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.

Terry begins terrorizing her over the phone and in person. This is a severely fucked-up little movie; small in scope, but high in dementia. And it's a credit to Harrington's talent that he can take a relatively straightforward story, drench it with thoroughly twisted characters, yet keep it all rooted in a very tangible reality.
