    Nasty porno horror.

    The 70's were the times in which porn was very mean and ugly.Lots of so-called XXX roughies was made during those glorious years of cinematic filth.Among them was infamous "Waterpower" by Shaun Costello.Jamie Gillis plays here a notorious rapist called the Enema Bandit.He viciously rapes his female victims and before the rape he gives them an enema.The cops are trying desperately to catch him..."Waterpower" is certainly a shocking and dirty stuff,but the acting is pretty good and the cinematography is great.The film is filled with gritty atmosphere of urban decay.The scenes of sexual violence are hard to stomach and the misogyny is rampant through its projection time.Jamie Gillis is frighteningly realistic as the Enema Bandit.A must-see for fans of bizarre hybrids of porn and horror.8 out of 10.

    A bizarre, kinky, mean-spirited, and totally sordid 'cult classic'.

    Loosely based on the exploits of The Enema Bandit, a criminal who would sexually assault his victims before forcefully administering an enema, Water Power is a hell of a sleazy film—one that makes you feel incredibly dirty for having watched it. A twisted cross between Scorsese's Taxi Driver and a grimy 70s XXX feature, it follows nut-job rapist Burt (played by porn-star Jamie Gillis) as he sets out to cleanse the filthy women of New York, via the use of high colonics.

    Directed by smut-merchant Shaun Costello (but often accredited to Gerard 'Deep Throat' Damiano), this film inevitably features a fair dose of adult acts and 'other scenes of a graphic nature' (use your imagination—I'm not gonna describe it!), but it also works as a thriller (thanks largely to Gillis's convincing turn as a total crackpot), meaning that fans of extreme exploitation such as myself can offer up a fairly valid (if not completely convincing) excuse for watching this filthy, disturbing and quite nauseating fetish flick.

    As far as rating this one goes, it deserves either 1 out of 10 for making me feel like a total degenerate, or 10/10 for being a one of a kind, unbelievably demented and totally disgusting 'masterpiece', so I'll average it out and give it 5.5/10 (rounded up to 6 for IMDb).

    Cleanliness is next to ... filthiness?

    All the way through watching "Water Power" I couldn't stop chuckling because Jack Nicholson's legendary Joker quote from "Batman" was stuck in my head. "This town needs an enema!" That must have been exactly what the protagonist was repeating in his head the entire time as well. Gerard Damiano, the same legendary guy who brought us "Deep Throat" presents this vile and hugely perverted "Water Power". At least, that's what the cover proudly exclaims, but apparently this was just a shameless publicity stunt and the actual guy in the director's seat was Shaun Costello. Now that is a much more logical and acceptable link with this film. "Deep Throat" was a porno movie, but a comical and light-headed one, whereas "Water Power" deals with unpleasant topics like rape, torture and perverted fetishes. Since Shaun Costello previously directed the notorious "Forced Entry" – revolving on a Vietnam veteran on a rape and murdering rampage – it's much more credible to see his name linked to "Water Power". Either way, this is a remarkable piece of ultra-smutty 70's porno exploitation. It's a unique and fascinating effort to behold, but for all the wrong reasons as you're are basically watching a story about a misogynist freak raping women and sticking tubes of water in their behinds and actually getting away with it, too! "Water Power" introduces a thirty-something and very bored guy named Burt. His apartment is decorated with pornographic pictures and he peeps at his sexy stewardess neighbor through a telescope, but other than that he's a random and completely normal male individual. After a visit to a luxurious sex club, however, Burt discovers his true calling in life: enemas! He goes on a purifying crusade through the rancid streets of New York, beginning with his neighbor but quickly taking on every random woman he assumes to be a dirty whore. He picks them up or even perpetrates into their houses, rapes them and then finally thrusts tubes into their anuses and turns on the tab! The police desperately searches for the so-called "enema bandit" but can't find him, even though he doesn't make too much efforts covering up his crimes. That's probably because the duo of inspectors is too busy investigating each other's genitals. Supposedly based on a true story, "Water Power" is a rather disturbing film. The setting, decayed and sleaze-infested New York streets, is obviously copied from "Taxi Driver" and Jamie Gillis probably even owes his casting to his sinister and menacing appearance. Most unsettling, of course, is the actual act of performing forced enemas. They look very realistic and even more painful (I hope the actresses were paid accordingly!) and honestly not something you do to get sexual kicks. Anyways, in case you are looking for the extreme type of adult movie with a plot – yes, they do exist – and character development, "Water Power" would make an excellent choice.

    really mean exploitation flick

    This is one of so-called "roughies", nasty hardcore exploitation cinema. Good example of that kind of cinema is surely the other picture from Gerard Damiano: "Forced Entry". "Waterpower" is quite similar - it's filthy, with lots of XXX scenes included, but they're here trying to say: "we were shoot on purpose". Don't be naive, it's only another fetishistic piece of trash. But it's also quite entertaining. The plot is very simple: there's a man with some serious psychic problems. After a visit in a bordello, where he sees the man doing an enema to a girl, he finds he's new great fascination. He starts to be a "moral voice" of the big city, he traces young women and rapes them. After all he's doing an enema to them to - as he says - purify them. Well..., I didn't find it nice watching water mixed with feces coming out of those girls, but I must admit that this is really original idea. See for yourself if I think that you have to, but remember that you were warned.

    The essence of it all

    Of course, I do not want to condone the use of force or violence, and in this video, it is actually criminal - rape associated with the administration of enemas . . . however, with that caveat having been applied, this video is CLASSIC. Everything you could want, from the medical administration of a discipline enema, to the girl next door who needs to be cleansed, to the two sisters alone at home, to the ultimate female police officer who tries to set the guy up! It's a full length film and I think - with other vintage 70/80 film - that which became the cornerstone of my interest in medical fetish/fantasy and the later development of "PLAY DOCTOR". Highly recommended.

    • Trivia
      Loosely based on the real-life escapades of Michael H. Kenyon; who for about a decade committed armed robberies on female victims, who he would then sexually assault by forcing them to take enemas. He was also the subject of the Frank Zappa song "The Illinois Enema Bandit", available on the "Zappa in New York" album.
    • Goofs
      Clea Carson becomes audibly angry in her scene with Jamie Gillis, as she demands that he "stop NOW", resulting in a visibly startled Gillis momentarily breaking character.
    • Crazy credits
      Some prints erroneously credit Gerard Damiano as director.
    • Alternate versions
      The Alpha France DVD runs 65:36 (PAL) minutes. It is missing a lot of dialogue, Burt giving the sisters a golden shower, and other footage. However, it does have the best quality picture, and contains some brief footage not found in the Dutch Videorama VHS.
