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

The 1/10 review is correct, there is no reason for this movie to exist...

But I am so, so glad it does exist. It's a very oddball, just plain weird story that can't be explained without spoiling the plot, of which there is little. If you dare to see this film, expect a very awkward experience with lots of full frontal male and female nudity (the male are prosthetics and the woman has an enormous bush) and the most bizarre sense of humor since Napoleon Dynamite and They Came Together. You probably won't like this movie, unless you're willing to just suffer through a barrage of awkward pauses, repeated lines, and just stupid sex scenes that should have you in stitches. If you think this is really a horror, you're not expecting the right thing at all.
