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.

An ugly and frequently hilarious descent into all things repellent, the debut feature from director Jim Hosking plants itself firmly in a world of filth and shock.

This was just downright hilarious, very few movies have made me laugh as hard as that. Definitely don't think about it or take it seriously, just watch. If you have a bit of a dark or sick sense of humor you'll love it. "Square" people definitely won't like this.

Hosking has a keen eye for this type of cringeworthy comedy, as evidenced by every scene going on 30 seconds longer than it should, and enhanced by over-the-top, cartoony violence. But is The Greasy Strangler a contender for cult classic status? I guess that’s a question for the ages.

Pure uncompromising yuckiness is what this comedy delivers. A grossout smack in the face. Deplorable. Unspeakable. Often funny.

The Greasy Strangler is a perverted fever dream that will please few audiences, but those who enjoy it are in for one f*#ked up treat.

It aims for John Waters-style transgression without evincing half of Waters’s wit and affection for eccentric lifestyles.

The best thing about The Greasy Strangler: that title. The worst thing about The Greasy Strangler: everything that follows that title.

It's a peculiar movie to describe to someone. It's parts horror movie, dark comedy, and a Tim & Eric skit that never made it to air. Movies like this are great.

Great for getting your friends out of their comfort zone, And really good weird movie that I am sure you will never forget and the music still sticks in my mind, Grease is life
