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.

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.

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.
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.
