Yes I see the Pulp Fiction stuff. Yes I see the Annihilator the bands cover so called Allison In Hell. It's a different kind of movie. Still just an average movie. 5 stars not above.

In an L.A. Neighborhood, 13 year old boy named Fool (Brandon Adams) has problems as he just turn 13 and has a dying mother, there the landlords want to kick him and his family out. Leroy (Ving Rhames) who is a family friend wants to help Fool break into the wealthy greedy landlords (Everett McGille and Wendy Robie) where a fortune of gold coins is rumored to be inside the house. Yet what they discover once inside the house is terror like the dog that would attack them to finding out that they kidnapped and tortured boys to put them in the cellar like animals who are turned into deformed creatures. Fool must find a way to get out of the house with the help of the adopted daughter of the couple named Alice (AJ Linder).Very entertaining, unsual and well made horror comedy thriller from Wes Craven is one of his finest films. He was inspired to write this film after reading a real-life news story about burglars breaking into a house. When authorities arrived, the burglars had disappeared but they discovered locked doors with noises coming from behind. Children had been locked up inside the rooms by their parents, never allowed to go outside. This movie deals with the themes of incest since the evil couple in this movie are siblings and cannibalism thrown into it along with the themes of abuse and all. Wes's direction is quite fine for this movie and i like how suspensful and thrilling this movie is including about the screwed up darkside of some neighborhoods especially the Robeson couple being an incestious one who likes to kidnap young males to torture them even cut off their tounges or eyes or ears for speak no evil hear no evil or see no evil which is quite messed up subject matter. The performance by the lead kid who plays Fool is quite likable and does a solid job as this is one of the rare horror movies that has a kid for a lead and i like that aspect of it. The couple from Twin Peaks in this movie does a solid job as the psycho mother and father, you actually despise the evil characters in this movie and want them to die because they are totally despicable pieces of inhuman monster crap. Sean Whalen did a great job playing Roach the mute deformed young man in this movie who helps Fool. Saw this in theaters as a kid and enjoyed it, this movie became a hit and a cult fave that influenced many films even the recent Resident Evil 7 as one of it's influences.

My favorite film work by horror legend is The Serpent And The Rainbow. Besides that the film I am discussing here is the one I enjoy the most with exception to that. The People Under The Stairs is a bizarre, macabre horror film that is pretty original and well executed. Wes Craven blends a eclectic mix of disturbing horror, social commentary and fairy tales. While the film tends to be many things, the story makes a lot of sense in its context and remains a very cohesive and well done horror film. The People Under The Stairs is disturbing and action packed with heavy helpings of dark humor. This all works well under Craven's solid direction and the cast is excellent and helps bring Mr. Craven's vision to life. Young Brandon Adams is excellent as Fool and did a great job as the young lead in this film. Everett McGill and Wendy Robie were very convincing and completely insane as Man and Woman. Coming straight off of Twin Peaks, they had amazing chemistry and really went above and beyond to make these people seem real. Also, check out an early performance from Ving Rhames, he is great here as well. Overall, The People Under The Stairs is a great film, the more disturbing elements remind me of Flowers In The Attic, but really there is not anything quite like it.

brilliant movie actors very great and the makeup they were wearing really stood out and how they did that thing with roaches tougue to make it look really cut out was amazing. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen the minute I started watching it fool was a convincing character and had me believing he was really captured and alice the way her clothes and stuff really looks scared was amazing sad part was when the wee dog was killed even thought it was a evil dog was a cute dog. I loved the part where all the communty came togetter and tried to stop her and him but I have to say would of been nice if alice had found her real mum and dad and had a happy ending but I guess alice just wasn't meant to have that happily ever after I recommend this movie to everyone and say you have seen brilliant till you seen the people under the stairs ,
