Description
Fool, a 13-year-old boy, lives in the ghetto with his sister and sick mother. When his family doesn't have enough money to pay the rent, Fool is persuaded by Leroy (Ving Rhames) to break into his landlord's house to steal a valuable coin collection. Once Fool and Leroy are inside the huge and heavily fortified house, they realize they've gotten more than they bargained for, as the landlords turn out to be an insane brother and sister couple (Everett McGill and Wendy Robie) who murder visitors and keep their kidnapped "sons" locked up in the basement as deformed monsters. Only Alice, an imprisoned girl, can save Fool from the horrors within, and a frantic chase begins between the walls of the bizarre house as Fool tries to save himself, Alice, and his community from the evil landlords. A unique and inventive horror film, THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS combines the structure of a classic fairy tale with modern social criticism and imaginative production design. Director Wes Craven based his film on real-life news reports of parents who kept their children locked up at home.

Lowest Price: $10.99
Power Score: 3.8 | 8 Reviews
This was an extremely freaky movie. Realistic? No but it deffinately made one think.
A slightly interesting movie that features very strange characters. Soem are acted rather well but in the end the movie is just not that scary or entertaining. The ending is predictable. Not a complete waste of time but should be viewed long after all teh okay films have been seen.
If you've already watched all the other horror movies on this list 15-20 times already, you might want to have a look at this one. Or seek psychiatric help, immediately.
Well made low budget horror. I haven't seen a creepier couple than the ones who occupied this house.
