The VAGRANT (1992) Bill Paxton - Scream Factory

[DR Herbert West]

"a horror comedy that works. It's crazy, offbeat and funny." – arrow in the head.com

ambitious young executive graham krakowski (bill paxton, aliens, titanic) has plotted out every move of this life and career. What he didn't plan on was a creepy vagrant living opposite his new home. And when the mysterious man (marshall bell, total recall, virus) sneaks into graham's home and starts playing sick mind games, he is driven to take matters into his own hands. Detective ralf barfuss (michael ironside, scanners) stays hot on graham's trail while graham wages war against the unrelenting vagrant, who is robbing him of his sanity… and quite possibly his life. The comedic psychological thriller is directed by special effects wizard chris walas (the fly, raiders of the lost ark).

I love this film, shame I seem to be in a minority on that front! Perhaps the chief reason why I'm grateful Scream didn't get all these new studio deals sooner, as I sincerely doubt they'd have gone back and upgraded all those MGM titles they originally issued on DVD.

That's a good point. I doubt they'd bother with it now.

One of my favorite Bill Paxton films. R.I.P.

My wife sits through a ton of horror trash in our household so she's mostly 'meh' when it comes to any scare-factors being that she is super de-sensitized.

For some reason, however, this movie really affected her! I know now she has a real fear of homeless people hahaha.. she was outright disturbed by this one. Great movie, highly recommended!

Agreed. This film really surprised me, I got based on Paxton alone and loved it. It has some creepy moments.

Blu-ray or DVD? I saw the Blu-ray earlier at my local record shop and it was used for $9.99, but I got Arrow’s Children of the Corn instead

I've never seen this. Saw it was out of print and managed to find one at a decent price! Looking forward to watching it. Anything with Bill Paxton, I'm in!
