From the Drain is a 1967 Canadian short film directed by David Cronenberg.

Plot summary

The film is centered on two men in a bathtub; it is implied that they are veterans of some past conflict but revealed that they are currently in a mental institution. The first man is paranoid about the drain of the tub, the second indifferent to it. After the conversation between the two men progresses, a vine-like tendril emerges from the drain to strangle the first man. The second shows no emotion to this sudden turn of events and the film ends.

Production

Cronenberg wrote, shot, directed, and edited the film using $500 (Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".).Template:Sfn
