    The Crow

    The film feels lifeless, lacking the raw energy and atmosphere that made the original a cult classic. The pacing is slow, and the story never fully engages, making it difficult to stay invested.

    The Monkey

    ★★★

    The Monkey starts off strong with a gripping first act that sets up the cursed toy monkey and its eerie presence but in a fun and captivating way. The tension builds well, and the film does a good job of drawing the audience into its atmosphere. Theo James shines as the nerdy twin, making him feel believable and interesting, but his performance as the other brother doesn’t quite work as well. The film’s pacing keeps things engaging, with creative death…
