I spent a long time looking for this film and it was worth it. It is no ordinary schlock film. It is an intelligent, well acted thriller about a misfit, his mom who is part of his problem and his inability to cope with the world. There isn't much in the way of scares but the tone of the film is suspenseful throughout. There isn't that much gore in the film either but The Killing Kind will still leave a lasting impression. John Savage is a standout in the lead and he gets good support from the women in the cast. It must have been rough for Ann Southern to take on a role that is so unglamorous.
