a_chinn Edward Furlong plays a resurrected ex-convict who seeks revenge against a group to Satanists led by David Boreanaz and Tara Reid, who murdered his girlfriend. Not that the prior sequels were all that good, but this one is awful! All three main leads seem horribly miscast. Changing the setting from a dark Gothic cityscape to a mystical south of the border modern day western setting also seemed like a serious misstep. I'm tempted to say there is nothing to recommend about this film, but Danny Trejo does have a small part, so that's one glimmer amongst a sea of awful.
jroberts3456 I'll start this off by saying yes, unequivocally, this is an objectively terrible film. There's no way of getting around it. The script is terrible, the acting is worse. The direction is entertaining, especially for fans of the director's only other effort, b-movie classic Six-String Samurai. Aside from that, don't go into this looking for quality. If you're a fan of terrible movies, as I am, then this film is absolutely amazing. I watched this late one night in the hopes that it would lull me to sleep. I was wrong. Instead of encouraging slumber, I found myself enthralled by the sheer and absolute terribleness of the film. I won't go into too many details, so as to avoid spoilers (although why someone would mind if this was spoiled is beyond me) but I will say that this is a, absolute gem of badness and I loved every minute of it. If you're one of those that takes things seriously, don't bother with this one, just skip right over it and watch one of the many brilliant movies out there. But if you got the stomach and the taste for terrible film, then this one is not to be missed. It's worth noting that Dennis Hopper, as the pimp/satanic priest El Nino, positively steals the show with his relentlessly quotable dialog. I find myself remember his lines and laughing hysterically and there's even some great drinking game moments you could make from his scenes.
WakenPayne This isn't as good as I remembered it to be. The movie does have a few problems (eg, the spaghetti western style introductions to the antagonists, flashbacks containing lines of dialogue that really weren't in the original scenes) but I did find it in me to like this movie. Sure maybe not as much as the other Crow movies but I still thought it was pretty good.Now I maybe getting a bunch of people really angry at me for liking this movie (I don't get angry about anybody else's movie taste, I might have in my earlier years of reviewing but not now) . This is my opinion (and to some extent a guilty pleasure, how can you take Dennis Hopper seriously in this movie?).Now onto what I liked in this movie; basically I LOVED how they didn't make Cuervo an innocent. It does make him a little more 3 dimensional than what this movie. I also liked the change of setting and style to the other three movies (if you take out of account the opening).Basically, to me this movie is the ultimate B-movie for me to like. The writing could have been so much better than what it was (it was more on and off for me - meaning some writing in places was good - other times it was mediocre).So is it a movie to get all fancy about with these pseudo-"intellectuals" (I've met some "experts" they would have to be the worst people to talk about movies to)? The answer is "Oh GOD NO!" Is it a rather entertaining movie with many problems but good anyway? Yeah, I suppose so - well, it was for me.
judiths17 Many people loved The Crow 1 so much partly because it created an illusion, and good/evil were more clearly divided, conventional in a way. Wicked Prayer is different to that experience, rough and seems to make fun of the whole thing. It leaves you highly unsatisfied the first few times you see it, as contains hardly any believable action-scene which could let you enjoy more.My vote would have been 10 if it didn't accentuate the tribal theme a bit too much at some points. The actors are well-casted. This is not what you expect, but The Crow in quite a poor environment. I found the little side blows on demonstrations, naivety and how many people imagine evil nicely done.As with all such movies, it's about what flavor you search for at a certain point of time in your life. If you want a pleasant experience, you will be disappointed.
