The Greasy Strangler

Synopsis

This Los Angeles-set tale follows Ronnie, a man who runs a disco walking tour along with his loser son, Brayden. When a sexy, alluring woman named Janet comes to take the tour, it begins a competition between father and son for her affections. It also brings about the appearance of an oily, slimy, inhuman maniac who walks the streets at night and strangles the innocent - soon dubbed "The Greasy Strangler".
