The Wraith

[andrehny]

a typical 80's cool teenager movie, with radiophonic hard rock, bullies, hot cars, some nudie cuties, savage-donkey-punks stereotype and a sci-fi excuse.

they tried to done this well, but some bad-good dialogues/situations makes me laugh.
That's ok, it's a very entertaining movie.

It's like a less-debauchee-Troma to a wider audience,
and there's no technical kiss with Charlie Sheen...

The Wraith's suit always reminded me of the the cyborg in The Vindicator. The latter is an awsome movie.

I have yet to see former but I remember looking at the vhs box a lot whenever we'd rent movies. I always found something else I wanted to watch more.

My favorite part of the review is the reference to The Apple. A film that is surely in my top 12.

That one guy who was always snorting brake fluid was my favorite.

A nice big steaming hunk of 80's cheese, good for an edition of Insomnia Theater. It's amazing how far the cast got just reading off cue cards. And Loomis has got to be just about the most worthless law officer ever in modern film. I guess people stopped reporting their cars stolen because they knew he'd never investigate--the Wraith should have killed him too! I get the feeling though that this could have been a really GREAT movie if it had had a budget, a better cast, better writing, and better effects.
