They always say Gene was the more snooty critic but this just shows they both had their moments. Ebert clearly had enough good things to say about People Under the Stairs but felt like he was above giving a recommendation. He did the same with Dumb & Dumber. I'm not surprised Gene recommended it because he was usually a sucker for stylish off-beat weird stuff like that.

I loved The People Under The Stairs. It is macabre, comedic, and a lot of fun if you like horror movies. I can understand why Roger couldn’t recommended it, but I would certainly recommend it if you are a fan of the horror movie genre. Yes the the scenes with the little girl in the bathtub and the little boy down underneath the stairs can be seen as repellent but there so much more with the story that I was totally entertained by it. Check it out.

I totally agree with Roger that the remake of Cape Fear is slightly better than the original and for me it boils down to one scene: in the original Gregory Peck’s attorney allows Robert Mitchum’s crook to live but in the remake Nick Nolte’s attorney does the right thing and makes sure that Robert De Niro’s crook gets the kind of death a rapist deserves.
@ricardocantoral76724 жыл бұрын
I don't see how that comparison elevates the 1991 film. The latter ending is the logical conclusion but that doesn't mean it is more compelling. Generally speaking, the 1991 film is a mess because each scene is crafted to showcase De Niro's ridiculous villain. When you put it all altogether, I just see these episodes with Cady and nothing flowing smoothly. The worst was the conclusion which was far too overblown though I enjoyed the fact that Nolte was horrified by his own actions.

SPOILERS!!! The thing Roger said about Cady talking too much when he should have been crazed with pain....that's true, but Cady's been presented to us as a man of incredible will and skill. He's like an evil James Bond. He magically shows up at places where Bowden and his family are and disappears just as quickly, he sneaks into Danielle's school without the staff noticing, he beats the crap out of a group of thugs with weapons hired to put him in traction, he gets into Bowden's house and silently kills two people, and he lashes himself to the underside of the family car when they flee the house and drive hundreds of miles to Cape Fear. So by the time they burn him up and he comes back, is there anything the movie throws at us that's too preposterous to believe? And the movie subtly implies that God is on Cady's side. He speaks in tongues before he drowns and then Bowden can't wash Cady's blood off his hands. It's biblical.
