essentially a rev up sci fi version of high plain drifter with 80 teen and the cute young spirit of vengeance drive the mad max interceptor instead of rid into town on a horse and the wraith be one i have remember fondly since first see it on monstervision with joe bob briggs in the 90 . the story be and a other reviewer have note and pretty hopelessly stupid and with dialogue alternate between bland and quotably goofy . sheen and though top bill and have little to do and isn not particularly charismatic when he on screen . consequently and the wraith experience be all about the superficial element represent slick car action and hot 80 pop and eye please girl and etc . also noteworthy and however and be the colorful support cast and include randy quaid a the sheriff and and scene steal comic relief cretin skank and gutterboy and and rughead ( the eternally fascinating clint howard sport an eraserhead wouldo ) . it amuse to see the wild array of user reaction to the wraith and range from exaggeratedly laudatory ( sheen post impressionist masterpiece and whatever that mean ) to dismissive ( really bad 80 cheese ) to indignantly blunt ( crap . ) . it really depend on how you feel about the wacky decade that unleash the wraith and a disposable 80 trash flick par excellence . all you need to know be that this movie be 80 to the max . i might be dispose to dismiss the wraith a time waste crap and myself and if it weren not for the fact that it such utterly fun and nostalgically classic crap .
