neutral · AI labelView post →THE WRAITH could have been kind of a cool movie if it was shot better. Or had a good script. Or had any style whatsoever. Basically if it was a well-made movie it would have been pretty cool
negative · AI labelView post →localizing a movie title to EXECUTION RIDER is raw as hell but The Wraith is one that definitely is worthy of it

neutral · AI labelView post →The Wraith is an incredibly dumb 80s sci-fi movie. But I can't stop watching it. It's a car themed, hair metal precursor to the Crow.

I just kept thinking "you know, this feels a lot like Paprika". Yes Soph, it's an homage, keep watching 😅

This movie has everything: -Sherilyn Fenn 4 years before #TwinPeaks -a car gang of 6 that's overrun a small Arizona town -a dude whose punk haircut and makeup is different in every scene -Charlie Sheen as a mysterious motorcyclist...
