Wraiths of Roanoke 2007 American mystery classic movie review
An expedition from England arrives to a Roanoke Colony on the east coast of America, where 3 years earlier a group of colonists was left to build a settlement. The expedition reaches its goal and while the settlers managed to build a fort-like structure, the colony appears to be completely deserted. There are only two signs of the previous inhabitants - a skeleton of a dead man and a single word carved in one of the houses - "croatoan". The new colonists start to settle down in the abandoned houses, when strange things begin to happen in the forest around the fort.
The film based around the true story of the abandoned settlement of Roanoke seemed like a good idea that could create a good mixture of mystery and perhaps some thrills, but unfortunately the creators went for the paranormal explanation to the story, which is a shame. To make things slightly worse, clearly it was a low-budget effort that used cheap tricks from horror flicks, which completely ruined the promising project.
