The plot follows Borgman as he infiltrates the lives of an upper-class family. He arrives at their suburban doorstep, asking for a bath. He is dirty, cryptic, and polite. His arrival acts as a catalyst for the family's unraveling. He doesn't attack them with knives or axes; he attacks their complacency. He installs himself in their garden, then their guest room, slowly dismantling their domestic bliss with a mix of manipulation and perhaps, supernatural influence.

A dark, allegorical Dutch thriller that defies easy genre labels. What begins as a home-invasion drama slowly morphs into a surreal, unsettling fable about class, evil, and societal rot. The titular vagrant, Camiel Borgman, insinuates himself into a wealthy family’s life with chilling, methodical precision. Van Warmerdam uses stillness and off-kilter violence to create constant dread. The film’s strength lies in its ambiguity—never explaining its mythic rules or the characters’ true nature. However, viewers expecting clear narrative resolution may find its third act frustratingly opaque. A masterclass in slow-burn psychological horror for arthouse fans. Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

However, the film explicitly denies the audience the satisfaction of a label. He is not explicitly the Devil, nor is he just a con man. He is an agent of chaos. He is the external force that exposes the rot inside the house.
