I'm not sure why this movie has poor reviews. I thought it was funny. Some of Phil and Mona's lines are hilarious. It has a powerful cast that are playing parts that they would not normally play and that's what makes this movie worth watching. It's a black comedy that is a little more goofy than most. When I even see that character Phil, I bust out laughing and Mona is such a bitch, it's perfect. Please don't use these reviews to decide whether or not you will watch this movie. Give it a chance you may like it.

when I was little, this scared the hell outta me. I can't believe my dumbass father let me watch it at the age of 5. scar'd for life. but it is a classic that I can still turn to when I need a thrill. Chucky does have super human strength. Just watch it.

The People under the stairs was almost a great movie. All the elements were there, it was just poorly executed. I'm not much of a Craven fan so normally I would laugh at the thought of giving one of his movies (that I haven't already seen) a chance, especially one that was made in 1991 but when my wife had seen the cover on Netflix and said it was one of here fav's from when she was young, I thought I would give it a chance. Bad acting, bad make-up and a poorly written script were just a few of my complaints but overall the movie felt good. People in the ghetto in 1991 are not that nice though, just saying. Some hardcore horror fans might not be satisfied with this one, I wasn't. There is cheap gore and scare tactics which I would usually like but nothing to inventive. They should remake it nowadays. I give it a 3/5 and say, its worth watching...once.

Most of this movie is slow but there is about 15 min of this movie that will scare you good. Believe.

I liked this movie, it was exciting and reminded me of my youth. I had a pretty fucked up youth.
