As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

I'm a bit tired of writing reviews for movies none of you will ever see. So let's have a little vocabulary test instead, shall we?horror (noun) frightfully shocking, terrifying, or revolting. This film is the antithesis of that word.comedy (noun) humorous incident or series of incidents. This film, however unintentionally, is this is a nutshell.gratuitous (adjective) being without apparent reason, cause, or justification. The nude scene involving our heroine in the bath during a dream sequence, for instance.cheap (adverb) costing very little; relatively low in price. Where to start? The rubbery masks, the dreadful stop-motion animation... Basically, EVERYTHING in the big special effects 'extravaganza' finale.dub (verb) to alter (a taped soundtrack) by removing some parts and exaggerating others. The director should have done a much better job of this. Oh dear. Oh. Dear.thespian (noun) an actor or actress. None to be found here, people. Move along.extras (noun) a person hired by the day to play a minor part, as a member of a mob or crowd. These all die in a variety of gruesome ways. They're the lucky ones, getting out early...slime (noun) thin, glutinous mud. Tons of it. Green, brown... All throughout the film. Pretty disgusting. Is it scary though? Clue: NO.dialogue (noun) the lines spoken by characters in drama or fiction. Here, it'll make you laugh. It'll make you cry. But not in a good way.unbelievable (adjective) too dubious or improbable to be believed. The fact that someone bankrolled such an awful movie about a ghost stuck in some pipes who burns people's skin off with sewage. I mean... REALLY?friggin' (?) Now, this word isn't in the dictionary, but I'm lead to believe you use it as a substitute for f**k when your granny is staying. They say it a lot in this film. Start a drinking game... you'll be p*ssed before half an hour.There, I bet you've learned something today, haven't you? Made a nice change from a boring review, didn't it? See you next week, class. And do your homework, will ya... 2/10

Two bums freezing from the cold stumble upon a seemingly deserted house & one is quickly disposed of in the basement by an unseen force or rather a seen liquid. Flash forward a few years and we find Julie (Goergia Hatzis), who also has recurring nightmare, goes up with her overbearing father to clean up the aforementioned house (her dad buys houses to turn over) Her friends come up to help, but the killer liquid/mist/vapor is waiting for them I understand the makers of the film were working on a really minuscule budget, but this film was still awful. The plot just didn't click for me (a problem no amount of money could've fixed) and at even only 80 minutes running time my interest was wanning before it was even halfway though. The film is also heavily disjointed.Eye Candy: Georgia Hatzis goes full frontal an shows her ass as well; Adrienne McCleave & Leslie Culton both provide T&AMy Grade: DDVD Extras: Commentary by Writer/director Brett Piper, Creg Conley, & Michael Raso; trailer for this movie; and trailers for "Shock-O-Rama", "Dark Chamber", "Millenium Crises", "Bacterium", "Chainsaw Sally", "Creature from the hillbilly lagoon", "Sinful", "Skin Crawl", "Feeding the Masses", "Prison a go go", "Suburban Nightmare", "Bite me!", "Screaming Dead", "Demoness", "& "psycho Sisters"

An abused teen-aged girl is brought to a spooky old house by her father and told to clean it up. A group of the girl's friends show up, but things go bad when they learn that the plumbing has slimy, nasty demons living in them!Brett Piper isn't a filmmaker who'll be winning any Oscars anytime soon. His films are super low-budget, cheap horror films, some of which are downright awful (Arachnia and They Bight being his worst). Here, however, he manages to pull off a reasonable impressive production on a shoestring budget.The acting isn't very good. In fact, some of it was just awful, especially the actor playing the obnoxious punk kid, Wade. The script is weak too—Piper doesn't know how to pace things and as a result there are some scenes that just go on and on and on. The real stars of the film are the special effects, which are plentiful and often imaginative. The stop-motion animation was great, the make-up effects were often very good and the creature effects were quite impressive, though there is one rather tacky-looking creature near the end that resembles a Kermit the Frog puppet. There's some nice gore here, too, the most cringe-inducing being when some poor boy gets his crotch destroyed by a squid-thing (ouch), and a cool scene where a guy is covered in green goop then dissolved to the bone.Its all cheesy, though it has something many of its type don't—a sense of humor. I've seen many a B movie that have failed from a lack of humor, and thankfully Piper seems to be aware of this. "Drainiac" may not be high art, but its fun, different and occasionally imaginative. You could do much worse with a $2 rental.5/10.

My 9 year old brother picked this movie up from Hollywood Video today, and we watched it together (No, I wouldn't recommend this movie for most 9 year olds, but my little brother is...different). If you rent this movie, you need to know what to expect. This was a low-budget film. It's not going to have the kind of special effects you see in theatres. If you can't dig a good independent film, don't bother renting this.The storyline was cute...and so were the actresses, I mean WOW! The lead actress found a new reason to take her clothes off like every five minutes, and this guy had his genitals mutilated by a toilet (he had it coming though). Good stuff man.
