Okay, I saw this movie about fourteen years ago. The movie itself was probably made somewhere in the 80's (maybe late 70's or early 90's)-judging from the music and clothes.
I remember a girl (maybe even several kids) incarcerated in the basement of a huge house and a small African-American boy trying to rescue her. The antagonists are an odd couple (a man and a woman) who appear "conservative" and somewhat normal, but of course they have these kids locked-up in their basement. Also, they dress up in leather (late at night) and own a big black dog, which is killed toward the end of the movie.
There was a lot of suspense-the kid(s) try to escape from the house but the man of the house tries to "hunt" them down before they leave. The house seems to be heavily fortified.
The music sounds a bit like Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
Lastly, there is a scene I remember in which one of the kids makes it to the attic. Once there a big black dog starts to chase him. While this happens the man accidently kills the dog believing he was stabbing the kid.
Please help me find the title of this movie!
