The Bastard Love Child Of…Clerks and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer!
Ken Boyd (Kevin Corrigan) has spent the last few years in an asylum, following a nervous breakdown, caused by high school bullying. Now he’s out at last, living with his possessive mother (Karen Black) and trying to rebuild his life with.
Unfortunately, the various Jocks and bullies who caused his breakdown are still out there, mean and macho as ever. Somebody needs to make them pay. In blood.
Grimm’s Eye View: Exec-Produced by the legendary John Landis, directed by the man responsible for Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus and with a truly all-star Cult Cast, this twisted, yet surprisingly sweet-natured black comedy combines gory stalk-and-slash and sick, deadpan dark humour with the kind of gentle, subtly-nuanced study of dead-end lives in Small-Town America that wins awards at Sundance.
Surprisingly likeable characters, pitch-perfect performances, and a sharp script from former Scrubs writer Ryan Levin make this movie a real charmer. But just remember – it’s always the charmers that are the most dangerous!
