Review of The Vagrant (1992) by Ashley W — 19 Jul 2010
This is a movie that in no way takes it self seriously. The plot is farcical, the actors over play there parts and the directon is over done. The result is pure cult. Its a shame that this movie is not available on DVD.
Bill Paxton plays a yuppy Graham Krakowski who buys a house and ends up being menaced and framed for murder by a strange and sinister Vagrant played by the always excellent Marshall Bell. Soon people start dieing and all fingers are pointing in Krakowski direction.
The movie surfs the fine line between comedy and horror very well. Mainly because the movie doesn't try to fit into any real category, its not exactly horror, its not exactly comedy. it could be called black comedy but I most people who have seen it would call it, Unique.
