Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
quicksmartmcoy To all the people who gave this movie a poor review saying the joke is suppose to be that it's terrible or that people only like movies like this to belong1. I don't know anyone apart from myself who has seen the movie and yet I love it, I am in not online group and have no online friends or community that know about, talk about or like this film and yet I love it, so there goes that theory2. The type of humour in the film is called non-sequitur if Jim Hosking the creator (who is British) was inspired by anyone in regards to the type of humour it has to have been, Reeves and Mortimer, the comedy itches a certain scratch, it's not scratch everyone has, but for some people it's there, if you don't have it, that's fine, the films not for youIf you want to see something that this film I am sure owes a debt to, watch Catterick (2004) for a showcasing of Vic and Bob's non-sequitur absurdist style, that this falls into the same school as, this is a school of british comedy that started with Spike Milligan and the Goon show and was carried on by Python and Rik Mayall.
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.
ngekilledme This movie is no good movie, its better off as a weird alternative reality comedy. this gives the movie rewatch value. the unpredictability is intense, wheras in other "good" movies, its simply the good guys win generally. bye
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.
