Our take on The Crow

Alex Proyas's 1994 gothic fantasy-thriller follows rock guitarist Eric Draven, who returns from the grave exactly one year after he and his fiancée were murdered by a vicious gang. Guided by a mysterious crow, he sets out to deliver a methodical revenge. Proyas drenches the film in rain-slicked, comic-book noir imagery, its grief and rage inseparable from its stylized violence. This is mood-driven cinema built on atmosphere, mournful romanticism and striking visual design rather than plot complexity. It suits viewers drawn to dark fantasy, tragic love stories and a distinctly nineties gothic aesthetic; those seeking lightness or realism should look elsewhere.
