At the risk of sounding cliche' we think it's safe to say that The People Under the Stairs may be Wes Craven's most unique horror movie. Working with a script he wrote on his own, and coming 5 years before Scream, Craven for the first time, dabbled in social commentary and dark comedy to make a movie that still holds up.

The story is about a 13 year old poor kid, simply name Fool, who brakes into his evil landlords broken down home only to find a house of horrors hidden in the walls.

Young actor Brandon Quintin Adams, who already had an impressive resume going into this does a great job carrying the film as our hero, but Everett McGill and Wendy Robie, fresh off their run from Twin Peaks, steal the show as truly messed up landlords.
