It's actually about the interpretation of the genius writer Allan Poe's case

Fans who like Poe are worth seeing. The screenwriter incorporated his main works into the movie. Including the death of Poe.
It is worth mentioning that John Cusack, the actor who plays Allan Poe, is a powerful actor. The performance was very exciting. During the summer vacation, I watched another work of his. He collaborated with Robert De Niro, and Cusack played a prisoner of reform through labor. The fierceness of his appearance was very impressive and completely different from his past niche image. In "The Crow", he interprets the decadent, drug-addicted genius writer Edgar Allan Poe, and interprets the characteristics of decadence, arrogance, and affection in one place.
In reality, Poe's works, novels are actually more terrifying and darker than movies. Some works can only be seen during the day. He actually wrote it after taking drugs. So most of the works are psychedelic and terrifying weird colors.
I suggest you read the collection of Poe's novels first. If you like his work, watch this movie again.
Otherwise this movie will feel more general. It is more suitable for lovers of Allan Poe.

  • Edgar Allan Poe: I often thought I could hear the sound of darkness as it stole across the horizon, rushing towards me. But here I was overwhelmed by a sorrow so poignant. Once she finally died I felt in all candour a great release, but it was soon supplanted by the return of that dark and morbid melancholy that has followed me like a black dog all my life...
