Rating: - The People Under the Stairs Review from The Massie Twins
Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs presents a unique idea for a horror film, but isn't quite able to pull it off. Phenomenal acting by the damnable ghetto owners and an unlikely 13-year-old hero add to the singularity, but the repetitious hunting through the walls of the prison-like house of horrors and the lack of victims makes the film more of an adventure than nail-biting horror.

I have now seen the movie multiple times and even own a DVD version. This is one of my most favorite movies!

And in my opinion The People Under the Stairs is one of Craven's best of his career.
It took Wes a long time before he broke the big time while Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes are seen as classics; they weren't mainstream when first ... Read More
