Corrected entry: Since Roach has been able to elude Daddy for so long, why couldn't he take a few sticks of the dynamite in the house, rig up the front door blowing it open, and set all of the People under the stairs free?

The People Under the Stairs (1991)
Corrected entry: When Fool escapes from the house and calls the police there is an army of cops and child protective service people there yet not one of them even thinks to search the basement or the scorched bullet ridden upper floors of the house.
Correction: Remember, Fool broke into their home. If they tell the cops that,he loses credibility.

The People Under the Stairs (1991)
Corrected entry: When the police and child protective services people are in the house after Fool escapes and calls them to report abuse, he somehow winds up hiding in a kitchen cabinet while they're there. Why doesn't he just show the cops where the basement prison is?
Correction: Not to sound racist or anything but think about it. Even if Fool did do that who would the cops believe? The white couple that owns the house or an african american boy who knows about the secret only because he broke into the house?
The police probably would, at least, check out Fool's story, but it's likely he'd assume the police wouldn't believe him.
Correction: Roach has been living in a cell and in the walls his entire life. He would have no idea how dynamite works, let alone the mental capacity to conceive such a plan.
