Revisiting a Murder: The Crow: Wicked Prayer

By the time The Crow: Wicked Prayer arrived in 2005, the franchise was already on life support. The movie had a brief one-week theatrical premiere before being unceremoniously dumped to the video market. To be fair, the movie really isn’t that good, it looks bad even next to the prior outing, the also direct to video The Crow: Salvation. With that said, as I revisit the film now, I still see it as a bad movie, but there are things that I have come to like about it. It is like there are good elements in spite of its efforts to be a bad movie. Overall, the feel is not unlike that of the latter Hellraiser sequels, made as a reason to hang on to the license.

Movie Review: The Crow - Wicked Prayer

As my series on the films of Brandon Lee came to a close with the amazing The Crow, I felt inspired to continue. This continuation meant moving forward with reviews of the other Crow films. Now, I have reached the end of that brief journey (it's not like covering the seemingly endless string of Hellraiser sequels). The final film (to the time of this writing, anyway) is by far the worst. It is goofy, poorly written, badly acted, and exceptionally dull.
