SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved The Greasy Strangler, try these.

The Happiness of the Katakuris poster 01

Movie / 2001 / Horror / Comedy / Drama

The Happiness of the Katakuris

Why this pick

Its dysfunctional family, cheerfully tasteless musical detours, abrupt genre shifts, and gleeful bodily grotesquerie echo the anarchic, anything-can-happen comic logic of The Greasy Strangler.

The Lobster poster 02

Movie / 2015 / Drama / Romance / Science Fiction

The Lobster

Why this pick

For the same pleasure in unnervingly flat performances and a bizarre social universe treated as perfectly normal, this is a drier, more controlled kind of absurdist discomfort.

Bad Boy Bubby poster 03

Movie / 1993 / Crime / Drama / Comedy

Bad Boy Bubby

Why this pick

A profoundly strange, abrasive outsider comedy with deliberately disorienting performances and an innocent-but-unsettling central figure; it shares the cult-film willingness to push bad taste into surreal territory.

The Dark Backward poster 04

Movie / 1991 / Comedy

The Dark Backward

Why this pick

This filthy, low-rent nightmare comedy turns show-business desperation into grotesque body horror, matching the scrappy texture and proudly repellent humor of The Greasy Strangler.

Mandy poster 05

Movie / 2018 / Action / Horror / Thriller

Mandy

Why this pick

Less comic but similarly feverish, it offers neon-saturated cult-movie excess, outsized weirdos, and a commitment to an unreal visual and sonic atmosphere over conventional realism.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Big Ronnie runs a disco-themed walking location tour in his town, alongside his son Big Brayden. Ronnie allows Brayden to live with him on the condition that Brayden prepares excessively greasy food for him. Ronnie is a Pathological lying who fabricates stories about disco groups like Bee Gees, as well as his supposed friendship with Michael Jackson. Brayden aspires to be a Science fantasy author. Ronnie asserts that Brayden drove his mother away, though Brayden says that she left Ronnie for a man named Ricky Prickles. Ronnie and Brayden frequently call each other "bullshit artists".
