Wikipedia article
'From the Drain' is a 1967 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.
Release
The film was shown in June 1967 at the Cinethon festival.
Home video
The short was included along with Cronenberg's other early films on a bonus disc in Arrow Video's 2015 UK Blu-ray release of 'Videodrome'. This bonus disc, entitled David Cronenberg's Early Works was later released on its own a year later.
