The premise

A business man buys a house, but he has a hard time trying to get rid of its previous tenant, a dirty bum.

Horror Vault's take

A white-collar everyman lands his dream home only to find the nightmare has already moved in — a repulsive, relentless vagrant who refuses to vacate. What starts as a darkly comic nuisance escalates into full-blown paranoia as the line between legitimate threat and unraveling mind grows dangerously thin. Bill Paxton brings his signature manic energy to a story where the real estate ladder leads somewhere deeply unsettling.
