Interesteg What makes it different from others?
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
bowmanblue If you can ignore the slightly cheesy title, you'll find this is actually one of those rare hidden gems of films. It crosses many genres. It can go from grisly serial-killer flick to touching family drama in a matter of scenes, plus it throws in a good few black comedy moments (mainly courtesy of the Sheriff's dry humour).It's about a man who's recently been released from state psychiatric care (or simply 'the loonie bin' as he keeps referring to it). He lives with his mother and gets a low-key job in an ice cream parlour. However, when he's not serving up cherries on sundaes, he's gruesomely hacking to bits a pack of high school bullies who he blames for putting him into care.He seems quite content with this until one day, by accident, he literally bumps into his long lost daughter who, in turn, seems to take HIM under her wing and invoke a daddy-daughter reunion. Not only is the film both violent and touching, but it also manages to do something that few films can, i.e. have a child actor that you actually like. His daughter is both brash and yet endearing and the young actress is certainly going to be one to watch in the future.If your sense of humour leans towards the 'black side' you should enjoy watching the various relationships rise and fall. If you can stomach a small amount of gore and blood you will be rewarded with a funny and touching experience.
adi_2002 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".
siderite I like Kevin Corrigan. He has played in over 100 movies and TV shows and I instantly recognize his face as he has that weird, yet cool look. As the protagonist of this here film, he is perfect, with just the right amount of creepy and nice to not know where the coin is going to drop. His daughter is also well interpreted by Ariel Gade, even if she has that annoying role of the teenager who, based on her experience, thinks she can get away with anything. You then understand my frustration with the ending, which introduces a ridiculous twist and turns the entire premise to crap.Just having watched God Bless America and Hobo with a Shotgun, I thought a movie entitled Some Guy Who Kills People is the natural continuation. If you thought the same, let me dispel that thought. The movie is nothing like that. Instead deals with feelings of alienation, friendship, guilt and some pretty weird, but ultimately decent people.To sum it up, this is a good movie. Some people might even like the ending. I obviously didn't and I think it ruined the entire film, but one can still dream around it, even so. The performance of the actors is very good, the atmosphere is nice, the little town feel is strong and irritating, which empowers the plot. It is worth viewing.
huntercym This movie has quickly made it to my top 10 list. It is a dark comedy that is surprisingly touching. Ken Boyd (Kevin Corrigan) is a man recently released from the "looney bin" and is now trying to adjust to life on the outside while those around him, that have wronged him in his past, start to mysteriously die.Barry Bostwick is just delightful, he steals ever scene he is in as Sheriff Fuller. Kevin Corrigan and Karen Black also play their respective roles extremely well. Black will make you appreciate your own mother.This movie will offer many laughs and still satisfy your need to see people killed.
