When the grizzly story winds up in the local newspapers Poe finds himself being questioned by local cops who wonder why a murderer is using the author's ideas to kill. When Fields discovers the murders mirror stories that have been showing up in the newspapers and are among a series of stories written by Poe, he is first suspicious of the writer but then finds another similar murder has happened even as the writer is held by police.ohn Cusack (Con Air, Pushing Tin) plays the part of Edgar Allen Poe in his last days, Police Inspector Emmett Fields is played by Luke Evans (The Three Musketeers, Immortals) who asks the famous Poe for his help in solving the murders and catching the killer before more are killed.

When Hollywood screenwriter David Sumner (James Marsden of Superman Returns, Death at a Funeral) and his wife return to her hometown they find tensions are high due to the locals who are threatening the new couple's presence. Amy Sumner (Kate Bosworth from Beyond the Sea, Superman Returns) is David's wife and comes from this Deep South Mississippi community so it makes sense that they would make the trip to this peaceful area to relax while he finishes a screenplay. The two of them soon learn this adventure is all about survival.lexander Skarsgard (Generation Kill) plays Amy's old boyfriend and he definitely wants to get her attention. Other talented cast members include James Woods, Dominic Purcell, Willa Holland, and Laz Alonso. The locals do not like intruders and even though Amy is from this sleepy little town she is no longer welcome, and neither is her "big city" husband. This film proves that a violent movie can definitely be remade and be even more violent and scary than the first.
