Best movie of this year hands down!

Fantastic!

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is a movie that in no way takes it self seriously. The plot is farcical, the actors over play there parts and the direction is over done. The result is pure cult. Its a shame that this movie is not available on DVD. Bill Paxton plays a yuppie 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 and most people who have seen it would call it, Unique.

At times, I was wishing that Bruce Campbell played Bill Paxton's part. But I do like a good dose of the Paxton when I can get it, and I definitely got a different kind of role from him in this movie. Not the greatest thing in the world, but it definitely reminded me of something that would make a great short story or novella. Especially with the degrees of paranoia exhibited by Paxton's character. Also, it felt as if the writer didn't know where to take such a simple premise so it kind of goes all over the place for the second half. The movie starts in one area and ends in another. No real direction. But the back story was nice. For a film of this caliber, I wasn't expecting any reasoning.It's also good to see Ironside and Bell in something together beyond Total Recall.

What was this? A comedy? No, I don't think so. Usually comedies will have humorous scenes, this movie has exactly one that earned a chuckle(the aforementioned cops and urination bit). A horror movie? Nope, usually horror movies will evoke some kind of feeling of dread or fear. A bum popping up to yell boo doesn't qualify. A psychological thriller? Nope, thrillers will leave you guessing and this one plays its hand far too early.Bill Paxton seems like a nut job from the beginning so his descent into madness is no big change. What was up with him driving his car off a cliff and in the very next scene gassing it up like nothing was wrong? This was nothing more than a z-grade bottom filler that should be avoided.

Corny... YES.... Cheesy... YES...Still, this movie is highly entertaining. After renting it one day just for the sheer hell of it, I was dying of laughter!! I bought it the very next day! Paxton's comedic skills shine here, in what is a TRUE black comedy... If you are looking for something out of the ordinary to watch, with the potential to floor you with laughter, this is the movie for you! Low budget and all, it is definite entertainment!Enjoy!
