It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

In reading your review,you say both that you rather enjoyed the film,as well as mentioning to others that it was also made on a low budget- but I liked that you in no way held that against the films overall story line! I believe that it's often misleading to people,that if the films are made without any well-known movie companies & were also done on a low budget,that they must not be good in comparison to big company&budget backing.I find this untrue w/a lot of movies,where the various genres of films that were in fact low budget,etc.But their story lines were in fact very good ones.Even when the overall rating for the films,were also rated low.Along w/user reviews saying the movie was not worth making,due to the quality either isn't done 1st class or that possibly the acting wasn't good.I don't usually go by the reviews,as everyone has a different opinion,of course.I'll admit that some films I've seen,have in fact not been done the greatest,though felt that if the movie was executed a bit better it'd help immensely,because I felt the general movie "idea" being told had been great.Admittedly,I do even at times wish that some movies could've been better,if they did have the bigger backing.I know there has been movies that have had the double digit million dollar backing,yet only make back a fraction of that,half if they're lucky.But whether the films are made with low or on million dollar budgets,they equally can end up being great,or flops...

Beneath is a low budget independent feature and as such, it should not be compared with a hundred million dollar picture from a major studio.But let's be frank in saying many multi-million dollar films have come out dry and forgettable. Horrifying in their crapulence even. Dolph Lundgren's Direct Contact cost a supposed SIX MILLION and it came out as one of the worst films ever made.Judging Beneath by its minuscule budget and one man crew David Hollands, who also wrote and edited the film, it's a fantastic work of independent cinema.The story is intense enough to keep you looking at every corner of the screen for the next untrained moment and yet the tone is light enough to have you relax and enjoy the dialogue before the next gripping interval.
