Truly Dreadful Film

Simply A Masterpiece

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Ken works at a ice cream shop and lives with his mother. Things changes when some crimes are committed and soon her daughter makes her appearance. He now must confront with a terrible past that can not forget when he was mocked by some peers, a little girl that comes in his life unexpected after eleven years, his job and the killings that have place in the little town. He has some dates with Stephanie a costumer from the shop where he works but it seems that he can handle a relationship at this time. Only the energy of life from Amy can make him forget about the problems that he has. But in doesn't take long until she leaves from his house when he think he saw him near a dead body and she thinks that maybe he is the perpetrator. The police manages to put pieces together and finds out who is the murderer.I delayed this one mostly because of the name, it sounded like it was going to be real bad but the movie is almost reasonable. The bad part? The stupid jokes that Sheriff Walt along with his deputy makes at the dead bodies found, the ridiculous black humor that the mother has, the killings were too gory, the blood scattered all around like the water from a garden hose. Nevertheless the story saves a little the film along with the fact that with a low budget came up something so "cute".

This movie totally surprised me in a good way. With the name of the movie, I thought that this was going to be one of those movies. Yeah, you know the kind I am talking about. Boy was I surprised when this movie was finished.Despite having a super cheesy named, "Some Guy Who Kills People", then the movie really had a great storyline and it was really nicely executed. Plus the characters in the movie were really interesting, vibrant and full of personalities. And of course, the great cast really helped moving the movie along nicely.The story is about socially-challenged Ken Boyd (played quite well by Kevin Corrigan) who has been released from a mental institution, and he is now living in a small rural community. Having been bullied by a bunch of people, Ken plans for the demise of his tormentors. Unforeseen, his estranged daughter shows up in his life after 11 years, and Ken is now also struggling to coming to terms with being a father."Some Guy Who Kills People" does have a great list of actors and actresses to its credit. As mentioned above, then Kevin Corrigan really did a great job in portraying the main character. And his daughter, played by Ariel Gade, really brought a lot of charisma and merriment to the movie. It was also great to see Barry Bostwick and Karen Black in their respective roles.This is the type of movie that lets you slip into the storyline alongside the characters, because they are so nicely portrayed and have a lot of depth to their personalities. You quickly form bonds with characters and get carried away into the movie.The movie is so wonderfully absurd and twisted that it is actually fun and a great treat to watch. The director, Jack Perez, really handled the balance between comedy and horror so well, and made it work so great, and the end result is a rather enjoyable movie that most likely will surprise most viewers.If you haven't seen "Some Guy Who Kills People" yet, then you should treat yourself to it, because it is well worth a watch.

Do you like horror, comedy, and triple fudge chunk? I certainly do and "Some Guy Who Kills People" delivers that and so much more with it's witty writing and exhilarating cast. Jack Perez has done a fantastic job directing this fantastic horror gem, with the audience wondering throughout, "did he?" or "didn't he?" Kevin Corrigan is a great lead and Barry Bostwick's one liners kill it. I have to also say to that being from Wisconsin, seeing our own Eric Price was a pleasant surprise. I have been more than happy to tell friends about this movie because it has found a special place in my heart and my already booming movie collection. Movie fans of all genres will enjoy this movie.

The title suggests a simple parody, but the truth is that Some Guy Who Kills People has higher narrative ambitions, defying classification by combining drama, comedy and horror in a satisfactory and hugely entertaining screenplay, complemented by perfect direction and solid performances. I wish we could find more movies like this in the "indie" universe.It's not the first film to attempt something like it, but Some Guy Who Kills People is one of the ones which best achieve putting us on the same side of the killer, showing his crimes not as a simple catharsis, but as the last resource from a frail spirit who was destroyed by injustices through his life. Kevin Corrigan's performance (the fans of the TV series Community -like me- will surely remind him as Proffesor Professorson in that memorable episode about conspiracies) overflows warmth and humanity, and makes us wish that his character will find the internal force and motivation to overcome his traumas and find the happiness. Sure, he's killing people and we might not agree with his bloody methods, but the central subject of the film isn't revenge, but redemption.All this would be too somber if it weren't because of the healthy doses of humor which accompany the drama and the violence, bringing a likable and accessible atmosphere which doesn't take itself very seriously, but which doesn't self-exonerate because of the main character's moral ambiguity. As I previously said, the emphasis isn't on the deaths nor on the jokes, but on the characters development, and I'm glad to say that screenwriter Ryan A. Levin built them with an amazing precision employing stereotypes which are easy to assimilate (the likable loser, the possessive mother, the stupid policeman), but adorning them with finely worked details, and as a consequence, they come alive and feel like living people. And the fact that the characters are perfectly written is complemented by the excellent performances from the whole cast. My only complaint against this film comes from the final twist; it ties the loose ends and it takes us to a satisfactory ending, but some details from it feel kinda convenient.Nevertheless, the biggest twist from Some Guy Who Kills People comes from director Jack Perez. His work in this film is brilliant, because he could perfectly handle the dramatic scenes, the funny moments and the killing parts. It's difficult to imagine that Perez was previously responsible of atrocities such as MegaShark Vs. Giant Octopus or Monster Island. So, in conclusion, I think Some Guy Who Kills People is worthy of an enthusiastic recommendation for being a surprisingly excellent film full of positive elements.
