Beneath Us All trailer: vampire film reunites People Under the Stairs cast members

Thirty-one years ago, Sean Whalen and Yan Birch played Roach and The Stairmaster, respectively, in the Wes Craven film The People Under the Stairs (watch it HERE). Now director Harley Wallen has reunited the Craven movie’s cast members for his upcoming vampire film Beneath Us All. You can watch the trailer for the new movie in the embed above!

Scripted by Bret Miller, Beneath Us All centers on

Julie, a foster child heading for her 18th birthday. She finds an item buried in the woods with something unspeakable inside.

Julie is played by Angelina Danielle Cama (An Intrusion). Also in the cast are Maria Olsen (Paranormal Activity 3), Kaiti Wallen (Eternal Code), Michael Alexander (Moving Parts), and Wallen himself. Sean Whalen plays Todd, Julie’s step father, who struggles with his gambling issues.

Wallen had this to say about casting Whalen and Birch:

It felt good and overdue to reconnect Roach and The Stairmaster for the first time since their iconic performances in Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs.”

Beneath Us All was shot in Lake Orion, Michigan back in April, and hasn’t secured a distribution deal just yet. Wallen says they do “have some pretty solid offers to consider already”. Wallen produced the film with Michael Alexander of Westside Warrior Films, his wife Kaiti Wallen of Painted Creek Productions, Annette Cama of Cama Productions, and Joe Williamson of The Williamson Management Company.

This isn’t the only Harley Wallen movie we’re looking forward to here on Arrow in the Head, as we’ve also been covering his “raw and violent” urban legend thriller Ash and Bone. That one is heading toward a theatrical and home video release courtesy of Deskpop Entertainment.
