The Crow remake with Bill Skarsgård and FKA twigs: not great, but doomed to cult status - media
Kyiv • UNN
The new ‘The Crow’ starring Bill Skarsgard and FKA twigs has received mixed reviews from critics. The film balances between tragic romance and humour, but has the potential to become a cult film in the future.
The year 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the release of The Crow, a film adaptation of James O'Barr's underground comic book. It is quite difficult to remake a film that is so prominent in pop culture.
Director Rupert Sanders' interpretation, starring Bill Skarsgård and FKA twigs, has been discussed by critics since its official premiere. The first reviews reveal whether the remake will give a new face to the famous franchise.

Details
The new version of The Crow teeters on the edge between tragic romantic fanfiction and bad joke, both with the 1994 movie and the comic book written and illustrated by James O'Barr. This is stated in the review by Conecta Geek. The author notes the successful casting.
Bill Skarsgård is a Swedish actor known for his role as Pennywise the Clown in the film adaptation of Stephen King's novel It. He also played Roman Godfrey in the TV series Gamlock's Adit.

Both are beautiful, each has a certain strangeness that makes them special. However, their images still do not help the development of the picture.

The first film adaptation of James O'Barr's comic book was released in 1994. Unfortunately, the film directed by Alex Proyas became most famous because of the death of the main character. The actor Brandon Lee (Bruce Lee's son) was shot during filming and died shortly afterward. The new movie banned all firearms on the set. Many years later, the remake did take place
Proyas's mid-90s "The Crow" was a huge and sophisticated video clip.

The new movie may lose everything, mainly due to the inevitable comparisons with the original version of the film, the Los Angeles Times notes.
In his version, director Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman, Ghost in the Shell) worked with a script by Zack Beilin and William Schneider, which is considered to be more original.
The authors abandoned the traditional appearance of the anti-hero Eric Draven (Bill Skarsgård), giving him a short haircut and tattoos that has caused controversy since it became known. This image conveniently refers to hip-hop culture, but it is immediately noted that it does not make much sense because the hero does not practice this genre. The movie's soundtrack also does not contain any hip-hop songs.

Among other things. Sanders constantly emphasizes the violence, which was somewhat softened in Proyas's adaptation - the blood flows generously and in full color.

The review identifies a scene that can really capture a lot of attention:
Using the style of parallel montage that reached its highest point in The Godfather (1970), we are presented with a long fight scene in the entrance area of an elegant theater where an opera is being presented. The scene is so excessive and frenetic that it promises to provoke all kinds of commentary," the publication explains.
In fact, everything is very good, though not great, writes Gizmodo .
Even Alex Proyas' praised movie has problems. Perhaps the fresh interpretation of the story will not be an immediate success, but it is destined to discover potential fans in the coming years, the author of the review believes.

Each character has such a unique look and presence:
"You can't take your eyes off them," the viewer notes. Yes, indeed, the characters are broken, potentially terrible people. But you can also see and feel their inner side - there are, so to speak, "waves of innocence" in the image, and the chemistry of the performances in the film is simply off the charts.
So maybe Sanders doesn't have the story quite right, but the characters and execution are spot on.
