In every neighborhood there is one house that adults whisper about and children cross the street to avoid. When a boy helps break into the home of the greedy landlords evicting his family, he becomes dangerously trapped in a spine-chilling fight for survival. Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs is a stone-cold scare classic that also serves satirically as a brutal critique on class inequality in America. The Sandlot‘s Brandon Adams stars with nightmarish support from Twin Peaks’ Everett McGill and Wendy Robie as the macabre pair behind the grisly house of horrors.
“Not just a disturbing ride but also a hard-hitting political statement” – S.C. Dacy, Empire
