The Greasy Strangler its obviously trying its hardest to be the new bizarre cult film, it takes inspiration from every film that has filthiness, most notably John Waters films, but The Greasy Strangler manages to feel like its own thing.
The film its heavy on the filth department, giving us some of the craziest scenes in recent weird film history, but its not really all that gory or exploitative in nature, its grossness comes from its characters and their surroundings, it isn't necessarily gross but they way they act makes it gross.
The film may bore some audiences with some of its anti-humor, or even its grossness but I found it to be mostly entertaining and riveting. The film uses its absurdity in a way that makes you laugh at points were there isn't something funny going on, it may not be for everyone.
The music its fantastic, it helps to create the atmosphere that the film tries to evoke. The special effects are really good for this kind of film, at first I believed that they will be cheap and cheesy, like in a Troma film, but the effects turned out to be decent for this kind of film.
Overall, its definitely not a film for everyone but for those who seek for a bizarre gross film that may even make them want to vomit, if that's the case this film its for you, its very decently made and it has a value to it.
