Some Guy Who Kills People is a 2012 American comedy-drama-horror film directed by Jack Perez and written by Ryan Levin.This film is about Ken Boyd (Kevin Corrigan), a guy who is not long out of a mental hospital who is working at an ice-cream/burger parlor. The people that put him in the mental hospital start turning up dead, killed in horrific ways. He finds out he has a daughter while at the same time that these killings are happening in the town. Meanwhile the local Sheriff (Barry Bostwick) is going out with Ken's mom (Karen Black) and he starts to suspect that Ken is the killer. All the evidence is pointing that way, and Ken's estranged daughter catches him in a compromising position. It's not looking good for Ken. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
| Some Guy Who Kills People / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: The killer. He kills a Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up who tortured his best friend Ken in high school and is continuing to bully him as an adult. He kills several other people who bullied Ken and are still cruel as adults while enjoying each death even more than the last. By the end of the movie, he has his and Ken's Mean Boss (although not too mean) tied up in a closet to torture and is reluctantly prepared to kill Ken's daughter so she can't testify against him. | |

Calling Card | |
| Some Guy Who Kills People / int_1cd602ef | comment |
Calling Card: The killer leaves cryptic clues on the bodies of the victims, and initially the sheriff cannot work out what they mean. However, once he discovers the connections between the victims, he realizes the clues relate to their numbers on the high school basketball team (an ace and king playing cards for no. 21, a V carved into his chest for no. 5, etc.). | |

Birds of a Feather: Downplayed, but Stephanie's attraction to Ken is helped by how they're both outsiders in a sense. He's a former mental patient and she's a lonely, divorced English expat. | |

I Never Said It Was Poison | |
| Some Guy Who Kills People / int_4aaffbd5 | comment |
I Never Said It Was Poison: The inverted form. Sheriff Fuller is convinced Ken is making a False Confession, and talks to him about the notes the killer sent: saying he found the one reading "I am a monster" particularly chilling. Ken says "Thank you", and Fuller then tells him that there never was a note reading that. The "I am a monster" note was from the 'Son of Sam' case. | |

Wham Shot: When the Sheriff goes to get one last beer from the fridge after he and Ruth are about to break up because he had to arrest her son, he sees a mural made from newspaper clippings that Amy made on the refrigerator. He realizes that's why there were cut-up papers like the ones the killer used for his Cut-and-Paste Note, and that the signs that have been making him and the audience think Ken is guilty are misleading. | |

Clueless Deputy: Sheriff Fuller's head deputy Ernie. Arriving at the first crime scene, where the victim has a hatchet buried in his skull, the sheriff makes a comment about having 'a splitting headache'. Thinking the sheriff as making a pun, Ernie proceeds to make a Hurricane of Puns about axes, to the sheriff's growing bewilderment. And, according to the sheriff, his other two deputies are even worse (they can't even properly surround a crime scene with tape). | |

False Confession: Ken doesn't exactly confess to the murders, but he offers no defence either, because he is Not Used to Freedom and being sent back to the asylum is looking pretty inviting to him.
