With the recent news that Blumhouse Productions is interested in bringing back the Hellraiser and Scream franchises it got me thinking about another forgotten gem, The People Under the Stairs. The movie is a favorite of mine, and I make sure I go back and watch it at least twice a year.
The People Under the Stairs was released in 1991 and was written and directed by horror legend Wes Craven. The story tells the story about two adults and a kid named Fool break into a creepy old house that is occupied by a crazy brother and sister, and their stolen children. Once in the house, the pair and Fool are in for the fight of their lives.
The People Under the Stairs covers a plethora of topics such as racism, social injustice, child abuse, and greed. The movie was made on a $6 million- dollar budget and grossed around $31 million worldwide.
