Where to Watch The Crow
- Casey BrysonAugust 31, 2026Alex Proyas made a receipe for The Matrix from The Crow and Dark City. Otherwise there is little here to enjoy here however unfortunate. It wasn't good then or now. Overrated.
- DarlingInThePlexxAugust 4, 2025Review by someone who owns a long black coat and never emotionally recovered This movie didn’t just define a genre—it created a subculture. If you’ve ever seen a brooding teen in eyeliner, black boots, and a Nine Inch Nails hoodie cry in the rain, you can thank The Crow. Brandon Lee (yes, Bruce Lee’s son, yes, I’m already crying) gives a haunting, electric performance as Eric Draven—a musician brought back from the dead to avenge the brutal murder of him and his fiancée. It’s gothic, gritty, poetic, violent, and yes… tragically real. Because Brandon died during filming. And once you know that, the whole film hits different. It’s not just fiction—it’s a requiem. The movie is basically Shakespeare with leather and eyeliner. The city is soaked in rain and sorrow, the lines are quotable in that perfect ’90s-angst-poetry way (“It can’t rain all the time”… excuse me, I’m SOBBING), and every single frame looks like it should be printed on a velvet journal from Hot Topic. Also: 🎸 The soundtrack? ICONIC. Every. Single. Track. Hits. Like. A. Bat. Through. Stained. Glass. Nine Inch Nails. The Cure. Rage. Pantera. This soundtrack raised a generation of beautifully sad weirdos—myself included. The cast? Flawless. • Brandon Lee is transcendent. • That little girl (Rochelle Davis) gives more emotion than half of Hollywood combined. • The villains are unhinged, cartoonish, terrifying, and perfect for this comic-book fever dream. Yes, they made sequels. No, we do not speak of them. This movie is sacred. Watch it on a stormy October night. Light a candle. Put on your old combat boots. And pour one out for Brandon Lee. 🖤
- Vic Da GodMay 28, 2026Excellent soundtrack
- Tim JankowskiApril 25, 2026It can't rain all the time. Although they can't make movies like this all the time, absolute classic.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 12, 2024Fantastic movie that delivers on all fronts. It's beautiful, intense and interesting.
- Scott EnmanApril 11, 2026Caw caw!!!
- GBWestMarch 30, 2026The Crow, starring Brandon Lee is a perfect analogy of life between men and women could be, there is a common goal that he toils over for her...for them. When his duty is done she is there as his comfort, his calm and the one person who can bring him peace like no other can. I havent seen this movie in a very long time, it is much better than I remembered.
- George BananzaMarch 22, 2026Rest in peace.
- 0 1February 9, 2026amazing film score.
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Think I would have liked this more had I seen it during it’s original release. Loved the look, aesthetics felt very much like Gotham City, and Lee’s performance even has a Joker quality at times. Liked Ernie Hudson and Tony Todd. Michael Wincott played the same damn character he’s played in everything, ever. The budget for breakaway glass must have been off the charts for this. Enjoyed it, but this is one of those films that I was just too late to the party, I think.
- darsanFebruary 8, 2026RIP brandon lee 💔💔 he gave an iconic performance as eric draven.
- Adam AragonNovember 2, 2025I watch this every Halloween. It still holds up. It's Gothic and melodramatic and very 90s but I still cherish it. A great action movie with heart and style.
- Teddy Lee Brewer JrOctober 16, 2025One of the very early action-porn movies. Brandon Lee's last movie and taken from a pretty great story.
