Here’s some news on an upcom­ing indie flick worth look­ing out for: Some Guy Who Kills People recently debuted its first trailer online and it looks very promis­ing.  This blend of indie com­edy and splat-happy hor­ror was exec­u­tive pro­duced by John Landis and directed by Jack Perez, a friend of Schlockmania who has carved a mem­o­rably off­beat career as a film­maker over the last few decades.  Perez has directed every­thing from episodic t.v. (the pilot for Xena: Warrior Princess) to camp clas­sics (the meme-tastic Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus)  to award-winning indie fare (La Cucaracha).

Some Guy Who Kills People focuses on Ken (Kevin Corrigan), a man who entered a men­tal insti­tu­tion at a young age after being dri­ven over the edge by a gang of youth­ful tor­men­tors.  He leaves the insti­tu­tion as a grown-up and returns home, where he dis­cov­ers that his neme­ses have grown older but not kinder.  From there, it’s best to let the trailer do the talk­ing so check out the embed­ded video below…

As the trailer illus­trates, the story has an inter­est­ing sen­si­bil­ity, shift­ing from an indie com­edy style about a schlub try­ing to fit in to a darker, horror-tinged black com­edy that isn’t afraid to punc­tu­ate its gags with a dose of the red stuff.  And get a load of that cast: Kevin Corrigan gets a rare lead­ing role and has Barry Bostwick, Karen Black, Lucy Davis and Leo Fitzpatrick back­ing him up.  Definitely seems to be some­thing worth look­ing out for…
