102. The People Under the Stairs (1991)

Published: July 29, 2023, 8 a.m.

We just cannot seem to escape Wes Craven and his brilliance lately. Today we give our thoughts on The People Under the Stairs (1991), a film that on its surface may appear to be nothing more than just another slasher flick from Wes. However, everything in this movie is so intentional that the message Wes is conveying would have to be willfully ignored by an audience goer. With some of his best antagonists of all time, Wes Craven brings us into a house that houses nothing but terrors the deeper you go into it. On this show we love Wes's work, but does the People Under the Stairs enter into the hallowed halls of essentiality? Find out today!\n
