I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2025 MOVIE CHALLENGE.
WEEK 1: A FILM FROM 1991
Review: 13-year old Fool is persuaded by his sister’s boyfriend to break into
the landlord’s house, that has been taking advantage of the entire
neighborhood. However, the house turns out to be a prison from which escape is
almost impossible. Inside, Fool gets to know his fellow inmates.
“The People Under the Stairs”
is a film directed by Wes Craven, horror with elements of dark comedy. Inspired
about a news report about a couple who kept their children locked in the house
for years, Craven made an amusing and critical fable about the America of
Reagan and Bush.
It’s not one of Craven’s
best films, but certainly one that will entertain you. It’s funny and
ridiculous, though also creepy. But the film is self-aware. I don’t think many
people know this Craven flick.
