Coming up with an original concept for a slasher film these days is an impossibility. So what can a budding filmmaker with an itch for violent deaths and twist endings do to make his project stand out from the rest of the Scream clones? Director Jack Perez decided to meld his gore-fest with a tween coming-of-age story. The result is a rather unique indie-flavored little film entitled Some Guy Who Kills People.

Ken Boyd (Kevin Corrigan) is fresh out of a mental institute. He's trying to put his grim past behind him, but the kids who sent him to the loony bin still enjoy tormenting him. Ken's best friend (Leo Fitzpatrick) gets him a job at the local ice cream shop. He soon begins a relationship with an English girl (Lucy Davis) new to town. At the same time, he finds out he has a daughter (Ariel Gade). Things get...

It started with a tweet. I have no idea who put said tweet in my feed, but in that feed there was a trailer for a film that sounded so vague that admittedly my curiosity was piqued. The name? Some Guy Who Kills People.

Written by Ryan Levin, directed by Jack Perez and starring Kevin Corrigan, Some Guy Who Kills People tells the story of Ken Boyd, a lonely man fresh out of the loony bin who sets out to kill those he deems responsible for his miserable life.

Using the powers of Twitter, I reached out to writer Ryan Levin and this is what happened...

Crix: Where did the idea for Sgwkp come about?

Ryan Levin: The idea came from a short film I made in 2007 called “The Fifth,” in which a group of buddies hang out, play poker and shoot the shit about their jobs. One of the guys,...

As part of our continuing coverage of the 2011 Screamfest La Film Festival, we chatted with Ryan A. Levin, the writer and producer of one of the fest's selections, the feature Some Guy Who Kills People, and got the lowdown on the horror-comedy, which is set for its Screamfest premiere on Friday, October 21st, at 10:00 pm.

Written by Levin and produced by him and John Landis, Michael Wormser and Micah Goldman with directorial duties handled by Jack Perez, Some Guy Who Kills People stars prolific actor Kevin Corrigan, Barry Bostwick, genre vet Karen Black, Ariel Gade, Lucy Davis ("Reaper") and Leo Fitzpatrick. It revolves around "Ken Boyd (Corrigan), who, fresh out of the loony bin, returns to his small hometown to seek revenge on those he deems responsible for ruining his life. However, his plans are complicated when his estranged daughter shows up, looking to bond with her father, and...

Yesterday morning we brought you first word on Some Guy Who Kills People, a new film being executive produced by horror legend John Landis (An American Werewolf in London). Today we exclusively learned that Jack Perez (Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, Wild Things 2) will be getting behind the camera to bring Ryan Levin's ("Scrubs", I'm In The Band, The Fifth -- a short film that screened at over 60 film festivals worldwide, winning Best Short Film at Fantasia Fest, Fantastic Fest, Dead by Dawn and Dragon*Con) screenplay to life. In addition, we got more details, which sound pretty kickass: "The film is a horror-comedy about a lonely, small-town loser who sets out to kill each of the men he deems responsible for his miserable life." Shooting begins mid-January. Michael Wormser & Micah Goldman (Penance, Fox pilot "Tease") and Ryan Levin all produce.

Remember the short The Fifth about a poker game between some pretty rough characters? We sure do. It was dark. It was witty. It was very well acted. We loved it.

Now his series about a vulgar stoat who's paid his dues in the joint, Benny, Escaped Convict, has been picked up by Comedy Central. We think you'll like it, even though it makes us blush like a ladies book club confronted with the secretions of an excited ermine.

Here it is, enjoy.

Plus here's your chance to become friends with a vulgar stoat via Facebook.
