Everything about this flick is poor. The acting, the screenplay, the groan-worthy plot holes (not that there's much plot), the cheap prosthetics, the amateurish score, the characters knowing things they had no way of knowing in an attempt (that fails) to make the ending matter somehow. And why Vikings? The silliness about Vikings and vampires that starts this abomination is a potent of bad things to come.

But hey, they've answered the burning question "What is ET was a thousand year-old Viking bloodsucker?"

Run. Run far. Run fast.

Most of the reviews here are too positive along the lines of 'work of art'. It isn't. It's amateurish.

The scenes, the music, and the acting... they all just seem amateur level. I would only recommend watching this if you want to support upcoming actors and crew with low budget or if you are in to this kind of production.

But if you're looking for good quality production, then this is not it. As far as the story goes, it was good. With the right budget and production values it could have been a great movie.

There are couple of scenes where something important just suddenly happens in a second and you get the feeling that the scene was cut short for some reason. Like I said, it's an amateur movie.

Of course I hadn¨t heard about this 2023 horror movie titled "Beneath Us All", prior to sitting down and watching it. However, with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to watch it, as I do enjoy horror movies quite a lot.

Bret Miller wrote a somewhat dull and mundane storyline and script for the movie. I have to admit that I found the narrative in the movie to be a bit slow and pointless, and thus it was difficult to enjoy this movie from writer Bret Miller and director Harley Wallen. And the storyline itself was just somewhat poorly written and constructed, with elements and things happening throughout the 91 minutes that the movie ran for somewhat odd and strange.

It should be noted that the acting performances in "Beneath Us All" were actually adequate. Sure, it wasn't impressive acting performances, but for a movie of this caliber, then the acting performances were fair enough. There were only two familiar faces on the cast list for me, and that was Sean Whalen and Maria Olsen.

Visually, then there weren't anything to write home about here, as "Beneath Us All" wasn't a movie that made use of a lot of special effects or CGI.

If you are a horror fan, then "Beneath Us All" is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this ordeal, so you don't have to.

My rating of director Harley Wallen's 2023 horror movie "Beneath Us All" lands on a two out of ten stars.
