The premise

The American Dream becomes a nightmare for a group of undocumented day laborers hired by a wealthy couple. What they expect to be their biggest payday turns into a terrifying fight for survival.

Horror Vault's take

A group of undocumented day laborers believe they've landed the job of a lifetime when a wealthy couple hires them for what promises to be a lucrative payday. What begins as backbreaking but hopeful work quickly warps into something far more sinister, as the laborers realize their employers may have never intended to let them leave. Beneath Us weaponizes the desperation of the immigrant experience against its characters, turning the pursuit of a better life into a terrifying trap.
