Omg I'm so obsessed with this! Not only does The People Under the Stairs touch on actual tangible fears that still apply today, but it also shows how sociopolitical commentary in horror didn't just start with Get Out or Parasite 💖
This movie is one I watched frequently as a kid and even then it made an impression on me. I love that Wes and co. were able to balance relevant social commentary with the horror and suspense. Horror really is one of the best genres for social commentary when done right.
I also view this movie as a post-80's, dark American fairy tale/chivalric story. A young squire(Fool) sets off with two older knights (Spenser and Leeroy) to steal treasure from two dragons (Mommy and Daddy, who, like dragons, burn people's lives, hoard wealth jealously, and even use fire power as their main source of attack [the guns] and constantly express their desire to see people burn). The two mentor knights are killed, leaving only the squire in the dragons' lair, where he finds a maiden in the tower (Alice) and a helpful spiritual ally (Roach). The squire eventually gains some of the fortune, but returns again to save the maiden and slay the dragons once and for all. That the coins will get his mother the surgery she needs even ties into the treasure having a supernatural element (it's like a magical healing item).
I've lived in housing my whole life. Single parent and living on welfare. The stigma against poor people is real. Even though criminals and drug addicts are scary to see they are family members are its traumatic for everyone coming out of a life in the system. The government won't protect your family.
It's technically only a stigma around poor people of color. People visit Appalachia all the time and it's considered one of the poorest areas in America
@@6Shooter28 what I'm talking about is the fact that people visit Appalachia and don't judge people as quickly or as harshly as if they drove through an area where there are housing projects. People blame the destruction of the Rust Belt for some of the problems in Appalachia and don't blame the residents. Unfortunately, when people see poor people of color (usually in urban areas), they judge them for not pulling themselves out of poverty
people under the stairs is probably the movie from my childhood that i think about the most. i'm always shocked when i find out people haven't seen it.
My mom LOVED showing this movie to me as a kid because it frightened me so much! I wonder why she now is so surprised I’m anti capitalist. This is a great analysis, keep up the great work!
The consumerism of the 80s it's weird for me, because Peru was having an economical crisis so big that Venezuela situation is the best way of comparing the impact. In that context, it's ironic to see rise and obsession of mall here (there were only 2 malls but still 🤷🏽♀️) because only middle/upper class peruvians went there to buy things.
I really, really like how the villain pair are called Mommy and Daddy. Not only does it allude to the prosperity gospel tautology (wealth is tightly tied to being very hard-working/smart/blessed, so having a lot of money is proof that you deserve to have a lot of money) which has lead to millionaires and billionaires being considered something of a virtue elite and entitled, or at least best suited, to make decisions that affect thousands of people, whether through company management or politics. So the rich as the grand, enlightened, best knowing people, something like parental figures. But it also uses the childish language to suggest the infantilisation and agency minimizing of the common folk. Not only are the rich the "parents" that ought to be obeyed and respected, but the common folk are "children", and therefore actually need the direct involvement and governance of the rich. It also sounds a lot like when corporations appropriate familial language such as "we're all a big family here" or "don't think of me as your boss, think of me as a friend with more keys" to instil an emotional (guilt) aspect to accepting or refusing overtime, sudden schedule changes, or performing tasks not in the job description.
I was talking with a friend about how every business is rent-trapping. He said the kind of litigation it would take to change that would just take forever, that they would delay and delay and delay. The house in this movie is a metaphor for the inescapable environment of late capitalism: every door is a barrier, even the stairs are rigged, and the guard dog doesn't protect you, it protects the rich and powerful.
I came from F.D Signifier's channel, he said if you like Lindsey Ellis you will like Yhara Zayd. and he was right! I'm watching your older videos to catch up.
Man, my favorite movie of all time. I honestly hope a lot more people give it more attention because it really is a deep film when you sit back and think about it.
I watch this movie very often, it’s stuck with me from childhood. It’s a hidden gem with a great cast and great story that tells my fav cautionary tale.Thank you for making this video
7 months ago I stopped at 2:26 and said "I'm gonna go watch the movie first, then watch this video." Welp, it took me awhile to get around to the movie, but I saw it today, and now here I am! I really liked it. I forced my family to watch it with me to make better use of the $4 rental fee. Actually, that's kinda why it took so long, no one really wanted to watch at first so it took months of convincing, apparently 🙃 we also saw Ingrid Goes West a while ago. Your movie recs are immaculate 🙏
This was one of the few movies I paid to see twice in the theater when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it. Thanks for the rundown; this movie deserves more love.
Thank you. I couldn't figure out what made this movie so mean so much. I was never scared of this movie, it was sadness. I couldn't understand why this was or could happen. As I grew older I saw this as a reality. I thought people who could, would protect us from this injustice. These aren't rarity. They're reality.
I loved this movie as a kid, but didn’t really understand so much about it until I was older. Also, I’m happy I made it to one of your videos so soon after it was posted. Love your content!
I watched this movie when I was a child and just thinking about it scares me, to be honest. There are still scenes that are burned into my memory. Because I was a child when I saw it and it terrified me so bad, I never really revisited it. That being said, I was even wary of watching this video, but I'm incredibly glad I did. I would never have been able to look at this film under this lens or consider any of these themes with my adult brain. Thank you for your work on this thoughtful video.
I didn't know this movie before, but I saw that you made this and just watched it today before watching this. Such a great movie! Spooky in many ways and a great story. Happy Halloween!
I started this video when it came out, stopped it, put The people under the stairs on my wishlist for christmas and today I finally, finally watched it. And boy am I glad I did. It has such a fairy tale quality to it while being very hard-hitting as social commentary and a horror movie. Thank you for making this review.
If you lived through the 80s it didn't seem dystopian, it seemed fun. Parents were never home so you were on your own to go to the mall, arcades, theaters, parties, concerts etc. With no social media/internet/cell phone cameras, unless you did something MONUMENTALLY stupid there'd be no long term consequences. Cable TV was just starting to pop, so we could watch the movie channels and later the new music tv. If you were one of the cool kids who fit the social norms, with parents that had some disposable income life was great. Not so much if you were were anything else, but there was still fun to be had... It's not until we look back as adults in hindsight that you could see reality for what it was.
Gen-Xer here, can confirm, we didn't even know it was the beginning of the end. I think with my personal group of friends, we only really started to recognize what was happening in the 90s. Probably not a coincidence that this was when we all started college. Anyway, I remember seeing this movie in the theater and being so surprised by it, because it wasn't what I expected at all. First, it wasn't what I expected because it had this cheesy humor/camp thing that I wasn't prepared for -- I thought it was going to be straight horror (don't ask me why, with a title like that). Then as the themes revealed themselves, I remember being so invested in Fool's errand 🤣 and it was so much more compelling than just a silly slasher flick. I'm not exactly a fan of the trend of "rebooting" and remaking everything instead of releasing new original content, and I don't necessarily think this one needed to be remade, but I'm glad that the idea has at least brought attention to an old favorite that pulled no punches regarding class consciousness, racism and capitalism. Before talk of the remake, it would have been easy to convince myself that I'd imagined this movie... no one ever talked about it until this year.
I was looking for videos of yours I hadn’t watched yet but I think I’ll have to stop after your spoiler warning because it sounds like such a good movie!
One thing that was a huge influence on this movie was that the Rodney King riots happened during filming and Wes, being the person he was, wanted to lean into the scripts depiction of factors (other than the beating and the verdict) that led to something like that happening. Incidentally, Wes was also one of the few people in Hollywood Rose McGowan specifically cleared as “NOT a creep”. Just sayin’
Oh my god, I haven’t seen this movie in ages, literally since I was a kid (80’s baby speaking here) and it’s just now dawned on me that the villains are played by Ed and Nadine (from Twin Peaks!)!! This made me so weirdly happy, thanks for the trip down memory lane! And excellent work, as always! 😊
The Moment i saw the the title and people in the stairs i clicked immediately. I saw the movie on my local tv channels Saturday morning October horror movie marathons and its been more than a decade since that its always stuck with me and Is probably my favorite horror movie
This movie use to come on in the middle of the night when I was a middle schooler in the 90s. I was absolutely terrified, but watched it every time it came on.
Absolutely loved this movie as a kid and it’s still one of my favourite horror films. It was censored in my country, but I few years ago the full uncut film was finally published. Really need to rewatch it.
Mommy's actress was supreme. You know they did their job when you actually cheer when they are injured. I think Wes has some weird past to even come up with this...😅
Who are you and where did you come from?! I've just spent three hours binging on your videos and I'm not about movie review RUclipsrs but your content hits different. You go deep and get into those seemingly meaningless details. I'm here for it!
I watched the movie the other day after seeing the first couple of minutes of your video and it was a very interesting horror movie!!! I love your channel and the topics that you choose
I HAVEN'T WATCHED THE VIDEO YET BUT THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME AND I'M SO SO SO GLAD YOU MADE A VIDEO ABOUT IT AAAAAAHHH ^_^ - K IMA WATCH NOW THX
UPDATE: I WATCHED THE VIDEO AND IT IS EVERYTHINGGGGG, YOU NAILED THE EXPLANATION OF THE THEMES SO WELL. this movie is so culturally important, and was one of my first glimpses into wealth disparity as a kid (lord knows i wasn't learning about it in high school). great example of art as a mirror to reality, and i hope more people see it after watching this. Cheers
I finally saw this movie and used this as a chaser. You hit every nail on the head, I loved The People Under The Stars. Brava. One thing though, I think Bill Cobbs is still around.
All I remember from this movie is mommy and daddy (who completely haunted my dreams). I can’t remember anything else of this movie so I’ll have to watch this again! Thank you for your video (I had no idea it’s getting a remake)
Thanks for making this video! Gr at analysis! This is one of my favorite horror flicks. I have to admit I was also mesmerized because the star was black. It's extremely rare to see a black kid as the star of horror flick. I'm still waiting for Hollywood to make a great horror flick with a little black girl as the star. I remember seeing this commercial for some orange company that had a little black girl taken to some out of the way old mansion who visits two white girls who are twins who have a room full of creepy dolls. They want her to stay but she was outta there! I remember thinking that's a great concept for a horror!
brb gonna go watch the movie, you have me intrigued!! What a fantastic movie and video! I really enjoyed watching it and it is so important that it is still relevant!
Perfect video essay! The only way it could be better if is section titles were said aloud in addition to the title cards then I could hear them while doing housework without having to look over at the screen
thanks for bringing this movie to my attention. Especially since it will be getting a remake. I'm glad I was able to watch it without influence (other than i know you liked it)
1991 was still very much the 80s, culturally. The years didn't mark a dramatic shift. I was in sixth grade and acid was jeans and jean jackets were still in... for 11 year old me, anyway.

So incredibly happy to see someone talking about this film! And what fantastic insight.
I love The People Under the Stairs! It's one of my favourite Wes Craven films too. Great breakdown. 🎬
