Drainiac!

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

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!!!

Wow! This had to be one of the most fun b-movies that I've seen in a while. Terrible acting between completely dysfunctional characters, super cheesy special effects, boom mike shots, and a final showdown with what looked like re-used footage from Krull. The soundtrack did not match with the actors mouths in MANY places making it even more hilarious when they delivered the horrible lines in the script. It had it all though, from the excessive use of slow motion, a man having his genitals ripped off by a rubber tentacle, to a toy car sinking in the mud where a real car had been. This is a must rent for a bad movie night or if you are like me and enjoy movies made with my weekend beer budget. Two thumbs up for this one.

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.

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.

Well I've been suffering from insomnia for the last couple of months but after watching this film on DVD I have found a cure. Like I said its not the worst film I've ever seen but it is extremely dull and I found my mind drifting off before I nodded off. The story involves a bunch of kids a haunted house with some gooey green stuff and thats about all I can remember of it. Maybe the film would benefit a little from some decent editing as certain scenes where nothing interesting happened seemed to go for too long but then again it is such a short film without cutting it, it would probably come in at under an hour that way. So if you have to watch every cheap horror film it might be worth a look otherwise save your time and cash.

Brett Piper's "Drainiac" harkens back to horror's modern heyday in the mid 80s, and takes that retro groove on a tongue-in-cheek roller coaster ride through a haunted house opus. Lots of fun, solid FX work from Piper as always, and good energy throughout. Suffers a bit in post-production looping, but it's a coin toss whether Georgia Hatzis' bath or Leslie Culton's skull-faced boogie is better. Very solid independent outing.
