re: Came Across "The Wraith" on Encore Last Night

The Wraith exists in such a weird vacuum. The definition of a tweener movie. Its pretty good. But not too good. It's violent, but not too violent. It was both too early and too late on the movie and cultural scenes in the late '80s--arriving at the tail end of the metal movement but just before grunge hit. It's why 2 1/2 star ratings were invented.

As an aside, I posted Sherilynn Fenn up from The Wraith in the OT thread about "hottest actresses of all time." Sherilynn was obviously sexy (and nude) in plenty of other movies of the time, but she was drop-dead stunning in The Wraith.

And how the frick was this movie rated PG-13 with multiple scenes showing breasts during sensual moments?

I remember buying the soundtrack on vinyl at New Generation.
