The horror movie version of Home Alone. A fun adventure with some gory moments - I can't help but think it would be much stronger and darker if it were made today. As it is, the psychopaths over-acting makes them more comical than terrifying.

There are movies that I can't forget. This one is amongst them. Highly enjoyable. A Wes Craven at his top.

Fun movie. Never seen it, one of the hosts on Action Boyz always talks about it, I finally checked it out. For a horror film, it's funny how much gun action is in it. In an action movie, for sure, but for a spooky house movie I was surprised how much gunnin was going on. No complaints, just surprised.

A unique horror film that blends elements of comedy and suspense in a truly memorable way. The film is both entertaining and terrifying, and its unique approach to the horror genre sets it apart from other films in the genre. Ving Rhymes delivers a standout performance in his breakout role, showcasing his talent as an actor and setting the stage for the successful career that has followed. _The People Under the Stairs_ is a must-watch for fans of horror films who are looking for something a bit different from the typical offerings in the genre.
