The Vagrant
A business man buys a house, but he has a hard time trying to get rid of its previous tenant, a dirty bum.
Why it matters
A grimy blend of slasher grit and offbeat dark comedy that captures early ’90s direct-to-video horror’s scrappy spirit.
- Practical effects deliver grimy, brutal kills that recall the era’s low-budget charm without losing punch.
- David Hess, horror cult staple, brings a menacing gravitas to the titular vagrant, elevating the trashy premise.
- Perfect for fans of urban decay horror and ’90s DTV schlock with a weirdly compelling undercurrent of social commentary.
- More rough around the edges than polished, but that’s part of its crooked appeal—expect uneven pacing and raw production values.
