Review of The People Under the Stairs (1991) by Dave H — 06 Oct 2010
Caught half of this in a Laotian guesthouse this week. Was blown away by its depraved audacity. Here's something I cut from someone else's review on IMDB: "The film also features rather grisly themes of child and animal abuse,incest,S&M and murder,but it's not offensive." I thought that was a classic line.
Well, I'll leave it up to each individual to decide if this is offensive or not, but it's certainly possible to enjoy the repulsive subject matter if one embraces the campy, wacky, tongue-in-cheek approach. Think the Goonies via QT at his sickest. Less scary I guess than funny, at least when the gimp makes an appearance.
Certainly it's original. I've never seen anything like this.
