I have an apple. I have a pen(is). UH. Greasy Strangler. Kind of like Napoleon Dynamite, but substitutes ND's quirkiness for a 60-year-old man's penis, ND's novelty for a 60-year-old man's penis, ND's wit for a 60-year-old man's penis, ND's charm for a 60-year-old man's penis, ND's Pedro for a 60-year-old man's penis, and ND's alpaca for a 60-year-old man's penis. Competent cinematography, though. Very competent. Penis.

It’s pretty much exactly what I expected from John Travolta’s hairdresser. You either have to be super confident with yourself or have zero self awareness to attempt recommending this to someone.

Walk Out: The Movie. I'm utterly ashamed to have this in my streaming history, and I sat through The Beast.

Strangely hypnotic, this over-the-top bizarre stupid comedy is oozing with a disgusting charm. Full of weird sex and gross-out humor, that rides the line between trying-too-hard and strangely sincere makes this movie a unique viewing experience recommended for no one and everyone.

Tim and Eric work their vision in large part due to novelty. When they stretch a skit to 5 minutes it feels like a lifetime. This movie is a skit stretched even further. 20 years ago this might have been camp weirdness but today it was overdone before it was released. Just watch 'The Room' again.

This is the weirdest movie I've watched. Ever. The Greasy Strangler mixes trash, horror and soft porn in a refreshing, yet gross way. While it's definitely no intellectually challenging watch it's surprisingly fun if you don't get too offended by fart jokes and old men's wieners or naked bodies in general. It does have its less exciting moments, but all in all I recommend it to trash fans and bullshit artists alike. Best to watch when not sober I guess.

I feel violated. With its legitimate effort in everything, including the bad acting, it's oddly hypnotising and I don't regret watching it. It's the Pink Flamingos for the 21st century.

Technically the film is well produced & achieves what it sets out to achieve. But what is that? We have a kind of weird that is impossible to be offensive, yet it is without context, very offensive. The context, to confuse the audience further, is offensive itself, a sleazy reality painted around purposely vapid yet sexually explicit characters. I get a John Waters vibe w/ the run down settings, overuse of sexual imagery & the employ of amateur actors...Also there is a father/ son love triangle.

Specifically designed not just to subvert the language of cinema, but to make a mockery of itself by its abuse of it - Hosking's film is nothing if not provocative. Most will agree that the joke wears too thin, the plot is insubstantial and this gimmick is not enough to make a film out of. Those people are wrong, and the film does eventually become hilarious on some level - a very greasy, fake-schlong-wearing, "hooty tooty disco cutie"-chanting level you never expected. Impeccable casting.

Why I thought I might enjoy this is beyond me, I'm beginning to think I don't even know myself anymore. Thanks a lot Greasy Strangler

Grease-obsessed Ronnie (Michael St. Michaels, wonderfully horrid) conducts bogus disco walking tours with his childish son Brayden (Sky Elobar) and cakes himself with lard to become the Strangler, killing those who upset him. When Brayden falls in love with Janet (Elizabeth De Razzo), Ronnie isn't about to make it easy for either of them. Utterly committed to its grotesque aesthetic, for those who can stomach it (and overlook the repetitious humor and weak ending), it should be a sick delight.

Somehow manages to be utterly vile but weirdly charming at the same time. I've no idea who this movie was targeted at, but I guess I fall into the target demographic. I'm torn. I couldn't honestly recommend this movie to anyone, but at the same time I want everyone to see it because it's the most unique cinematic experience of 2016.

An awful Tim & Eric skit stretched out to 93 minutes, whose sole raison d'être is to cement Midnight Madness status through sheer revulsion and gross-out, absurdist 'comedy.' Truly awful shit.

PENIS, FART, GREASE, CURSE, repeat endlessly. Somewhat amusing, extremely low-brow entertainment. The entire movie is built around a five minute gimmick which turns into a problem when it drags on for 90 minutes. Camp movies are great and I strongly support them, but once they hit the sixty-minute mark, it's always time to wrap it up. I have not decided yet how I feel about purposely made camp. It just seems too easy.

I scored this this high, but other people I watched this with scored it as low as a 5/100. I think that's what's particularly exciting about The Greasy Strangler. You never know what the reaction of the next person will be. It's absolutely insane. If Tim and Eric were never said no to. God, I had a great time and laughed my ass off all the way through, but don't my score as a guarantee you will. The very definition of not for everyone.

WTF?!?! I thought I was starting to figure out this movie, but then the ending made no sense. One of the most unique movies I've ever seen. The world building is simply fantastic, and that's in spite of how disgusting certain parts are. Other than the wonderfully idiosyncratic universe, Elizabeth De Razzo was the highlight. Her character and performance were a fantastic sort of bright counter balance in a love triangle consisting of her, the domineering father, and his ineffectual son.

Probably one of the worst cases of pacing in a movie I've ever seen. This would be a really bad movie, (and it still kind of is) if it weren't for the insanity and obscenity smothering the movie at every turn. Greasy Strangler has enough merits just based on the costumes, lines and new ways it manages to be disgusting. But it's still boring at times.

The pacing is really off but I think it's intentional, because everything else here is off as well. The film never takes the audience by the hand which can be tiring, but otherwise it would lose some of its weirdness. Some great moments can be found in The Greasy Strangler. Just think of the dancing scene. And I also loved all of the disgusting stuff.

Very early '10s. The humour is strange (and certainly funny), but oftentimes not self-servingly zany -- the romantic triangle that forms here, although we've seen in a million films before, eventualises as something very strange and peculiar, all the while leading to a conclusion for father and son embracing their primitiveness. Some comedy moments go on too long, but this enjoyably subversive "horror" film actually seems thoughtful beyond its crassness.

I mean, I think the filmmakers definitely succeeded in making the film they sought out to make. And I did chuckle 2 or 3 times. But almost all of the humor is either just gross out or the adult-humor-esque bizarreness that doesn't actually amount to comedy.
