The People Under the Stairs

Is this Wes Craven’s best horror movie? Out of all of the movies he directed? Probably not. But it’s a terrific, fast-paced, scary chiller with a truly twisted plot! The acting is great, and it’s a bonus that the film has a warped sense of humor in some scenes. This is not as brutal as Wes Craven’s earlier film, The Hills Have Eyes, but it’s pretty terrifying. The fact that it was written and filmed in a style that makes room for a lot of suspense only heightens the terror. The Hills Have Eyes eventually got a good remake, but I’m glad that hasn’t happened to this movie. I used to love horror movie remakes but I finally got tired of them, not because of any of the bad remakes, but there are so many horror remakes. Do us a favor, Hollywood! Leave The People Under the Stairs alone! This movie is perfect just as it is!

This movie was so well crafted and it is obviously a classic and forever will be if you liked A nightmare on elm street you will love this

I remember watching this on Halloween when I was little and it gave me nightmares. Now, over a decade later... it's just a great twisted movie. It definitely one of my favorites.

I love this movie

If you are looking for scary, this isn't it. I rented the movie based on all the great reviews and was extremely disappointed. It is more silly, as some previous reviews mentioned. Odd story, not scary, silly rather than funny. Not good.

Roach my dawg

man i remember when i was a kid seen this in the theatre and thought the father in the s&m outfit was the MOST f'd up thing i ever saw and rayanne from my so called life (the daughter)was soo cute then i had go and get old and wish the s&m dad was the mosy screwed up thing i ever saw. kill me.buy or rent this if your still in high school and think last house on the left was screwed up and actually dig the texas cm remake was good dont bother your too young screw remakes

I'm hoping this movie is the same one I watched as a kid. It was one my favorites then and still is today.

Yes the couple from twin peaks, play bro and sis in this film, I think. Anyway, it's a good, odd, funny horror film.

I thought this movie was very entertaining. Not really a scary movie, it definitely has a creepy vibe. It's got the typical Wes Craven humor, which makes it a bit silly, but that's the fun of his films. Worth a watch if you like his films.
