Dodge Daytona Pace Car
This movie exemplified 80s experimentation and reinvention, a la Madonna's many makeovers. Don't like the way things turned out? Start over with a new face, invincible attitude, go for what you want. The car and Charlie Sheen's moody pouting face were quite the unbeatable team (can't say I drooled over Charlie when he was at the swimming hole). Nothing compares to the look of the gang's techno-geek when he tried to boobytrap the car and couldn't!

Bad , but 'Good' Bad.
in fact worse...no seriously this could be THE WORST film ever.

It can't decide if it wants to be a road-movie, a teen romance, a supernatural sci-fi adventure, a slasher/revenge movie...it's all over the place, but that's what makes Wraith so perfect...it's SO bad.

The acting is weedy, the dialogue is unbelievably corny. I was almost in tears laughing at this...

Even worse than Roadhouse.

Great 80's Flick!
When I found this was out on DVD, I had to pick it up. It's a bit dated, but it is still pretty good.

The film involves a gang of car 'thieves' who meet a mysterious black car on the road and try to take it. One by one, the gang members end up dead. Sounds like a pretty good plot to me.

The wraith, a mythical being that drains the life energy from it's victims, is a fitting title, as each time a gang member dies, the car and driver get bolder and bolder.

The car itself is a technological wonder, actually being a Chrysler/PPG pace car that was built using space age composites and the like. It was used in the film, although since then, the original has been sold to a collector and subsequently lost.

This film has one of the best soundtracks from the 80's. It has everyone from Ozzy Osbourne to Honeymoon Suite. The film transfer was adequate, and makes this as good a quality as VHS, if not slightly better.

Overall, this is a cool film...
