Crow Box Set [3 Discs]

MOVIE DESCRIPTION:

This three-pack from Disney/Buena Vista contains discs for The Crow, The Crow: City of Angels, and The Crow: Salvation. All three discs are graced with widescreen anamorphic transfers that preserve the original theatrical aspect ratio of the films. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are crisp and clean. Spanish subtitles are accessible. Each of the discs is loaded with quality extras like commentary tracks, making-of featurettes that cover numerous aspects of production, and deleted scenes. Although each of these titles is available individually, this set offers a cost effective way to acquire all three. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

REVIEW:

• This dark romantic fantasy of revenge from beyond the grave has a blackly funereal beauty which makes up for some of its sillier elements. The Gothic-style production design and an achingly poetic performance from the late Brandon Lee should make it a favorite among certain types of young people, while action fans should appreciate the moments of bone-crunching violence and a great villainous turn by Michael Wincott. An unexpected treat from promising director Alex Proyas, The Crow was followed by a wretched sequel. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
