Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, gather 'round, for I bring tidings of great joy—or should I say, great goth joy? That’s right, the brooding superhero from your favorite graphic novel is swooping back onto the big screen, and this time, he’s got a new face. Enter Bill Skarsgård, the man who made you check under your bed twice after watching It, now donning the iconic black feathers and face paint of The Crow.
Now, before you start thinking this is just another dark and dreary tale of vengeance, let me stop you right there. Yes, the story is about Eric Draven, a man who comes back from the dead to avenge his and his fiancée’s murder. But with Skarsgård at the helm, it’s less about the brooding and more about the… well, let’s call it “charismatic creepiness.”
Imagine this: Skarsgård, with his lanky frame and eyes that have seen the other side, walking down the rainy streets of the city, not with a scowl, but with a smirk. He’s not just out for revenge; he’s out to make sure he has a good time doing it. And with FKA Twigs by his side, you can bet it’s going to be a performance filled with as much grace as it is gore.
The trailer alone has fans buzzing with excitement, and not just for the action-packed sequences. There’s a scene where Skarsgård’s Crow, in the midst of a dramatic rooftop chase, stops to pet a cat. “I can’t leave you out in the rain,” he quips, before leaping off to continue his pursuit. It’s these little moments of levity that promise to make this remake a unique blend of horror, action, and humor.
So, mark your calendars for June 7th, because The Crow is coming to town, and it’s bringing a whole new meaning to “dark comedy.” With Skarsgård’s track record of turning the creepy into the captivating, we’re in for a treat that’s sure to ruffle some feathers—in the best way possible.
And remember, in the wise words of the man with the painted face himself, "It’s not a phase, mom, it’s my soul.
