Abaixo de Nós

I wouldn't describe this movie as a horror film though, it's a well directed thriller with interesting choice of music and some scenes turned out to be really mesmerizing as well as spooky. Sure it's political but it's done in a good way, the actors play their role pretty well and the story is intriguing, not boring even for a second. The storyline evolves in a quite realistic way, you don't notice at fist glance that the characters are being trapped in this house. Oh and of course I have to say that it's worth watching for the two main actors who are quite handsome (Alejandro and Memo).

Lynn "Goddess" Collins is the main reason for watching!

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.

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.

This movie focuses on the serious social and political problems arising from illegal immigration in the USA. There is no escaping this analysis. From there, each draws their conclusions according to their point of view. I believe it will affect even mood when giving a rate. White conservative Americans will love the way Latinos are treated, Latinos and liberal whites will revolt, and so on. Everyone knows that the problem exists and, despite the exaggeration, the movie portrays, in an alternative way, the reality.

Sadly , some americans would love to enslave illegal immigrants, especially latina, since most Americans don't wann do the work that Latinos accept to do cheaply out of necessity. The immigration problem will continue to grow no solution.

As for the movie, the production is poor, the interpretations almost amateur. But that is what matters least, because the matter is real and very serious.

The ending is redemptive for Latinos and should bother conservative whites.
