Cert. 18 Length: 100 mins. Available on: Entertainment in Video, EVS 1157 Price: £13.99 Director: Alex Proyas Starring: Brandon Lee, Ernie Hudson, Tony Todd, Michael Wincott, Michael Berryman, Jon Polito With: David Patrick Kelly, Angel David, Rochelle Davis, Bai Ling, Laurence Mason, Michael Massey, Bill Raymond, Marco Rodriguez, Sofia Shinas, Anna Thompson Plot: A year after his murder and that of his fiancée, a young rock musician rises from the grave seeking vengeance. He is guided by a mysterious crow. Comments: Based on James O'Barr's black and white comic book, this film's revenge plot borrows heavily from Clint Eastwood's ghostly "High Plains Drifter" but is offset by a strong cinematic style and an aura of tragic melancholy - perhaps made more so by Brandon Lee's accidental death during filming. Digital imaging tricks allowed Lee to appear in the rest of the film though it may have been much better if he had lived to do those scenes himself. What is left after all the cutting is a highly polished rock video rather than a horror film, but there's nothing wrong with that if you like the idea of seeing someone dressed up like Robert Smith of The Cure wasting bad guys to the beat of heavy rock licks.Dr Blood's rating: 7/10 |
