Aaagh! I'm tweakin', dude!

The Wraith (1986)


Charlie Sheen stars as a mysterious figure who returns to avenge the death of Sherilyn Fenn's murdered boyfriend in this mediocre thriller. More of a car chase movie than a horror film, The Wraith does boast some cool race scenes, some weird characters with funny haircuts and a cool turbocharged Dodge. The Wraith mixed car chases with elements of the supernatural and has become quite a cult classic since its release over 30 years ago. In recent years I have enjoyed watching this movie again and again for the chase sequences and the soundtrack that is quite well done for a seemingly minor film. Can you find another movie with a pair of brainless minions named Skank and Gutterboy? If you answered The Crow, then you just discovered another revenge based thriller worth checking out. Look for Randy Quade and Clint Howard sporting an Eraserhead inspired hairpiece. Most of all enjoy the Dodge Turbo Interceptor and a very young and sassy Ms. Fenn.
