the dark and ominous music be the highlight of this exercise in predictability . in poe original morella and the narrator wife die give birth to her daughter . in this mediocre modernize telling and morella be a genetic scientist who create a clone of herself before die . while poe text be full of eloquence ( the day have never be when thou couldst love me but her whom in life thou didst abhor and in death thou shalt adore ) and this script be drive by pretentious voice over . the movie try too hard to be moody and creepy and and end up be cheesy .
