SOURCE-Scream Factory Blu ray
Fool lives in the ghetto. His mom is dying from cancer,and his family is about to be evicted from their apartment. Local rumor is this one house in the area has a huge collection of gold coins. So Fool along withVing Rhames and another dude plot to break into the house steal the coins and not only pay the back rent they owe but get Fool's mom fixed up.
Once in the house they learn shit is fucked. The entire house if boobytrapped. Their a pile of cannibals living in the basement. And the brother and sister,that call each other Mom and Dad, have a young teen girl named Alice. They refuse to let her leave the house.
Ving Rhames and the other guy get killed fast and the rest of the film is Fool trying to escape and find the gold. Assisted by Alice and Roach,a guy that lives between the walls.
Gory and dark and full of craziness this was way way better than I remembered. Sure I had seen it a few times back in the day. Just been so long since I saw it I had forgotten huge chunks of the film.
Like how the brother spends a good part of the film runnign around in a leather gimp outfit. Or how the Sister looks so much like my crazy aunt we don't talk too.
Feels like this is a forgotten Wes Craven film. Sure his Elm Street films get talked about a pile,same with Last House on the Left and the Hills have eyes. But The People Under the Stairs I never seen much chatter about.
This blu ray is packed with extras. Looks great decent sound and I'm kind of glad I got it for a deal.
The People Under the Stairs gets a B.
