This May marks 30 years since The Crow hit theatres and to celebrate its anniversary, Paramount Home Entertainment is releasing it on 4K Blu-ray.
Based on James O’Barr’s comic book series and starring Brandon Lee, who died during the making of the film, The Crow is both a beautifully gothic film and an excellent action movie.

A big highlight of the movie when it was released in 1994 was the excellent soundtrack, which included tracks from The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Violent Femmes, Pantera, and many others.
Synopsis of The Crow
Young musician Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) is brutally murdered alongside his fiancée by members of a violent gang. On the anniversary of their death, Eric rises from the grave and assumes the gothic mantle of the Crow, a supernatural avenger.
