In the doorway of glory he finds Death who puts his hands in hers and whispers to him, :Now... come home, now."
"Soon", he says.
The Crow, James O'Barr
This week- four tales of vengeance for souls brought back to put the wrong things right.
Detroit, a decrepit and crime ravaged city on Devil's Night, when gangs roam the streets leaving only burning buildings in their wake. One year ago, Shelly Webster was raped and mortally wounded as her fiancé, Eric Draven, was shot and thrown out of their loft apartment window. Tonight, Eric returns with the names of those who killed them ringing in his head. The first film entry in the franchise based on James O'Barr's cult masterpiece comic series, The Crow.
In Salt Lake City, three years ago, Alex Craven is framed for the murder of his girlfriend, Lauren. Tonight, Alex will be put to death for this crime and come back as the next Crow. With his lawyer and Erin, Lauren's sister, to help him, can Alex solve his own case and unravel the conspiracy that killed Lauren and set him up? Can anything bring The Crow: Salvation.
Jimmy Cuervo has been paroled after serving time for killing a rapist in a fight. He returns home to Lake Ravasu, a town that is divided between a corporate mining town and a Raven Aztec reservation, to be outcast by both sides. Except for his girlfriend, who he was protecting at the time of his crime, Lily Ignites the Dawn. Unfortunately, Lily has eyes which can see prophecies, which puts them in the sights of the local world ending Satanist cult. Jimmy comes back to hunt down the cult. Loosely based on the novel of the same name by Norman Patridge, The Crow: Wicked Prayer.
In Vancouver, on the night before Halloween, Eric Draven and his fiancée, Shelly, are killed in their loft apartment. One year later, Eric returns guided by a mystical bird and now having supernatural powers. He sets out to not just get revenge but also to find his own redemption. The syndicated tv adaption that was cancelled due to the studio being sold before they could begin the final arc, The Crow: Stairway to Heaven.
All that and Dave and Tyler have very different experiences with yet another avian avenger and Kevin gets his feathers plucked. Join us, won't you?
