The People Under the Stairs

When Cnady Minx first set this blogging thing up for me she warned there would be time where I wouldn't feel like writing on it. I guess the last week has been one of those times. No worries, I'm back with all kinds of bad films to fill you in on starting with this Wes Craven clunker. THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS reminds me of TWIN PEAKS in a Halloween fun house. Part of this has to do with Wendy Robie and Everett McGill being in the leads here in an off-shot and no doubt nod by Craven to their roles on TWIN PEAKS. The action revolves around and inbred family who own a funeral home and a house that has more hidden passage ways than a Taliban rat hole. Poor Ving Rhames and some obnoxious kid get stuck in said house and that is about all you need to know. By no means a good film it is still worth a look for the performances of Robie and McGill and it sure wouldn`t hurt to have a bottle of something strong to make this go down a little easier. No real scares to peak of but some OK splat and some serious laughs.
