Question: When I was younger, I saw a horror movie about a girl held captive by her parents. They also had other people locked in their basement and the captives became mutated. At the end a bomb goes off and all this money flies out into the streets, where the neighbors run around collecting it. I can't seem to remember the title.


Answer: It's horror veteran Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs (1991), in which Everett McGill and Wendy Robie play insane, incestuous siblings who keep a bunch of kidnapped children in their home. They've always wanted a "brother" for their "daughter," but none of the boys they kidnap are docile enough to play the part; they wind up mutilated, starved and abandoned in the basement.
