This Is Horror

The Cutting Room: The Greasy Strangler

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.

Why we’re looking forward to this: Every now and again a film comes along that defies explanation, and director Jim Hosking’s The Greasy Strangler is such a movie. Starring Michael St. Michaels, Sky Elobar, and Elizabeth De Razzo, the trailer suggests that this may well be the most messed up horror/comedy/love triangle story to grace the big or small screen in, well, quite possibly forever.

Sometime mere words don’t do a trailer justice, so we here at This Is Horror suggest that you take a look yourselves—though definitely not at work—and see what you think.

The Greasy Strangler is released on 7 October.
