Drainage

About This Movie

So, 'Drainage' is this short horror film that really leans into the unsettling. You can tell it’s a student project, but that kind of rawness gives it a certain charm. The pacing is tight, creating a creeping dread that lingers well after the credits roll. There’s this eerie atmosphere, helped by practical effects that pull you in rather than relying on flashy CGI. The theme of neglect, especially with something as mundane as plumbing, is surprisingly effective and creepy. The performances are solid for a short, capturing a sense of desperation and fear. For how simple the premise is, it leaves quite an impression, making you think twice before ignoring those pesky plumbing issues.
