Sinister, comical, aggravating, and audacious, Calvin Lee Reeder's film is nothing short of an affront.

Bursting with cheap f/x, the pic is often tedious when not repugnant, but it’s hard to dislike.

It's a handsome nothing, at least until you get sick of the screaming.

The Rambler...feels like a slender plot with additional scenes pasted on.

Plot details turn out to be secondary to the cheap visual effects and abundant gore that Reeder frequently manages to incorporate by taking the narrative on some inexplicable and queasily violent detours. Overall, performances are just perfunctory enough to convey the concept of acting.
