Beneath Us (I) (2019)
7/10
Simplistic, but grounded in reality
23 January 2020
This 'America' horror has been done before and arguably better in the likes of Get Out. It's also not a very original kidnap movie -the plot is straightforward and the 'cat and mouse' plot is very predictable.

It's saving grace is that Beneath Us strikes a realistic chord, making it a worthwhile watch. Lynn Coles' dramatics aside, this could genuinely happen. Even some of the reviews on IMDB indicate some of the issues in society (how can human slavery ever be branded 'too political' and 'boring'?!)

All of above aside the film has passable direction, shocks and acting. It's not worth owning the DVD but you should watch it if it's on the TV.
