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.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
