NSFW: ‘The Greasy Strangler’ Trailer is the Most WTF Thing You’ll See Today

Hell, it might even be the most “what the fuck” thing you’ll have seen so far this year. I don’t know you, I don’t know your life, I just know that this trailer is all sorts of messed up!

Okay, let me introduce you to The Greasy Strangler, a new film from director Jim Hosking (The ABC’s of Death 2) which stars Michael St. Michaels, Sky Elobar, and Elizabeth De Razzo. I don’t really know how to describe it other than it clearly is taking a page from John Waters a lá Pink Flamingos.

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.’

Produced by Timpson Films (Turbo Kid, Deathgasm), Drafthouse Films, and Elijah Wood’s production company SpectreVision (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Cooties), The Greasy Strangler is hitting limited theaters and VOD on October 7th.

The HIGHLY NSFW trailer can be seen below.

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

Published

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
