WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

An elderly man named Ronnie (Michaels) runs a disco walking tour with his adult son Brayden (Elobar), but both men end up competing for the affections of an alluring woman (De Razzo) that crosses their paths. On top of that, an oily and inhuman serial killer dubbed the “Greasy Strangler” arrives on the scene, one who might have a more personal connection between the two men…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The Greasy Strangler is perhaps the weirdest, most disgusting, and even the funniest horror film you could possibly see all year, one that is already earning a cult status among film fans.
