Review of Lost Colony: The Legend of Roanoke

"Wraiths of Roanoke" is a horror film based on the true story of the Lost Colony, where the first 117 settlers mysteriously disappeared on Roanoke Island, North Carolina in 1587. In this film, the audience is presented with the possibility that evil wraiths left on the island from the Vikings was responsible for the colonies disappearance. Surprisingly, this is a pretty good film in the long line of Sci-Fi Channel Films. The cast and crew do a fine job of creating a terrifying, exciting film. Adrian Paul of "Highlander" fame is terrific as Ananias Dare, the leader of the colony. We see as he struggles to find an answer to the mystery, and falls apart when he begins to feel that he has failed the colonists. The supporting cast does a terrific job as well, including Frida Show, who plays Eleanor Dare, Ananias' daughter. The plot and story are in good form, and the visual effects are nearly flawless, save for a couple of scenes. Overall, this is a fine fantasy/horror film based on a true story. Fans of of these kinds of films will surely enjoy this film. Grade: B+
