Summary: They want to find the perfect playmate for their daughter
Review: This movie is a bout a boy who gets trapped in a house full of trap doors and deformed teenagers who live under the stairs. The two adults are crazy and abuse their daughter yet they still want to find the perfect playmate for her. The young boy then flees her from the house after they destroy it. I would not reccommend this movie to any young children.

Summary: Boy is trapped in a homicidal house and gets out .
Review: Besides it being a horror movie I thought it was a little of comedy. I would like to have the movie but I can't find it in stores. The first time I saw it was on the Superstation TBS then I rented it.

Summary: "Damn Buckshot!"
Review: I got a real kick out of some of the previous reviews treating "People Under the Stairs" as a serious horror film! The thing with this odd movie is that it should be awful...the premise is just so goofy, but somehow things just click and it's just too damn fun! If you like horror-humor, along the lines of the second two Evil Dead films or Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, then you will enjoy "People Under the Stairs". You can't treat this film seriously, if you go into this movie expecting to be scared or frightened you are going to be sorely disappointed. There really are no tense scenes, and anytime the film approaches anything the may be deemed as frightening, something so absurd will happen that you will be smiling immediately. This movie is quite a bit of fun, just don't take it too seriously.

Summary: One of Wes Craven's strangest and funnest movies
Review: The People Under the Stairs is about a young black kid who's mother has cancer and needs an operation. His family is poor and can't pay for it. Ving Rhames plays a friend of the kid's sister and he breaks into houses and steals things. He has a house in mind and is the house of these 2 crazy people who steal money from the town. He gets the boy to help out and when they get in the house they both regret breaking in. The couple or brother and sister, whatever they are lol hunt and kill whoever breaks in the house. Then they throw them in the basement feed them to these deformed people they have locked up in the basement.
The result is an often fun, scary and even silly ride into one strange and unusual house. The husband, brother or whatever he is wears leather and a leather mask while hunting people, god knows why lol but it is pretty damn funny. The movie is a horror movie yes but it gets more laughs then scares and I think that's what director Wes Craven had in mind. I mean these 2 people hate people and hunt them down or cut out there tongue and put them in the basement. While I have to find it funny that they have a picture of their dog in a picture frame. No pictures of other people just their dog lol. Their dog by the way is vicious and hunts right along with them and is about as evil as they are. The actors that play the couple "brother and sister, whatever they are", totally overact. Their characters are so nutty and out there that we don't really care. This is just a fun and strange horror movie that shouldn't be taken seriously, just sit back and enjoy it.

Summary: People Under the Stairs Should Come Out to Play
Review: One of the quirkiest horror movies ever, 'People' delivers the thrills, chills, and even some laughs. A ghetto youth with his sisters boyfriend break in to their landlord's house. Simple enough, right? Oh how wrong it is when the house is locked down and the satanic s and m worshipers hunt down the intruders in a house that seems to never end. Part haunted house yarn, part mad dog chase, and lets not forget "Flowers in the Attic" on acid, blend with a near zombie-like teenage movie. The movie is hard to describe, but there isn't one nearly like it. It is Wes Craven's most original work, and to cast a drag queen as the leading lady is so John Waters! Also stars a young Ving Rhames, who now has gone full circle and fighting the dead in the new 'Dawn.' Everett McGill is over-the-top as the leading weirdo, but is perfectly right for the role.

Summary: A Poor Effort by a Horror Master
Review: "Fool," (Brandon Adams) as he's known by his friends, isn't exactly living "the good life" with his ill mother who can't pay the rent. When one of the family friends decides to pull off a Robin Hood stunt, stealing from a local wealthy family to give to the poor (namely themselves), Fool sees this as a quick solution to his family's problems. However, Fool and his friends find that this is by no means an "ordinary" family, and succeeding in their task will be more difficult than they had imagined. This family has a dark secret that they have kept for quite some time now. They have a hungry horde of cannibalistic boys locked in their basement, strange torture and security devices throughout the house, and an evil man-eating dog patrolling the house. The twisted wealthy owners of the house (Everett McGill and Wendy Robie) lock Fool in their home and are out for blood. Fool must trust one girl, Alice (A.J. Langer), living in the house, in addition to one of these ill-treated boys in order to attempt his escape. This was a seemingly interesting premise that was executed poorly. The plot was severely lacking, and the poor acting certainly didn't help. The odd couple housing the boys in their basement become particularly irritating. I understand that some of their actions were meant to be seen as humorous (...), but it wasn't pulled off very well. All characters, with the one exception of Fool, were severely under-developed. In addition, much of this film was extremely cliche. For example, the wealthy couple who owns the home is approached by the police one night. When they bring out hors deouvres and drinks for their interrogators, all seems forgotten and the police indulge themselves and then leave. How could this nice, polite, high-society couple be involved in anything questionable? Furthermore, why exactly these people have boys living under their stairs is never fully explained, they are merely there. Buy this movie only if you are a huge Wes Craven fan, but otherwise leave it for a lonesome Friday night rental. I have always been one to enjoy a great horror film, but this is definitely not one of them.
