The People Under the Stairs (1991)

In every neighborhood there is one house that adults whisper about and children cross the street to avoid.

Poindexter Fool Williams, his brother Leroy, and their family face eviction from their rented home in South Central Los Angeles. Their landlords are a greedy, uncaring couple who live in a mansion that's as huge as it is eerie. Leroy has a plan to burglarize the mansion, but what the boys find inside is not what they expected.
