The Greasy Strangler Audience Reviews

Pluskylang Great Film overall
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Anthony J Buckley Hilarious. Childish brilliance. Grease mongers of the world take heed. Our saviours are here. Oily grapefruit for all! Ever said to yourself "That's not right!" when presented with poorly greased food? Well suffer in silence no longer. It's great to see the greasily afflicted portrayed so well. I can't tell you the amount of times I've absconded with pilfered grease and wanted to see it so artfully brought to life. No longer will the plebs of a greaseless society associate us with racist stereotypes like Groundskeeper Willy, a known bullshit artist! We have true champions of grease in Big Ronnie and Big Brayden.Why tis no easy life being a grease bandit never mind a greasy strangler. These guys get it. My heart goes out to Janet. What a trooper.
Captain Sorearm What a treat it is that this film sits on my shelf, next to Vertigo & There Will Be Blood. Greasy Strangler riffs on so little, but manages to produce a film that is repetitive to the point of memorable. Every day since watching it, I have to call someone a BS artist.The pleasure of first watching this film I can compare to the first time I watched Happiness (Todd Solondz) Just when you think it's going a bit too far, it surpasses your guesses and goes further still. Detractors will say it's easy to be disgusting but let them write a script, film it, edit it and get it out there in cinemas and shops. Well done, those who made Greasy Strangler.A companion piece could be the story of how Elijah Wood and Ben Wheatley became producers for this film. I imagine the script, greasy, slipping through their letterboxes and as they read, they look around their houses, wondering if someone is playing a joke on them.
jennathephotographer I loved this movie. But not at first. At first, my reaction was similar to the other reviews on this page, something to the tune of "What the hell have I gotten myself into??"But toward the end of the movie, I began to remember some of the things I learned while studying film.I believe, and I could be wrong, but I believe the entire movie is a metaphor. Now, for what I can't say, or I would have to use the spoiler tag. What I want to say is this: give the movie a watch, because it's campy and amazing. The costumes are great, the locations and the lighting are well done, and the lines are funny at the very least. If you like Harmony Korine, John Waters, or Napoleon Dynamite (which I didn't, but it didn't stop me from enjoying THIS movie), I would say this movie is for you. If you like art house films, weird movies, or movies with an underlying deeper message (that is pretty wonderful once you look at it that way), you are in for a treat.
jiribloudin One of the worst films ever. In one word: Stupid. In two words: Stupid and Tedious. In three words: Stupid, tedious, and pointless. This anally obsessed, infantile film tries ever so hard to be shocking, gross and outrageous and milk John Waters territory, but Waters' films such as Pink Flamingos and Desperate Living were original for their time, and had charm and humour, and this has neither - anything but. The forced stilted and stylised dialogue and delivery merely irritates, as do the twisted, idiotic characters. A truly stupid, worthless piece of crap with no redeeming value whatsoever.
