The one link that this film has to the original is the return of the character of Sarah, previously seen as a child, time has passed and she is now a woman. Shot with his son and thrown into the lake to drown, Ashe Corven finds himself reborn by the power of the crow in a similar manner to the previous film’s Eric Draven. The result of this is their ordered execution by the films main villain – Judah Earl. The hero dies at the beginning of the film as he and his son witness a shooting spree by accident.

His performance was eerily similar to Lee’s and through watching this dark travesty, the audience can tell he gives this role his all.Īt times, I’m not sure whether this is a sequel or a reboot. Two years later and a sequel was released, this film features not only a new lead actor, but a completely new Crow, The new lead – Vincent Perez – who looked remarkably like the previous star Brandon Lee – and his performance is one of the few redeeming qualities regarding this film. It will be forever remembered for the tragic end of it’s lead actor who was shot my accident in a gun which contained a live round instead of harmless blanks. As you know, if you had read my review regarding the previous entry in the Crow film series, it was a sublime mixture of dark Gothic and high octane action.
