The haunting soundtrack, YouTube sound effects, and poor excuse of CGI does not draw away from the disappointing acting performances. Lucy's acting is compiled of apathetic facial expressions, coupled with a monotone delivery of lines. The overall plot is missing a lot of puzzle pieces, and was quite hard to follow half the time. The family apparently owned a dog that only appeared for one 30 second scene?? Solid no for me.

Not a horror but a lifetime ghost film. This was a nice film and the mansion was gorgeous. The house is old and haunted. The teenaged girl is not as rude and obnoxious as other teens in most films today, which is kind of a breath of fresh air. I found the story a mystery and not actually a horror as such. There was a ghost, some strange bumps in the night and a hidden chamber that no one knew was there before. I don't want to spoil it all but I can't help but say its a good film, and ignore the negative reviews.

Well, I must admit that I was lured in by the movie's cover, and also because it is a horror movie after all. And also having the likes of Lance Henriksen on the cast list was a big selling point.

"Wraith" starts out quite well actually, and director and writer Michael O. Sajbel manages to establish a rather foreboding atmosphere quite quickly. However, the illusion of this being a good movie actually dies rapidly, especially once the apparitions - or wraiths - start to manifest and appear to the inhabitants of the old house.

Storywise, then "Wraith" was fairly straight forward, to the point where it became too generic and just following the basic 'how-to-make-a-ghost-movie' blueprint step by step.

The movie lost all its built up atmosphere in the blink of an eye and fell deep into mediocrity, and it didn't improve as the movie progressed with slow paced steps. The movie actually felt rather monotonous in its pacing, and that made the movie suffer.

The acting in the movie was adequate, just a shame that the actors and actresses didn't have all that much to work with. The cast ensemble is relatively small, mind you, so there was an additional weight of performing to carry the movie put on their shoulders. And of course, it is always a pleasure to see Lance Henriksen in a movie.

The movie utilizes a religious cleaning of the house to drive away an evil presence. Yeah, it has been done so many times before, but that was hardly the main issue here. The fact that it was executed in less than five minutes and felt like the director realized he was running out of time and budget and had to rush to get it over and done with, just made the entire sequence come off as being ludicrous and laughable.

"Wraith", despite having a very menacing title, turned out to be less than mediocre, and it wasn't even remotely scary, despite the atmosphere that was established early in the movie - when it tumbled down, the movie just went beyond salvageable.

The special effects department in the movie definitely wasn't being pressed to their limits. If you sit down to watch "Wraith" hoping for dazzling special effects, let me just save you the agony right here, right now; don't bother.

This is hardly a particular memorable horror movie, nor a very noteworthy one at that. I managed to sit through it, and I can honestly say that I have no intention of watching it a second time, because the movie just had very little to offer in terms of a proper and solid script.
