THE GREASY STRANGLER

Jim Hosking is an incredibly singular film artist. His works are for those who prefer their provocations grimy, unpredictable and full of goo. But somehow this guy maintains an emotional, even empathetic approach to his sleazy characters living in ruins. Blending the oily atmosphere of Adam Rifkin’s THE DARK BACKWARD, the rubbery insanity of Jerry Lewis and a few unique nightmares all his own, Hosking’s THE GREASY STRANGLER is, let’s say, a most assured debut feature. When Big Ronnie and his son Brayden meet female tourist Janet on Big Ronnie's Disco Walking Tour -- the best and only disco walking tour in the city -- a fight for Janet's heart erupts between father and son, and the infamous "Greasy Strangler" is unleashed.
