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".

Some guy who kills people boasts fantastic camera work, interesting characters and clever writing that will keep you glued to your seat and guessing till the very last scene.There is a Very interesting comedic performance by Barry Bostwik that contrasts delightfully with Kevin Corrigan's subdued and quite unnerving portrayal of loner Ken Boyd. Lucy Davis puts in a delightful performance as the unlikely love interest which adds to the quirkiness of this great little film.All in all a very strong film which manages to temper comedy with slasher horror and keeps you intrigued right up to the very end.

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.

This has to be the worst title the producers could possibly have come up with; someone must have lost a bet. It's a shame because it is really good and very few people will ever see it, unless the word of mouth helps, as happened with Boondock Saints. I reluctantly watched that and ended up loving it.Ken works at an ice cream parlor after being released from a mental hospital. He has nightmares of a hazing type of attack from his high school days. One by one the classmates responsible die horrible deaths. Barry Bostwick is the town sheriff, and he is wise ass who is having a good time with Ken's mother played by Karen Black. She and Bostwick are terrific and sarcastically funny throughout. Ariel Gade is Ken's daughter Amy, and she is an actress to watch out for. The chemistry between her and Kevin Corrigan as Ken, her father, are totally believable. The girl is an absolute natural; never mugging for the camera, as many child actors have a tendency to do.Ken is an outcast living with his mother and spending his spare time drawing sketches. His daughter finds out that he is her biological father and they have an awkward reunion. This is a murder mystery, a comedy, and a sporadically violent family film, all at the same time. Although a bit confused, the acting is so good, I was able to accept some plot holes along the way. Bostwick and Black are funny as hell, and the young Ariel Gade still manages to steal the picture, her potential is unlimited. Ignore the ridiculous title and trust me; try it, you'll like it.
