The Los Angeles-set tale follows Ronnie, a man who runs a Disco Walking tour along with his browbeaten son, Brayden. When a sexy, alluring woman comes to take the tour, it begins a competition between father and son for her attentions. It also signals the appearance of an oily, slimy inhuman maniac who stalks the streets at night and strangles the innocent, soon dubbed ‘The Greasy Strangler.’
“Gross, hilarious, and absolutely uncompromising, [The Greasy Strangler] has to be experienced to be believed.” – Consequence of Sound
“Disgusting, deviant and pleasurably weird at heart. If Barton Fink was made by John Waters, this is the sort of movie he’d write.” – Indiewire’s The Playlist
“A welcome oasis of filth, depravity and shock, [The Greasy Strangler] carries a playfulness that should inspire glorious, “what the f*ck?” huzzahs from the sort of people who wish John Waters would make movies like Desperate Living and Pink Flamingoes again.” – The Guardian
“Fearless, explicit and over the top, The Greasy Strangler doesn’t short change us in the “WTF” department … Uproariously and often disturbingly funny.” – The Film Stage
The Guild Cinema is located at 3405 Central Avenue NE, in the Nob Hill area.
