The cult film The Crow arrives tomorrow on 4K for its 30th anniversary and we’re here to check it out.
While 2024 was already notable for being the year the long-developing remake of The Crow comes out, it’s also the 30th anniversary of the original cult film starring the late Brandon Lee as Eric Draven. As part of that anniversary, a special 4K UHD release of the film is coming out tomorrow and it is better than ever.
The Crow has been one of my favorite films for years, and I was curious to see what a 4K upgrade would do for the film. As it turns out, the answer is a lot. The film always looked magnificent, but in 4K it’s absolutely stunning. Each frame shines in a way that leaves the entire film looking brand new. This is easily one of my favorite 4K restorations of a film.
It’s not just the visuals that make the 4K release impressive; there’s also several new special features that give a look at how the film was made from the perspective of the production design. There’s also a full set of commentaries and featurettes from previous home video releases. The steelbook cover for the film is particularly gorgeous, featuring art and iconic lines from the film on both front and back.
The full list of special features are listed below:
- NEW 4K RESTORATION OF THE FILM
- NEW Shadows & Pain: Designing The Crow
