This is what The Crow 2024 is about
Like the first film adaptation of the comic book by James O’Barr, The Crow tells the tragic story of the fate of the lovers Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelley Webster (FKA Twigs). Both are murdered in cold blood by killers led by the mysterious Vincent Roeg (Danny Huston) shortly before Halloween.
Eric returns to the world of the living through an old legend about a crow and, as a dark avenger who moves between the world of the dead and the living, embarks on a merciless hunt for the perpetrators. The fantasy action does not skimp on explicit depictions of violence, which has also earned it an FSK 18 rating.
The Crow 2024 fails to match the original
With an average of 2.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon and 4.5 out of 10 points in the Moviepilot community The remake is only moderately well received by the audienceEven in the professional critics, for example at FILMSTARTS, it is said with a rating of 2.5 stars that the 2024 remake of The Crow is no comparison to the original.
Rupert Sanders’ adaptation did not reach the emotional depth of the original, in part because the love story between Eric and Shelly is not really convincing. The Crow does have brutal action scenes that are not meant to be an end in themselves, but it lacks “the film the elegance and atmosphere that made the original unforgettable“.
