Rated ‘G’ for excessive greasiness, the first trailer for Jim Hosking’s (The ABC’s of Death 2) horror-thriller The Greasy Strangler has landed, and it’s definitely not safe for work – maybe not even safe for life.
Starring Michael St. Michaels, Sky Elobar and Elizabeth De Razzo, the surreal and nutty flick enjoyed a premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, garnering more “WTF” reviews than just about any other film on the festival slate. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is something we’ll leave to you.
Set against Los Angeles, it’s Michael St. Michaels that takes point as Big Ronnie, a man who knows a thing or two about the mythical Greasy Strangler – an “oily, slimy inhuman maniac” that stalks the shadows and quite literally beats the innocent to a pulp.
Expect wonderful weirdness in spades when The Greasy Strangler launches across limited theaters and VOD on October 7.
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.’
