Storyline

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.'

User Reviews

Probably the most awful film I've watched in a long time.

I actually gave this movie a lot of thought, because it's so incredibly bad right from the opening scene that you know no film maker could possibly make a film so bad, unless they did it deliberately. So, out of ideas, and out of inspiration, someone came up with a cunning plan: they'd make a movie so incredibly awful that it would eventually become a cult and would actually make money. I am fairly sure that there are some people out there who like cult films simply because they want to be part of something that isn't mainstream, and thereby look different and daring. They never care that the movie is abominable, just that they will find a like-minded group of people and finally achieve a sense of belonging that they've been waiting for. In that sense if this movie actually brings meaning to peoples' lives by extending their social network to others like them, then that's good. To the other 99.9% of the population seriously...don't even embarrass yourself by watching it.
