Wraith

About This Movie

Wraith presents a gritty, urban take on the sci-fi genre, blending the everyday struggles of a New York City resident with surreal, almost nightmarish elements. The tone is heavy, underscoring a sense of dread as the protagonist battles not just external forces but the disintegration of his family life. There's a rawness to the practical effects that adds a layer of authenticity, making the otherworldly feel grounded. Performances are earnest, with actors navigating the fine line between desperation and hope. It’s distinctive in how it captures the essence of survival against odds that feel almost insurmountable, creating an atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.

Wraith has had a bit of a rocky history in terms of availability, with most prints being hard to find. Its scarcity has led to a niche but growing collector interest, particularly among those who appreciate lower-budget sci-fi gems with that raw practical effects vibe. The film's unique narrative approach and its atmospheric storytelling make it a curious piece for any collector looking for something off the beaten path.
