FLOWERS IN THE STAIRS

After my post about Bad Ronald I thought I should bring up The People Under The Stairs, as it was how I found out about Bad Ronald in the first place.
I can remember being with a good friend in a Blockbuster in Kentish town when we both spotted this movie sitting provocatively on the blue moulded shelves. It was directed by Wes Craven in 1991, and stars the party girl from my so called life as the abused daughter of Ed and Nadine Hurley from Twin Peaks! Enough of a reason to watch this weird underrated creepy mess.
Blurb "The People Under the Stairs is the story of a young boy (Fool) from the ghetto and takes place on his 13th birthday. In an attempted burglary (along with two others) of the home of his family's evil landlords, he becomes trapped inside their large suburban house and discovers the secret of the "children" that the insane brother and sister have been "rearing" under the stairs."
