FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP! Our second selection in the HalloRe’ewind series comes courtesy of Devlin, who has delved back into his sulky late-teen years to choose the seminal goth-lite tragic romantic 1994 comic book revenge actioner The Crow.
Striking rock vocalist Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) and his beautiful fiancée Shelley are viciously attacked on Hallowe’en eve, or Devil’s Night, by a gang of thugs who throw Eric to his death from their apartment’s ornate rose window. One year later, Eric rises from his grave to avenge his beloved Shelley, who succumbed later to her injuries, by killing each gang member responsible. Guided by a mysterious crow and now impervious to injury, his face painted to resemble a ghoulish white mask, he stalks the streets of Detroit on a path of righteous destruction that leads him to the sinister gangland boss Top Dollar (Michael Wincott).
We relive the dark and gloomy nineties angst, revel in the industrial/grunge soundtrack, marvel at the weird career of director Alex Proyas, mourn the passing of the film’s rising star Brandon Lee, and mock Devlin for his formative small town miserabilism. Stick with us as all 4 panelists choose their seasonal faves all throughout October!
