Undertone Ratings & Reviews
- Billyhimehace 22 hVery good for a low budget movie
- andrewturner11hace 23 hVERY GOOD. This slow burn is worth the investment of your time. It has been a while since I have witnessed such an extreme shared tension on my end with the protagonist. I highly recommend this one.
- DTSaitohace 1 dWell done, kinda original (no gore no jump scares) horror; Turn up the volume (11)
- GrimeFiVideo17 de marzo de 2026Feature-length film about two friends who can't sit down for more than five minutes at a time to record a podcast. The best acting was from the mom who was in a coma the whole movie.
- jace.m3hace 1 dIt was so bad that I'm surprised I finished it.
- Niztradamushace 1 dIan Tuason’s Undertone is a masterclass in technical tension that ultimately collapses under the weight of its own pacing. While it offers a visceral "pregnancy horror" experience that will undoubtedly rattle its target demographic, for those outside that specific emotional orbit, the film struggles to justify its runtime. The Technical Highs The sound design is the film’s strongest asset. Undertone’s auditory landscape is meticulously crafted, creating an oppressive atmosphere that does the heavy lifting where the script falters. Tuason clearly understands how to use sonic space to build dread, proving he has the technical chops to compete in the genre. The Structural Lows However, the narrative momentum is nearly nonexistent. The film adopts a "slow-burn" approach but fails to provide the necessary friction to keep the audience engaged. A particularly egregious choice was the inclusion of a guided meditation sequence; in a film already battling a lethargic tempo, this felt less like a stylistic choice and more like a lullaby for the audience. The Payoff Problem The most significant failure lies in the resolution—or lack thereof. After enduring an agonizingly deliberate buildup, the film cuts to black just as it reaches the narrative "showdown." While ambiguity can be a powerful tool, here it feels like a withdrawal of the promised payoff. You are left to infer the climax rather than witness it, which, after such a slow trek, feels less like "high art" and more like an abrupt exit. Final Verdict Tuason has the vision and the technical toolkit, but the storytelling needs more time in the oven. Undertone proves that "slow" only works if the destination is worth the journey. In this case, the destination was a dead end.
- Doc Worm15 de marzo de 2026A haunted podcast? 🙄 This story just didn’t work for me. I wasn’t satisfied with where it ended up and that wouldn’t be so frustrating if it wasn’t such a slow burn. I was bought in for the most part as Undertone effectively conveys a sense of tension while moving through its plot. From a technical aspect the movie does so much with so little. Nina Kiri has a committed performance, the lighting is solid and the sound design is PHENOMENAL. If you do watch this one make sure you are doing so in a way that you can appreciate it’s Dolby atmos mix as this aspect of the film is truly special. With all the kudos I can give Undertone it made it that much more frustrating that I couldn’t get behind the tale it was trying to tell.
- r6novakhace 2 dIt could have been good, but it a huge build up to no ending.
- Corey Burkeshace 2 dLord Almighty, I never thought I’d see such a slow burn horror movie. I know it is trying to do and I totally get how audio can be a sensation, but long minutes on one character just to listen to audio is not the way to go. This film starts off well and it’s great if you want something playing in the background since the audio does its job that way, but looking at this movie will make you sleepy. It’s incredibly dull. And I think the core problem is it’s trying to make a feature-length out of something that could’ve been just done well as a short and left as a short. One last thought: it’s films like this that justify my appreciation for streaming versus going to the theater. If I went to the movies and paid upwards of $50 plus including concession, I would be pissed.
- Michielhace 3 dBoring, nothing interesting happening.
- ⋅˚₊‧ EVE ⋆* ‧hace 2 dbad but it scared tf outta me
- Rick14 de marzo de 2026I really wanted to love this. The atmosphere was great. The Dolby Atmos mix was one of the most effective I’ve ever heard. In the end it just didn’t do enough, and felt kind of like a cop out.
- nickawattshace 2 dI couldn't really tell what direction they were trying to go in with this movie. It wasn't very good and felt all over the place, almost like they were just throwing random ideas onto paper and reading them off.
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ20 de marzo de 2026Bit of a slow burn and may not be for everyone if you want constant action or thrills, but is a great psychological thriller that I found to be gripping all the way through. Great performance from Nina Kiri and the sound design is really impressive and sets the tone perfectly.
- Tyler Shace 3 dDoes for sound what Blair Witch did for found footage. An auditory experience perfect for the movies. The third act was pure insanity. Ian Tuason did a great job setting up the terror and delievers the goods. Nina Kiri holding the screen for nearly the whole runtime was fantastic and I can't wait to see what these two cook up next. Happy my fav genre gets a wide release in theaters 90% of the time no matter how low budget or big in scale it is. Highly Recommended! 👍👍 8/10
