Undertone Ratings & Reviews
- andar222−1 dMore of a "listen" than a "watch" Listen to it with surround sound and an open mind - couple good creepy scenes Not that I can do any better, but the ending could have been so much better / darker / creepier - a miss IMO!
- GrimeFiVideo17 mars 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.
- Flappy18 april 2026Oh my God if I could give this a negative rating I would. I don't know what I have to do to get the hour and a half back of my life. This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
- alexandr574−4 dThis is a good horror overall. Disappointing ending.
- Alex8 maj 2026Best creepy horror movie I've since It Follows.
- Paul Walsh8 maj 2026A heady horror film where sound is important and what you see may not be reliable. I found it an intriguing watch which made me think about it for a few days after viewing. Worth a spin!
- merrittwilson53919 april 2026Hands Down Scariest Movie This Year
- Goosebumper7 maj 2026There's some interesting use of negative space and great audio work. The plot however was nothing special.
- Mr. D4 maj 2026Movie felt like it would have run borderline enjoyable. Kinda came through? Probably depends on what level youre on but, despite the good audio and the creepy shit, it didn't hit entirely for me. Maybe another run will confirm or fix my disdain.
- Steven Wallace23 april 2026Movie was creepy as crap but wish the ending was better.
- Josh C3 maj 2026This was bland at best. I found myself getting antsy during the movie because it just didn’t hold my attention. An extreme slow burn of a movie while not having much of a payoff at the end. It needed much more excitement and thrills.
- Corey Burkes14 april 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.
- Doc Worm15 mars 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.
- Mariusz80328 april 2026If you like horror, even cheap horror, skip this. Absolutely nothing happens at all. At the very end, when something does, it's a black screen. The fact its got 6.2/10 on IMDB shows we're living in Idiocracy. This could be contender for worst movie of the year. We couldn't finish it in one sitting because it's too boring. 3/10 at best. Honestly there's scarier IG videos if you doom scroll. Really gotta stop making garbage like this.
- Niztradamus15 april 2026Ian 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.
