Our take

The Crow follows lovers who are murdered, then a revenge walk through the living and the dead. You get brutal killing, frequent f-word language, grief, and talk of an overdose. Gothic and mean, not a superhero origin. Older teens and adults

Story (may spoil tone)

Soulmates Eric and Shelly are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right.

Talk after watching

  • Revenge is the whole engine. What does the film think it costs?
  • Love and death are tangled. How do you talk about that with a teen who likes dark romance?
