Synopsis: The Crow is the ultimate cult movie, with a dedicated worldwide following, and two sequels, plus a fourth currently in production. Now, ten years after the original film’s release, the full story of this seemingly cursed production can finally be told... 

In The Crow’s last days of filming, its star Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee) was killed in a strange on-set accident, while filming his character’s death scene. Bridget Baiss describes the chain of events which led from O’Barr’s creation of the graphic novel, up to this fateful day, and beyond, to the film’s final, triumphant release.

The definitive account of The Crow’s production and the phenomenon it became, packed with scores of interviews with the film’s cast and crew.
