The Crow (1994): Halloween

October 14, 2018

This movie is such a product of the 90's, but I absolutely love it. It has the 90's police procedural vibe, as well as the dark supernatural superhero thing happening. But somehow, it's unlike any movie I've ever seen before and I love it. The story follows a musician, Eric, who is murdered by a gang on Devil's Night in Detroit. He is resurrected by a mysterious crow a year later and seeks revenge for the rape and murder of his fiancee. He is led to his murderers by the crow. This movie is full of violence, derelicts, and sweet sweet revenge. Brandon Lee plays Eric so perfectly, it's so tragic that he was accidentally killed during the making of the film. I definitely recommend checking this film out for Halloween. It's set on the night before Halloween, Devil's Night, so it's the perfect film to get you ready for the best holiday of the year.
