The Crow  (1994), directed by Alex Proyas, Paramount 30th anniversary 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical 5.1, two commentary tracks, Jaboody Dubs riff commentary, and subtitles in twelve languages. IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109506/ Video encoded in two-pass 13.5 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned. Note : Much requested, here finally is the new 4k remaster of this classic 90s movie, enjoyed by countless goths. And what it lacks in narrative sophistication, it makes up for in endless style, from the hyper-stylized cinematography, shrouded in inky darkness pierced by colored light, to the 90s grungy industrial set design and the haute couture gothic costumes. Brandon Lee, of course, gave everything in this role, and it's sad to think what might have been, but at least he'll be remembered for this for a long time. Rest of the cast includes Rochelle Davis as a street kid, Ernie Hudson as a cop who can't kick the chain smoking habit he picked up from the Ghostbusters, Michael Wincott, being deliciously evil and stylish, Bai Ling, planting the seeds of various fetishes in a million 90s teenage boys, David Patrick Kelly making the most of a small role, and even our old buddy Tony Todd, cooler than everyone as usual. It's aged pretty well, I'd say, although it's not without its flaws, and if you like 90s alternative music, the soundtrack's full of bangers. On Devil's Night in Detroit, a young woman is raped, while her musician boyfriend Eric Draven is murdered. She eventually dies in the hospital. A year later, their graves are visited by Sarah, a young girl they cared for. A crow lands on Eric's gravestone, and he's resurrected, going back to his old apartment, discovering that he's invulnerable, and dressing up like a goth clown before going on a rampage of revenge against the criminal gang. He works his way through their ranks towards Top Dollar, an evil crime boss who engages in black magic with his lover/half-sister, but things get more complicated when Eric has to face down an opponent with experience in the occult. This 4k remaster is not as great as it could have been, with somewhat soft details and crushed blacks, but the contrast is good, color is mostly fine (some fire tends to pink at times and there are a few other things that feel off, but nothing major), and it has reasonable grain. This new release didn't come with any commentary tracks, but I've synced the ones from a previous release, as well as the Jaboody Dubs commentary, for a more complete release. Hot tip  Quote:HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk gothic” for more dark mood and low lit cathedrals, “hevk fantasy” for more of the fantastic, or “hevk 90s” for more from the decade when a myriad annoying mall goths did this makeup for years.
