The Premise
The film follows Don (Steven Ogg), a blue-collar plumber with a filthy sense of humour, who drags along his germophobic son Sonny (Daniel Doheny) on a simple house call. What should’ve been another day on the job turns into a nightmare when they discover a genetically engineered, bloodthirsty monster has made the city’s plumbing its all-you-can-eat buffet. Teaming up with tough-as-nails night manager Patricia (Chelsea Clark, they’ll need to stop the beast before it contaminates the water supply.
Practical gore effects by Canadian genre wizard Steve Kostanski (Psycho Goreman, The Void) bring the slimy chaos to life, giving the movie that VHS-era creature-feature punch. After his own creature effects work on Frankie Freako, he’s ready for anything! Director Caldinelli calls it “gross, funny, and fast—meant to be enjoyed with as many people as possible. Just don’t drink from any suspicious taps afterward.”
Also starring Mark McKinney (The Kids in the Hall) and Marcia Bennett (The Shape of Water), the film blends heartfelt father–son bonding with gut-busting (and gut-spilling) comedy.
“We are so excited to be partnering with the Golden Plunger team on this fun and inventive film that pays homage to the classic ‘80s creature feature and in doing so, has a ton of laughs,” says Ian Goggins, EVP and Partner, Blue Fox Entertainment Canada.
