THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS (1991) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION!

[@MrDeadstu]

"People Under the Stairs" isn't scary - it's disturbing. Disturbingly good. 🙃

[@w1975b]

when you say that, I'm reminded of the movie Disturbing Behavior

[@LenOliver-yz6os]

No!!!!!! its down rt awesome!!!!!

[@AbsoluteApril]

"fun" fact from the wiki: Craven was partially inspired by a news story from the late 1970s, in which two burglars broke into a L.A. home, inadvertently causing the police to discover two children who had been locked away by their parents

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

is that story still around

[@AbsoluteApril]

@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc it happened in 1978 but I don't have a link to the original news story

[@JoyfulOrb]

The swarming and tearing apart of the abusive parents makes perfect sense, the abused, disfigured, young boys who've lived in the walls and the vents, have witnessed EVERY SINGLE ABUSIVE ACT those monstrous abusers have EVER done! Eyeless, earless, tongueless, they were still witnesses, and they knew justice was DUE.

[@veronicagross7458]

And they attacked them to protect Alice, who was the one risking for them every time she sneak some food and cared for them.

[@juliestasha2919]

As a kid I went into this film terrified, then when I realized the people in the walls were the goodies I really enjoyed it 😂😁

[@arifeannor9573]

That would be amazing.

I'm really not sure how you could make this better. Better *looking,* sure, but *improved?* Unlikely.

[@Dennis_K09]

Tales From the Hood... is a criminally underrated horror film you guys should definitely watch!!!

[@ccrdcd38]

They really should it's a cult classic

[@Charlie_Wolfe]

I laughed so loud at the end, the boys nonchalantly blending into the crowd like they could adapt into society after everything they’ve been through Also there’s no way I could ever be as brave as Fool in a situation like this, I aspire to be him

[@Leafleague]

Have to do "tales from the hood" next.

[@pcolatravesty3121]

Omg I have been DYING for someone to react to this movie! I should've known it would be you guys who finally did lol. I haven't watched yet but this seems like the perfect movie for you guys

[@ashtonturner2862]

Honestly, this is personally my favorite Wes Craven film. I love Elm Street, Scream, The Serpent and the Rainbow, but this film has a special place in my heart. Such an underrated fun horror movie with a social & economic message.

[@w1975b]

have you seen Swamp Thing? he directed that also

[@JoyfulOrb]

I've always loved this movie! There were so many movies about gang violence and people acting like Black or poor people were responsible for the problems in the world, especially after the riots, when I was a kid I ALWAYS sided with the monsters and the street smart kids! It's still so refreshing to have a horror movie where the creatures in the walls, the thieves and the voiceless mutants, they're the heroes! Attack the Block is a brilliant British Sci-Fi Horror film you'll absolutely love, though you might need subtitles.

[@snowglass3969]

This was and remains absolutely one of my favourite movies. I loved it as a teenager, I love it now. It's so completely bonkers, I've rarely seen another movie that can top it. Humour, unexpected twists, and complete late 80s early 90s crazy good fun.

[@sweetpeas2898]

"He had to rob and kill a man as a child!" Damn. I never ever considered that!! Changes the story considerably. Can't wait for the remake! Don't let me down Jordan Peele!

[@iceastone]

Literally my favorite Wes Craven film followed by New Nightmare. I used to watch this as a child all the time but didn't really understand the deeper meaning behind situations and characters till I was older.

[@thebossrayden]

New Nightmare, Scream, he's the goat

[@SparkleP8nter]

Omg me too! Those are my 2 favorites of his!!!

[@johnowen7302]

Omg this movie nearly killed my childhood, remember sneaking down to watch TV as a kid and coming up on this 😫 😅

[@violentlycreamy]

13 Ghosts hasnt been reacted to yet by many people...its severely slept on at this point. i hope more reactors jump on it. criminally underrated.

More suggestions for you two: Arachnophobia (1990), Death Becomes Her (1992), The Bone Collector (1998), The Faculty (1998), Idle Hands (1999), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Slither (2006), The Ruins (2008)

[@jstratton1981]

Always loved this flick strictly on the casting of mom and dad because of their ties to Twin Peaks.

[@torrimcmurren1101]

Some recommendations: - Sinister - Children of the Corn - Dead Silence - Silver Bullet - The Others Fun fact- Jim Carey starred in a “scary” comedy called Once Bitten. Love the channel!

[@christinegelabert1651]

@Torri McMurren Oh yeah! Great choices and remember...He wants you to Malachi! 😉❤️😎

[@n0tk0sher]

Dead Silence is one of the only modern movies to scare me.

[@w1975b]

"the man" in this is a character in Silver Bullet

[@shannonvetter7122]

Lol!!! The reason why the guy had that outfit on so quickly was because “Mommy and Daddy “ were already “ playing “ before they realized someone else was in the house!!🤣😜

[@excaliber8713]

Excellent ! Next can you do “Vampire in Brooklyn”. Please ?

[@TheRealRodent]

18:47 where he smashes the bar across his back and breaks it... watch Brandon's reaction... he stops, then carries on with the scene. The actor was genuinely shocked at the bar snapping. He wasn't meant to hit the stuntman as hard as he did. Weird movie though... needs to be watched with tongue firmly in cheek.

[@cjaymcswain7057]

Wow really? I didn't know that lol that's funny as hell 😂😂

[@lalareal180]

lol... Saw this in theaters, as a very young kid, with other young neighbor hood friends(parents had no idea, nor paid attention to the reviews lol) Loved the movie, as a young kid the tension and fear were released over the funny parts. Such a roller coaster. When Fool was electrocuted by the doornob or when he punched the dog in the face... BUT that chimney scene when "Mother' stands up dishelved and nose filled with ash, etc says the random CACA, the whole row of us kids cracked the hell up over that random line. Then again and again when when it came out and we re-watched it on VHS over and over. lol

[@angelicjames]

I use to love this movie as a teenager 😭 The Hills Have Eyes, both 1 & 2, would be good.

[@bmarty748]

Loved!! the hills have eyes as a teen but scenes in both movies dont sit well with me as an adult like yall really had to out that in here

[@SnappingTurtle801]

I'm so glad someone checked this out. I hasn't seen it since 91ish. Im looking forward to a great recap. I think it was really freaky

[@jamedraa8472]

Please consider GOTHIKA (Halle Berry, Charles S. Sutton, Robert Downey, Jr.)

[@goldbrooks]

I went to school with that kid Brandon Adams he was in a lot of stuff, but this definitely stands out. Also this is based on a true story of a crazy couple hiding adopted kids in their closet walls...

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

Wow what school

[@smoomook]

What true story?

[@DanJackson1977]

"Mom" and "Dad" were cast because Wes Craven loved them as a couple on David Lynch's "Twin Peaks".. although in that show their relationship wasnt as.. incestuous. Amazing series btw.. worth checking out.

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

I forgot about that they deffently did

[@jeremyblackwater439]

“Yes Curtis..they’re passive creatures “😂

The WHOLE movie was a metaphor/commentary on President Ronald Reagan's America in the 1980s. You can see it in the narrative and even the main two characters look.

[@secludedmisanthrope6388]

I remember seeing this in theatres. It got so dark so fast, and it made quite a few people in the theatre get up and walk out because it made them feel sick or it really offended them. I thought it was amazing! You couldn't help but be in Fool's corner and the "Couple" seemed like the kind of people you'd find in a sadistic version of Leave It to Beaver, if it were mixed with an episode of Double Dare, in Hell. The writers made it so easy to hate those people...

[@OrochiFlamez]

This movie is brilliant allegory for gentrification and how the rich hoard all the wealth they'll never spend just os the rick can't get ahead. Hell, "Daddy" was even made up to look like Ronald reagan just to help get the point across. This movie is such an underrated gem and one of Wes Craven's forgotten classics.

[@SparkleP8nter]

I've always loved this movie. Fun fact #1: The evil couple Ma & Pa are also a married couple on the show Twin Peaks. Fun Fact #2: "the boy in the wall" was casted on the show Superstore, they had a "very special Halloween episode" (at least for me, an Easter Egg maybe) that ties back to this in a way. 😁 As "the guy in the wall" Sad Fact: this actually happens. Like the Turpin Children. I pray for anyone who grows up in a home so evil
