Must See Movies: The Crow

2 months ago 28th Aug 10:05

Based on the comic book of the same name by James O'Barr 1994 film The Crow, which starred Brandon Lee, is this week's must see movie.

Legend goes that crows ferry the dead across to their resting place. However if the death demands revenge then the crows will assist the avenging souls.

On the eve of his wedding, Eric Draven and his fiancee are attacked by criminals, she is viciously assaulted and both are murdered.

Draven, once a loving man, returns to the nightmarish city. With the crow as Charon, Draven steps out of the night as a killer instead of a victim.

Exploiting his undead ability to heal quickly, he delivers murderous justice with both glee and bitterness to each criminal who snuffed out his life on the brink of happiness.

While many comic book movies crash and burn once made and released, with many of the films not respecting the original material, The Crow has gone on to become one of the most successful movies in this genre.

The filmmakers, directed by Alex Proyas, stick to the dark subject matter as Lee delivers a haunting performance as the out for revenge Draven who was robbed of his chance of happiness.
