The Crow fans are curious to know what happened in the end. The action-fantasy tale follows Eric Draven and Shelly Webster who are soulmates murdered due to the latter’s dark past. Eric is asked to sacrifice himself to rescue his true love. A revengeful Eric travels between living and dead land to punish the wrongdoers who separated his lady love from him.
Here’s a detailed explanation of The Crow’s ending, including Eric losing powers, resurrection, and confrontation with Vincent Roeg.
What happened to Eric at the end of The Crow (2024)?
The Crow‘s conclusion witnesses an ultimate showdown between a vengeful Eric and Vincent Roeg at the latter’s home. Initially, Eric battles Roeg’s forces, bringing them to their knees one by one inside a theater. He also beheads two of Roeg’s most loyal allies and showcases their heads to the theatrical crowd.
Later, Eric and Rogue engage in an intense battle, wherein the latter utilizes his demonic abilities to full power. However, Eric’s newly-gained powers aid him in pushing the villain into the Kronos dimension. The damned spirits assist him in dragging Roeg to hell as well. Although he triumphs over Rogue, his human self dies in the real world. On the other hand, Shelly is resurrected and Eric in the Kronos dimension is hopeful about their meeting one day.
Why was Eric resurrected in The Crow (2024)?
The soulmates die at the film’s beginning all thanks to Roeg’s demonic forces. However, Eric is not dragged into hell like Shelly is. Rather, he is summoned by a spirit called Kronos and is taken to his dimension. There, Kronos offers him an opportunity to punish Roeg and seek revenge on him. This is because even he is fed up with Roeg, who constantly threatens his existence, leveraging the demonic powers. He wants him to be eradicated from the living world, thus he resurrects Eric and grants him the power of God.
Why did Eric lose his powers in The Crow (2024)?
Eric’s powers only exist until his pure love of Shelly resides within his heart. When he learns a shocking truth about her in a video, he eventually loses that love and is stripped of powers. Eric becomes willing to sacrifice his soul to resurrect Shelly. However, Kronos agrees to fulfill his demand, once Roeg is defeated.
