We featured the first and only script review for Wicked Prayer last year. Well, now another review of the script has flown through our window! Check out what “Chuck” has to say about the Crow: Wicked Prayer script:

Hey guys got a Wicked Prayer script review for you. I was told this draft was pretty much what they filmed. Let me start off by saying I have read every Crow script except Lazarus. How does Wicked Prayer measure up? Well it doesn't, the other scripts (even the first) don't measure up to it!! It's really that good folks. If you've been following Wicked Prayer at all there is really no need for me to give story details. I'll just say this movie is part western + love story + martial arts= Wicked Prayer. The whole thing has a very dream like quality to it, like you are watching someone's dream or nightmare unfold. Now I will break it down for you even more:

Favorite things for me:

Jimmy is a great character. His love for Lily is all he has and wants. After their deaths his reluctance to kill is stemmed from a past event in his life involving Lily. You really get the feeling since Lily's dead; all he wants is to die so he can be with her. His anger not only stems from their murder but also that he's been delayed his time with Lily. However, once he finally accepts his mission, it is on. He dishes out some serious retribution to all the baddies.

You actually have well developed characters. You see Lily before her death; you see her relationship with Jimmy real-time, not in all flashbacks as in previous Crow films. The baddies actually have an explained back story.

The story has so much black humor that has really been missing from the films. Jimmy and Luc easily have the sharpest lines.

I love the desert setting; it gives the story the whole western vibe, not to mention some characters are referred to as gunslingers sizing each other up.

The film is very brutal. The fight scenes are amazing on the page. The film may have a lot of unseen but implied gore.

Well there you have it. I give the script a lot of credit for being fresh but keeping consistent with the Crow mythos. I have no doubt that Edward Furlong and company can easily pull it off. I can't wait to see this thing in whatever form it's released. Thanks to Chuck for passing this on to us. Now, we just need the film to be released sometime this decade!

Take care…..
