Greasy Strangler, The

Comedy, Horror, Thriller

Ronnie runs a Disco walking tour with his son, Brayden. When a sexy woman takes the tour, it begins a competition between father and son for her love. It also signals the arrival of an oily strangler who stalks the streets at night.

The critical consensus

Outrageous oddity from debut director Jim Hosking that has to be seen to be believed.

(*) Katherine McLaughlin, The List, 03/10/2016

If you can take the assault on your senses it’s worth sticking with for a core of genuine, affecting drama and dollops of sly, quotable humour.

(*) Kim Newman, Empire Online, 03/10/2016

Jim Hosking’s US-set feature debut, about a serial killer who smears his naked body in cooking fat before committing murders, is revolting and funny.

(*) (*) Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 07/10/2016

Gaudy outfits, copious nudity and repetitive jokes are the order of the day in this mind-numbing oddity.

(*) (*) (*) (*) Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 07/10/2016

A film with literally no redeeming features.
