I hadn't heard about this 1992 movie "The Vagrant" from writer Richard Jefferies and director Chris Walas before now in 2023 as I stumbled upon it. Seeing that the movie was starring Bill Paxton, of course I picked it up and opted to give it a view.
Well, as it turned out, then I hadn't really been missing out on a particular milestone in Bill Paxton's acting career, because "The Vagrant" was a less than mediocre horror comedy. The storyline in the movie sort of fell short of entertaining me and didn't push any of the right buttons for me, so it was somewhat of a swing and a miss from writer Richard Jefferies in terms of entertaining me.
The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, and Bill Paxton did carry the movie well enough. It was also nice to see the likes of Michael Ironside, Marc McClure, Patrika Darbo and Stuart Pankin in the movie, so there were some familiar faces on the cast list.
Visually then "The Vagrant" was an okay enough movie. There were some special effects, that did actually work out well enough. Luckily the movie was not one heavily dependent on special effects though.
While I did manage to sit through director Chris Walas's 1992 movie, then this is not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.
My rating of "The Vagrant" lands on a four out of ten stars.
