Literally my favourite movie, an experience. From the very first frame, it wraps you in a dark, tragic atmosphere that feels both haunting and strangely comforting. What draws me in every time is its unique blend of gothic style, emotional depth, and gritty revenge narrative. Itโs not just about violence or vengeance; itโs about love, loss, and the pain of having something beautiful torn away, and the need to set things right.
Brandon Leeโs performance as Eric Draven is unforgettable. Knowing the tragedy surrounding his death during filming only amplifies the raw emotion he brings to the role. Thereโs a sincerity in his portrayal, a man broken by grief but powered by love, that makes the character resonate deeply. Itโs not often a comic book adaptation feels this human.
