Bernard K Started out as a comedy, then just became insane. No sense to it at all. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/17/20 Full Review Audience Member This movie is ok. At least I watched it all the way through. It's Kind of like a long Tales From The Crypt episode. It would have been better as a 30 to 40 minute TV episode. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Ridiculous entertainment. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Was a fun horror to watch. Doesn't take itself too seriously and has some good comedy. Reminds me of an obscure movie you'd come across flipping channels late at night. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The Vagrant is another horror film recently rescued from obscurity by Shout! Factory's Scream Factory label. The movie tells the story about a young successful guy who is being terrorized by a vagrant in his new apartment. The movie goes for a dark comedy feel, but doesn't always succeed. There are moments when I laughed out loud and was drawn into it, but never fully. I also didn't care for the girlfriend character, who was more or less bitchy and uninteresting. The movie probably would have worked better if it wasn't a black comedy, at least not as overtly, but by itself, it can still be an entertaining watch, but just don't expect to want to see it more than once. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member It's scrambled, but entertaining. Early stars, some humor, and a bit of a wacko plot. Simple at times, dull at others, but memorable enough to stand out. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
