Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs

Date of Review:  May 8, 2001
The Bottom Line: While not Craven's best film, this is certainly one of his more entertaining efforts. Catch this one with some friends.
Review: The People Under the Stairs: MCA Universal Pictures
Rating: USA: R

As far as genre directors go, Wes Craven doesn?t always get the respect he deserves. This isn?t solely the fault of genre fans, but also Craven?s as well. For every...

Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: A fairly solid horror film that, even though flawed, gets a recommendation.
Review: The overrated director Wes Craven has created what is probably his most tonally disjointed, yet most satisfying picture. The People Under the Stairs is a movie you most likely won't enjoy due to its dark subject matter. Yet one can't argue that it...

No, YOUR Mother Sleeps with Cats

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: I got a bit of a kick out of it, but I'll probably never watch it again.
Review: I'm not much of a fan of horror movies in general and I think the '80s & early '90s provided us with plenty of examples of some of the worst film-making possibly ever. I could count the number of horror movies I've seen on one hand - with a couple...

Wes Craven Didn't Do Too Bad

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2000
Review: Wes Craven's The People Under The Stairs takes a modern twist on an old story. Fool has just turned thirteen and his mother has cancer. She will die if she doesn't receive an operation to remove it. However, Fool's family can not afford an operation...

A new twist on the rich feeding off the poor

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2000
Review: Normally, I dislike Wes Craven. I find a lot of his films annoyingly formulaic and, well, boring.

Nonetheless, I love People Under the Stairs. The plot revolves around a 13-year-old boy named Fool who agrees to help rob a house to get money...

Cravens Identity Issues: Slapstick/Brutal Violence Soup.

Date of Review:  Oct 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: Craven fan's should certainly check this out, as it's incredibly strange, and at times both scary and funny. Other times it fails miserably.
Review: I've always regarded Wes Craven, as many have, as one of the horror greats, notably for his brilliant exploitation efforts Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes and his entries in the Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream series. However, his...

Great Fun

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: This movie is so much fun. I've loved it since I was a kid and I revisit that fun every time I see it. A classic.
Review: It's a simple story: Just turned thirteen, Fool has some grown-up problems. His mother is sick and there's no money for a doctor and his family is about to be evicted by uncaring landlords. So when his sister's boyfriend comes up with a crazy plot...

Wes Craven's THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: Craven's better effort in the horror genre.
Review: Wes Craven, director of many horror films, usually makes predictable and boring horror movies such as THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, SHOCKER, and THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW. Mind you, there are some good horror movies in this director's uneven career,...
