Drainiac! Audience Reviews

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
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
Vomitron_G 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.
willywants 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.
shaunw 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.
huggy_bear This movie was absolutely dreadful, awful. The acting sucked, there was no acting. The words never matched the mouth, and the effects were laughable. I knew I was in trouble in the first five minutes of this nightmare. The two rednecks fighting was just a freaking joke. I could've rounded up several of my friends and we could've done a better job of acting than these clowns did. The best part of the whole movie was the bath scene, but don't rent this garbage just to see a naked woman taking a bath. I tried to get my money back on this sh*t, but Blockbuster wouldn't go for it. Well, **Warning-Stay Away From This Piece Of Sh*T!!!
