The Crow Seeks Revenge at the Opera in Brutal New Clip

The Crow (2024) has released a new clip, showcasing an epic, bloody, battle inside an opera house.

The Crow reboot is still a movie that is coming out this summer – and there's a violent, bloody, new clip from the film here to remind us of that. 

The latest clip from The Crow (2024) is titled "Opera House" because... it's set in opera house, during an opera. Eric/The Crow (Bill Skarsgård) is seen murdering his way through the lavish theatre, headed for his target – Marian (Laura Birn), the "right-hand woman" to crime lord Vincent Roeg (Danny Huston). The Crow uses his (temporary?) immortality to battle Roeg's team of professional guards in the most brutal way possible: getting shot and stabbed as he kills his way into the venue. Meanwhile, some wealthy opera-goers are enjoying the show, which is a surreal production – one that mirrors The Crow's tale of two lovers (Eric and Shelly – played by FKA Twigs) surrounded by forces of mysticism and death. The clip ends with Eric ascending the stairs to the balcony level where Marian is seated, only to take a swarm of bullets from a new wave of guards. Eric falls to his knees seemingly dead, only to be once again resurrected as he jumps up and resumes his attack, knocking a guard out of the window. 

The scene is pretty much the mix of high-art and pulpy genre storytelling that director Rupert Sanders made his signature in Snow White and the Huntsman and Ghost in the Shell (2017).
