A man runs a walking disco tour with his browbeaten son. Meanwhile, a slimy, inhuman maniac stalks the streets of their town. See the film The Daily Beast’s Jen Yamato called the best film of Sundance, “the entry that woke audiences up by waterboarding them with a metaphorical vat of maniacal, putrid grease.” San Francisco, let’s get greasy!
