Today we revisit the 1991 Wes Craven horror classic: The People Under The Stairs.

Filled with startlingly frank class and race politics, the film follows a young poor black boy threatened with eviction who burglarizes his landlords—only to find them imprisoning their failed offspring in the basement.

Has any other horror movie featured a tenants’ union? Was this the inspiration for Home Alone or Nothing But Trouble? What will the comments have to say about such a politically charged film??
