Beneath Us (I) (2019)
5/10
Minor League Grindhouse

This B-movie thriller's title is more clever than the movie itself but it does have an interesting plot: a rich white couple who flips houses hires 4 Hispanic day-laborers to do all their upgrades but, it's not long before the men discover how twisted and racist the couple are and that they have more in mind than just cheap labor. The main problems with this film are the heavy-handed political messaging, over-the-top acting of the rich couple, and a poor script. The movie has failed attempts at dark comedy/morbid satire but it also has some tension to pull you along into wanting to see how it all plays out. Some people hated the ending but for a thriller/horror film it was satisfying enough for me. It definitely could have been a better film altogether but, IMHO, I've seen worse! 10/2020
