Name of Reviewer: S. Dalgarno

Title of Book: The Crow: The Story Behind the Film

Author: Bridget Baiss

Publisher, Date and Price: Titan Books, January 23, 2004,  RRP £14.99

Reviewed on: 22nd June 2005

The crow was a great cult film with a great following.  It had plenty of action scenes from Brandon Lee, who tragically lost his life whilst filming a scene with a gun. The Last half of the film was made using computer-generated images of Brandon with another actor.

This book explains how the film was made, how the special effects budget went up and how the film set was thought to be mysteriously cursed during filming of certain scenes.

This book is a credit to the wonderful actors and actresses and other people involved in bringing to the big screen a story that had such a tragic ending for actor Brandon Lee.

I would give this book a mark out of 10, because: 8/10. A thoroughly good read, although a tragic tale.

I would recommend this book to: Anyone that would enjoy a good non fiction fact based read.
