People Under The Stairs
Year: 1991
Grade: C+
Country: USA
Director: Craven
Reviewvery average horror film overall. it’s notable because pulp fiction makes a reference to it: ving rhames is in the film and he finds himself in a house with a white couple, one of whom dresses in leather while rampaging through the house with a shotgun. pulp fiction references this with the ving rhames/bruce willis “zed” scene. there is a class/race dynamic here since the bad guys are actually the white slumlords who own the house and the eponymous “people under the stairs” are creepy, but really just victims of the true villains.
