A apresentadora de um popular podcast sobre o paranormal começa a ser perseguida por gravações aterradoras que lhe são enviadas misteriosamente.
- Corey Burkes14 de abril de 2026Lord 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.
- Garrett Wilkinshá 5 diasUndertone demonstrates how far a compelling idea and disciplined filmmaking can stretch a modest budget. Writer-director Ian Tuason builds his debut around an inspired premise: a paranormal podcast host caring for her dying mother begins receiving increasingly disturbing audio recordings whose haunting events begin mirroring her own reality. Rather than relying on elaborate visuals or conventional jump scares, the film places extraordinary confidence in its sound design, allowing unseen voices, subtle distortions, and oppressive silence to generate much of its unease. Nina Kiri anchors the film with a restrained performance that convincingly conveys mounting isolation and psychological exhaustion, while Tuason's decision to keep nearly every other character off-screen gives the story an intimacy that distinguishes it from more traditional supernatural horror. Unfortunately, Undertone never develops that remarkable premise into an equally compelling narrative. Once the central mystery is established, the film falls into a repetitive rhythm that gradually diminishes the effectiveness of its otherwise exceptional sound design, and its final act struggles to deliver a payoff worthy of the tension that precedes it. I found myself admiring the craftsmanship more than becoming fully invested in the story itself. Even so, this is the kind of ambitious independent horror that deserves appreciation for attempting something genuinely distinctive rather than settling for familiar genre formulas. It may rank among the lesser entries in A24's horror catalog, but its creative use of sound and unwavering commitment to its central concept make it an intriguing debut that leaves me more interested in Ian Tuason's future than completely satisfied by this particular film.
- Doc Worm15 de março 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.
- Zokkiie16 de junho de 2026I was genuinely impressed by this, especially considering the movie was made with such a small budget. It’s a great example of how atmosphere and creativity can matter more than expensive effects. The film creates a constant sense of unease, with a creepy feeling that sticks throughout. I found myself paying attention to every corner and every shot because it does a great job making you feel like something could be lurking anywhere. The biggest weakness is the final 20 minutes, where some of that carefully built tension starts to fall apart. It becomes more chaotic and loses the momentum it had going, making the ending feel a bit weaker than everything that came before. Still, the overall experience is much stronger than I expected. A genuinely creepy, well-crafted horror movie that gets a lot out of very little.
