I could just imagine David Boreanaz and Eddie Furlong looking at this movie and groaning in deep shame and wondering why the hell they ever agreed to act in this lousy movie! In my opinion, I think the directors and writers are doing the best to destroy all "The Crow" movies. I haven't seen a good "The Crow" movie since the very first movie where Brandon Lee was killed while filming this movie. All the movies afterwords were really terrible even though they all did a pretty good job in giving these movies a sad, melancholy atmosphere that really works. This "Wicked Prayer" movie tries hard to give some spirituality to this movie and it just doesn't work at all! David Boreanaz is hysterically funny and over the top as "Death", a crazy satanic cult leader. I don't think David had a choice, he could've played it really scary and solemn except he can't because his dialogue was just so funny and ridiculous. He did the best he could and even though his acting was awful, he really made the movie for me. David's charisma spilled over everything every time he was on the screen. Not necessarily a good thing since Eddie Furlong is suppose to be the protagonist in this film. Eddie Furlong did his best and sometimes he even succeeded in some scenes, but his acting was badly wasted. Given a better script and better dialogue, Eddie Furlong would've been terrific as the latest reincarnation of "The Crow".
Why the hell was Tara Reid chosen to play the role as the sexy, evil girlfriend of "Death"? She was awful! And incredibly bland! She's a very lovely looking young woman but no way can she act like a mysterious femme fatale! As I watch this young actress, I kept on thinking, is she even happy playing this role? I thought she looked sorta miserable, with David Boreanaz upstaging her every chance he got.
Crappy, crappy movie, but worth a look if you want to howl with laughter at David's over the top acting and Tara's bad acting.
I give this movie a D-.
