This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The people under the stairs is Wes Craven at his wittiest & scariest. This movie is really scary & clever. Every Craven movie is a classic & this movie is up there with his best work. This movie is about a young colored boy who lives in the ghetto. In order to avoid his family being evicted from their apartment he decides to join two theives who want to rob the greedy landlords who own his apartment block. All 3 of them get inside the house, but once they do they get much more trouble than they expected. Everyone who breaks into the house never leaves the house, they are butchered. Overall this is one of Craven's most underrated movies. Expand
