The film of the week this time is THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS.

I think Wes Craven is a very overrated director. This is one of the few films of his I like. It is a surprisingly good horror/comedy about a group a boy and two adults who break into a house that is owned by a brother and sister who keep children under their stairs. What makes this film stand out a bit more than Craven's other films is how it almost seems like a dark fairy tale at times. Many critics dismissed it when it came out, but I personally think it is one of Wes Craven's best. The main kid is a bit annoying at times, but not enough to make the film too much worse.

The fairy tale aspect is a bit odd. The main kid, whose name is fool, tries to break into this house to steal money so his family can pay the rent. While in the house also has to try and save a girl Alice. I highly recommend it if you want to watch a good horror comedy. It isn't a great film, but I quite liked it. I would say more, but it's tough to without spoiling it. I will say though that if you like the idea of a film that mixes Home Alone, The Goonies, and Texas Chainsaw massacre then see this. I know that sounds like an odd combo, but trust me, it's worth seeing.
