Vomit-Inducing Red-Band Teaser Trailer for THE GREASY STRANGLER
Earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, I attempted to watch a movie called The Greasy Strangler. I couldn’t sit through the whole thing because it was one of the most nauseating and vile films that I’ve tried to watch. I've only walked out of three films in my life, and this was one of them. I wrote a first impression review/rant of it and an explanation of why I walked out of it that you can read here if you want. Normally I enjoy strange, odd, and unique films, but this one just rubbed me in all the wrong way in all the wrong places.
The first very red-band teaser trailer has been released for the film, and it pretty much represents everything that I hated about what I saw in this movie. I’m sure people are going to watch the film out of curiosity. It’s the kind of film that will gain a cult following over the years. This movie just wasn’t for me. I’ll let the film speak for itself when you watch the trailer. Here's the synopsis for the film:
This 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 named Janet comes to take the tour, it begins a competition between father and son for her attentions. It also brings about the appearance of an oily, slimy, inhuman maniac who stalks the streets at night and strangles the innocent—soon dubbed “the Greasy Strangler.”
The movie was directed by Jim Hosking and stars Michael St. Michaels, Sky Elobar, and Elizabeth De Razzo. Elijah Wood’s production company SpectreVision produced the film. The movie is set to be released in October. What you are about to see cannot be unseen, so watch at your own risk.
