Really? Why would they make such a vicious gory violent movie in the middle of an ongoing USA-border crisis stereotyping races and scaring the heck out of undocumented workers?
In addition painting whites as sadistic cruel people which isn't true. ALL PEOPLE MATTER and this movie - while edgy and suspenseful - adds salt to the wounds of political divide. There are good and bad in all races. God help us all.

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).
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.
Not a bad film, acting very good plot line good, main actress a bit of a dominatrix type and quite scary. Lots of better horror films out there but give it a go.........
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.
