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.'

Weird Movie

I wouldn't call this a good movie, but I think I can attribute that to personal taste. The acting is purposefully terrible, and there is an overabundance of gross-out humor, if that sounds like your wheelhouse you'll probably laugh a lot. I personally though, don't like that type of thing so I didn't have a good time with this film. I didn't like the CGI used when people were murdered, really took me out of the movie. I like weird films, but only if they are weird for a reason, this movie is just being weird for weirdness's sake alone, and while it's admirable I can't really recommend it to others.
