People Under The Stairs, The

The People Under The Stairs (1991)
Dir: Wes Craven

After a botched burglary attempt, a young boy and his sister's boyfriend become trapped in their landlord's home.
Tame horror movie that is enjoyable but light on scares. The idea is intriguing and the 'people under the stairs' could have been really creepy, but Craven seems to be aiming for a more humorous tone which is a disappointment. It's entertaining in parts but ultimately a let down.
