The Wraith (1986)
1/10
The title's the cleverest thing about it...

Here it is, folks; the most enjoyment you're gonna get from the film, and it essentially comes from looking at IMDb's title page! This really was an absolute chore to sit through. I'd hazard a guess that it was hoping for 'cult' status to be accorded at a later date, but in my eyes it was only pitifully wretched, with very little to redeem it. I suppose if you were trying to be charitable you could mitigate that its only aim was to be a silly, disposable 'boys with toys' fantasy - but even then I'd imagine it'd only play well with 27yr old's who still get a real 'kick' out of playing with their 'Lego'... !

Its 'nuts and bolts' are basically an inept "Christine" makeover; and what emerges is the kind of abomination likely to shave years off of the lives of John Carpenter and Stephen King, if and when they see it. I know I for one will definitely die a poorer man for having been subjected, anyway! 1/10.
