Ken Boyd (Kevin Corrigan) seems like a regular guy in a regular dead-end job. However, while the job -ice cream parlor server / mascot- is awful, Ken himself has a terrible secret. He's haunted by a nightmarish incident from his past, when a group of town thugs put him through a torturous hell. Now, years later, these same goons start dying in gruesome ways.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Walt Fuller (Barry Bostwick) and his officers are on the case. In the midst of all this, someone enters Ken's life whom he never expected to see. Her name is Amy (Ariel Gade). She's pint-sized and about to change Ken's life forever.
SOME GUY WHO KILLS PEOPLE is a smart, wickedly funny, and refreshing take on the cat-and-mouse / serial killer / revenge movie. It works as a black comedy, a murder mystery, and, believe it or not, a touching father / daughter film! It has its poignant moments, which even tugged at this stone heart!
Corrigan is perfectly deadpan as the title character, and Ms. Gade provides the sunlight for an otherwise darkly comedic story. Bostwick makes a great, bumbling lawman, and Karen Black plays Ken's mom, Ruth, with her usual ease and grace. Lucy Davis takes on the part of Ken's suitably bewildered girlfriend.
A definite keeper...
