Reaction: This Jack Brown-penned Crow film grossed slightly less than the previous two from writer Jacob Jones, but managed a bigger profit in large part thanks to its smaller budget.
“The Crow: Midnight Garden takes a little while to get me properly invested in the story. There are a few plot holes I found throughout, but, similarly to other Crow movies it didn’t stop me from being entertained while watching it. I would put this Crow film on the same level of the others, count me in for another.” - J. Johnson, DailyMovieNews.com
"The Crow is alive! Writer Jack Brown finds that new take on the popular cult classic that's a lightning-in-a-bottle adaptation. Something we fans of the OG Brandon Lee movie have been waiting on. Overall, I would say this is a sample of the IP potential, then take your time for the next one to make sure it's worthy follow-up." - Stephen Anderson, Entertainment Weekly?
"This take on The Crow mythos from writer Jack Brown does a lot right with the property. I was not familiar with Sophie Thatcher before this, but she impressed me as the title character here. Brendan Fraser maybe isn't the most obvious choice here, but he also did a really good job playing a cop falling apart at the seams. Despite a little less action, The Crow: Midnight Garden is more cohesive in terms of tone (and sound) than the two previous films in LRF from writer Jacob Jones, but it is also very depressing - even for a Crow film! Midnight Garden is almost more of a gloomy, gothic drama than a story of a supernatural avenger - and that's okay!" - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press
Rated R for graphic violence, disturbing sexual content, language and thematic elements
