• Proving once again that horror doesnt have to be heartless!
  This movie deals with child abuse of the worst kind to the point of turning in this case (stolen kids) into cannibalistic, tongue-less, black eyed (from lack of sun and constant confinment to the cellar) and full of hate.

  i normally enjoy horror films,even if they are cheesy, but this was a poor excuse at horror and i wish i'd never watched it, let alone bought it. It was more funny than scary and even the funny bits weren't really funny!!!i thought it was a poor excuse from the great man they call wes craven!

  When I first saw this in the shop I thought yes that looks scary nd surely it must be if it's wes craven but ive seen a lot of scary movies nd it takes a lot now to scare me nd this just didnt produce,unfortunately
  it lacked in charisma and the people under the stairs werent as frightening as you would expect but apart from that acting was good script was decent I suppose but if youre like me and like wes craven then buy it see what you think yourself.
