It has become a cult classic, known for its gothic visual style and tragic production history, including the accidental death of its lead actor Brandon Lee, who was fatally injured during filming.

One year after his death, Eric is resurrected by a mystical crow to seek vengeance on the people responsible for their deaths. As a supernatural anti-hero, Eric systematically hunts down the gang, using his newfound powers of invulnerability and heightened senses to exact justice.
