Leave your thoughts about The Greasy Strangler.
| The Daily BeastJen YamatoOne long feature-length skin-crawl, a comic exercise in visceral discomfort that's all the more entertaining if you can check your gag reflex and lean into the ick. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonThe Greasy Strangler needs to be seen on the smallest screen possible, with the sound off. |
| Total FilmJosh WinningA ready-made cult classic just begging to slay the midnight crowd. |
