SOME GUY WHO KILLS PEOPLE (Anchor Bay, 2011) D: Jack Perez, w/ Kevin Corrigan, Ariel Gade. Rating: NNN DVD package: NNN Rating: NNN
This feel-good movie is loaded with father-daughter bonding, an awkward romance, the power of friendship and a masked maniac with a taste for big blades and decapitation.
Kevin Corrigan is effectively menacing as Ken, who’s back home after a long stretch in the loony bin and can’t handle the stress of meeting the 11-year-old daughter (Ariel Gade) he didn’t know he had or some romantic interest from a woman (Lucy Davis) almost as awkward as he. All three are funny and touching, but comedy honours go to Barry Bostwick, whose sheriff simultaneously channels Airplane and Twin Peaks.
The commentary and making-of doc provide useful tips on low-budget filmmaking. And check out the very funny short film.
