The premise

Exactly one year after young rock guitarist Eric Draven and his fiancée are brutally killed by a ruthless gang of criminals, Draven, watched over by a hypnotic crow, returns from the grave to exact revenge.

Horror Vault's take

On the grim, rain-soaked streets of Detroit, a man dragged back from death by a mysterious crow sets out to settle a score with the criminals who shattered his world. Equal parts supernatural revenge thriller and gothic love story, the film wraps its brutal action in an aching melancholy that lingers long after the credits roll. With a career-defining lead performance and a brooding visual style drenched in neo-noir shadows, it remains one of the most atmospheric comic-book adaptations ever committed to film.
