   Is the people under the stairs a satire?

   • ...those shrieking, reaching victims will always stay with me. The People Under the Stairs may be as misshapen as the people who live in this basement, but it might be as subversive too. It’s both a nasty thriller and a concise satire of race and class in America.

   Is Craven's 'the people under the stairs' a classic?

   Is stairpeople trapped in the basement a zombie thriller?

   • The Stairpeople trapped in the basement are almost undead, which harkens to the zombie thriller genre. The true genius of Craven’s underrated story is the intersection between bizarre and candid. Woven into the utterly bonkers plot of this movie are stories and messages that reflect and comment on our very real society.

   Feb 16, 2022 · Craven’s movie provides a terrifying, satirical, and ultimately hopeful outlook on our society by mixing the seemingly juxtaposing elements of absurdity and reality. While it is a nice idea, it is hardly as simple as blowing up a house to revitalize underfunded and underrepresented people.
