    Quirky Horror Film with Young Characters that is Good for Teens

    I’ve got kids who are now of the age (10, 13) that they are asking to see “scary” movies. What I don’t want to do is expose them to seriously frightening movies that will give them nightmares, or really gory movies, or movies with lots of swearing and sex. Unfortunately, these are the hallmarks of most horror movies. But, not quite so with The People Under the Stairs. By comparison, it’s relatively clean — the key word being “relatively”. I think it’s a good introductory movie to the horror genre for tweens and teens because the plot revolves around two characters who are probably around 12 or 13 years old — a girl and a boy. So, kids this age should be able to relate to it. There is a little bit of swearing, but not very much. There is no sex/nudity — although one of the “evil” characters gets dressed in a leather S&M outfit, it lends more creepiness to the movie than sensuality. There is one bloody scene with a smidge of cannibalism that happens pretty quickly, but nothing else horribly graphic. It’s more odd-scary than bloody-scary. If the horror genre isn’t your thing, by all means, don’t watch this movie. But, if you enjoy the genre and have teens that are interested and you don’t want to scar them psychologically, this movie isn’t a bad choice. As an adult, I laughed at a few scenes because the evil characters are so over the top — almost cartoonish in how they are depicted.

    Easily one of Craven’s best movies

    I can’t recommend this movie enough for anyone who likes the genre. The cast all do a phenomenal job. The suspense is glorious. The house itself, with all of its secret passages and spooky areas, is already one of my favorite horror movie locations. The choreography of movements is yet another highlight whenever there’s a cat and mouse game between characters. The action and chase scenes are some of the best I’ve sen from such young performers. The horrible things that the villains do to their adoptive daughter are sickening, but impressively well-acted. The only two things I’d change about this movie are a slightly corny speech that gets made at the end (even if it could be justified as shut providing a distraction for the hero) and the fate of the scene-stealing third character to die.This movie isn’t for the faint of heart, but the non faint of heart will love it.

    A Great, Quirky Mix Of Child Adventure Movie & Hard-Edged Horror

    I tend really to prefer obscure or under-appreciated horror movies, but I’ve no litmus test, and this Wes Craven joint from the early 90s really won me over. It reminds me of the Stephen King movie Silver Bullet in that follows a child (in this case a kid from the ghetto nicknamed Fool by his sister, a Tarot card aficionado) and often has the feel of a kid’s movie, and yet svelt full of the sort of hard-edged horror elements and explicit gore than most parents wouldn’t want their kids’ seeing. But while the mixture failed in the case of SB, it turns this movie into a sort of quirky masterpiece.This next paragraph goes out to all the hardcore movie trivia buffs out there:In order to save his family from eviction and also to get money for a cancer treatment his mother cannot afford, Fool agrees to case out a creepy old funeral home that just happens to be owned by his landlords, a bizarre couple played by Wendy Robie and Everett McGill, who, it can’t be coincidence, also worked together on the original Twin Peaks TV series as Nadine and Ed Hurley. The couple, referred to on IMDB simply as “Man” and “Woman”, have all sorts of perverse habits that get revealed as the film goes on. I won’t give them away except to say that at one point Man is wearing a full leather S&M mask and bodysuit and the person he’s chasing is a young and surprisingly svelte Ving Rhames, who just a few years later appeared in Pulp Fiction as a man who is assaulted by two rapist–killers who keep an almost identically clad man kept in captivity, whom they call the Gimp, a sequence so definitive that since then the outfit is almost universally referred to as a “gimp suit”. I wouldn’t be surprised if both Twin Peaks and Pulp Fiction were both making very intentional references to this movie.This is just a fun piece of film that definitely entertains and, while it doesn’t necessarily “make” you think, offers lots of food for thought to those of us who enjoy thinking about the deeper messages of horror films. The guy who played Fool, Brandon Quintin Adams, is just an excellent child actor an I’m dismayed to see that he hasn’t had much of a career since this movie. He really ought to have the same sort of cult status among the horror community that others such as Linda Blair and Chloë Grace Moretz have enjoyed.
