Leave aside the overuse of "Thrilling Sound effects" it's a good Indie movie. The cinematography is great, the tension is present all over the movie - you really wanna kill that woman- and the message is good. It's good to see something new is the thriller scene, which became sadly empty the last couple of years in my opinion. It won't mark me, but it's just a bit of fresh air.

Aside from the political stance some people are taking about this film ("they took ourrr joooobbbssss"; South Park) it's actually a film you think you'd just watch but not be too bothered about it's got this strange pull which keeps you increasingly intrigued with what happens next. Very dark, very tongue in cheek at times but all the same worth a watch. Happy watching.

This films takes a real life scenario, undocumented immigrants working for below minimum wage to scrape a living, and turns it into a disturbed thriller. I won't go into details about the content, but I will say that the female lead is a total nut job! The scary thing about this film is the fact that it could happen, maybe even has to some degree. Reason for the 5 stars? Slow start, lack of depth in the "immigrant" characters and a poor finale. The film deserved more... a good story, but needed more.

The only thing I can say without giving away the spoilers, is that I have no doubt that something similar like this happened to people unfortunately. And the fact that we know how many folks think and feel in modern america, it makes this film all the more disturbing. To put it into perspective as best I can: I saw Get Out, and that movie was dumb, predictable and unoriginal. I saw Beneath Us, and this film was almost like a documentary or recreation of some likely, highly probable scenarios. It was not low budget, but the majority of the money was for the look of the film, lighting, and few makeup effects. Yet still it was good. 6/10 for this underrated thriller.

You know, they could have just made a movie about two psychos who hire day laborers and taunt/torture/kill them. It could've been entertaining. Instead, the director/producer/whatvever decided to add this ridiculous notion that somehow all white folks are scared, bigoted racists who hate illegals. It seeps through in everything, e.g. the way the third guy is killed and the laughably stupid talk show at the end where some white guy asks "well what's wrong with slavery?"

Thumbs down for another stupid SJW piece of garbage from the hypocrites in Hollywood.
