This "Eat the Rich" Horror Movie Turns Class Struggle Into Carnage — and You’ll Love What Happens to the 1%
Horror movie Concrete Plans never sets out to be a satirical takedown of the 1%, but its plot and characters get there in a natural, believable way.

Althoughhorror about class status isn’t anything new, most modern versions tend to have a satirical or at least blackly comedic bent alongside their horror; the scene from The Menuwith "The Mess" course created by poor Jeremy is a great example. But a small British film from 2020 is an interesting deviation from that method, because instead of creating a satire, it feels more like a "heist gone wrong" crime thriller akin to Panic Room or Reservoir Dogs, mixed with an overall "eat the rich" philosophy.Concrete Plansputs the modern class war under a microscope, forcing the ideologies and prejudices of a well-off landowner and a rough-and-tumble, working-class construction crew to butt against each other until the hostility between them explodes into shocking, tool-based violence. But director Will Jewell makes the fight between the rich and the rest just the beginning, as some of the crew members are only looking out for themselves, ensuring that the social commentary doesn't come at the expense of tension and terror.
