Poster for the film THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS

The People Under the Stairs

When Pointdexter “Fool” Williams (Brandon Adams) sneaks into the massive house of his greedy, uncaring landlords, he discovers a disturbing scene underneath the stairs.

Directed with manic intensity by Wes Craven, this underrated early ‘90s gem artfully blends twisted horror elements and social commentary, taking square aim at class warfare and income inequality with righteous anger. 

 

“A wacky, darkly comic, and obscenely weird horror movie”
Felix Vasquez Jr, Cinema Crazed

This film is part of the After Hours series.
