The Greasy Strangler

Although I was entertained for the most part, it’s hard not to see that this movie desperately wants to be a John Waters film. It (fortunately) isn’t as shocklingly gross as a Waters movie, but it also lacks a bit of the heart of Waters. These are just nasty characters with no humanity (or clothes). All the while it’s just trying oh so hard to be a cult film. Still, it’s quite funny in the exploitative way of a Tim & Eric sketch.
