The Crow Warning: A Dull, Lifeless, Meaningless Remake

FILM REVIEW –

Aug. 2024 – Because she has drugs in her purse, she is immediately shipped off to a fantastical co-ed drug rehab center wherein everyone wears pink jumpsuits and sleeps in prison-like cells. Because the editing in “The Crow” is so bad … The premise should be easy to describe, but Sanders and his screenwriters, Zach Baylin and William Schneider, heaped in a little too much nonsensical lore. The young drug addict Shelly (FKA Twigs) and her best friend Zadie (Isabella Wei) have an incriminating video of billionaire industrialist Vincent Roeg (Danny Huston). Roeg, it seems, is in league with the Devil, and knows a magical spell that forces innocent people to take their own lives. He has been feeding souls to Satan (not pictured) in a Faustian exchange for eternal life.
