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

Even though this isn't a good movie (bad acting, boom mic visible, etc.), Brett Piper did gain some of my appreciation in recent years (this is the 3rd movie I've seen of him, after "Bite Me!" and "Arachnia"). The man always brings a certain flair to his Z-grade world of horror and amps up his material with imaginative & very enjoyable low-budget special effects (plus, most of his movies seem to be shot on real film, so no SOV stuff here). And it works wonders, as his efforts become more watchable than you'd expect. "Drainiac!" feels a bit like as if a drunk Frank Henenlotter would have had his own take on the material of "The Evil Dead". This time we have an abandoned house possessed by a water-demon. Some teens come to clean the place up, and the madness begins. You may also include some female nudity, so we have something most B-movie horror fans can enjoy.

horrible movie with lame attempts at humor and stiff acting casting was ridiculous (main character is 17, but has a tattoo??) this movie should be burned.... and to think this title was in the top rented section.... if i could retroactively kill the person who invented the DVD... i would kill him/her just so my eyes wouldn't be scorned by this movie.It starts off with a campy scene, and then just fails as the horrible CGI monster, or green blob dissolves a guy.Then zoom in present day. A teenage girl with an abusive father, has friends help clean an abandoned house, class clown/ renegade pops out.....uggh... this was a cardboard cutout "C" movie.... the best part of this movie?the credits at the end

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"
