The Crow (1994)

We as humans are fascinated with the unknown. For example. we are fascinated with the idea of the dead coming back to life or the afterlife in general. So, here comes this dark tale of a guy and his girlfriend who get killed by this gang who pretty much runs the city. Now their dead, but the only problem for this gang is that the boyfriend Eric Draven (The Late Brandon Lee), comes back from the grave to right what was wrong. That is the premise of this movie and I think this movie is a classic. It's one of the best and unfortunately the last movie Brandon ever starred in. I truly enjoyed the cinematography in this movie and the dark, gloomy feel to the movie. I think this by far is the best in the series. Not to forget, the movie boasts an excellent soundtrack of the top dark, Gothic acts in the music business at the time. My favorite scene in the film is when he realizes what he can do and he puts the make up on the first time and becomes the bringer of vengeance. The movie also stars Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) as Sergeant Albrecht, Rochelle Davis (Her Only Role to date) as Sarah, Michael Wincott as the kingpin known as Top Dollar, Ling Bai as his very weird sister Myca, David Patrick Kelly (The Longest Yard) as T-Bird, Angel David (GI Jane) as Skank, Laurence Mason (Ali) as the knife wielding Tin Tin, Michael Massee (Underdog) as Fun Boy, and Tony Todd (Candyman) as Granger, who make up the rest of Top Dollars cronies. This is one of my favorite films, so therefore it gets Five Out Of Five Stars
