Where to Watch Undertone
- Corey BurkesApril 14, 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.
- B3ansy7d agoI mentioned in my other review about A24 making “bold/risk taking theme/genres” and well they made a risky move that turned out to be not worth the time. It’s like summoning Bloody Mary but over a podcast. That’s all i can say. Though as i love the movie production, there’s always going to be ‘that one movie’.
- Doc WormMarch 15, 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.
- ZokkiieJune 16, 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.
- Mariusz803April 28, 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.
