Bill Skarsgard as Eric Draven in a jacket with no shirt on and with chest tattoos in the remake of The Crow.
The Big Picture The Crow is, and always will be, Brandon Lee’s movie. It’s a movie that’s intertwined with tragedy with the accidental death of the lead during filming. It feels like a movie that is almost impossible to recreate and the 2024 adaptation, directed by Rupert Sanders, doesn’t try to do that. Instead, it is a reimagining of the source material in a 21st-century landscape. It adds backstory to its protagonists and focuses on building the relationship between Eric and Shelly .
Shelly ends up getting herself admitted to a rehabilitation facility to evade capture, and it is there we get our first glimpse of a grown-up Eric. Unlike the original, where Eric and Shelly are deeply in love and are preparing to get married, the 2024 remake shows the audience the magnetism the pair felt right from their first encounter. The purpose of the first half is to establish this relationship and show how strong their love is.
After numerous gory kills, Eric returns to the apartment he and Shelly first escaped to and finds her hidden phone. He retraces the steps of their romance, and the movie echoes this with flashbacks just in case you’d forgotten where we were. Essentially, the movie reminds you of Eric and Shelly’s all-consuming love so it can utilize Eric’s visceral reaction to the mysterious video to enter its third act.
