WOW! I kept waiting for the director to get something set up and then GO in that direction...But, I waited, and waited.. And nothing. A big nothing burger of a movie, this is a LOVELY IDEA, but the execution lacks a construct to keep ones interest. The acting is top notch to be sure, but, it seems wasted on a nowhere script and a confused director. Not being able to choose between going the way of "haunted audio …

The scares do not engage in this movie. It is understated, but far too much to actually pull you in. And since the characters are not worth engaging with, you don't care enough about them to build any true stakes. No true stakes means there can be no true horror. The cast is well directed, but it is too slow to hold interest, and even the ending is a bit of a convoluted mess. I would not recommend this.

The idea was interesting, but first of all movie was very slow. You're waiting that something gonna happen, but nothing scary happens. I think execution was not very good for this kind of movie. Could have been better in my opinion. Overall, it was boring to watch.

‘UNDERTONE’ utilizes sound to a bone-chilling degree. It’s one of the most unique horror films in years that focuses on what you can’t see on screen. Find out more in our review... discussingfilm.net/2026/03/12/u...

Saw Undertone on HBO Max. Any character in a #horror film who's a professional skeptic, gets their comeuppance because--horror film. As a skeptic, I roll my eyes. But this is a well made, cleverly written, sharply edited film, which successfully builds up dread...fear in an undertone.
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 202 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 10, 2026. Method

neutral · AI labelView post →Ian Tuason's A24 nightmare UNDERTONE scared up $9.3 million in its opening weekend at the box office. The production budget? Just $500,000! A24 acquired the low budget horror film last year for a reported mid seven figures. Up next for Ian Tuason? Paranormal Activity 8!

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Undertone (2025), a movie about a podcaster dealing with a dying mother, a pregnancy, and a series of audio clips sent via a mystery person that provide an account of demonic possession. Good use of tension and camera work, and audio of course. I was a bit confused by the last scene though.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve never cried from fear while watching a horror film until now. “Undertone” is the scariest movie I’ve ever seen. As someone whose job involves wearing headphones, I felt everything in my bones. This movie NEEDS to be seen in theaters. I loved it
positive · AI labelView post →Last four watched… -‘Masters of the Universe’ (2026) -‘Undertone’ (2025) -‘Snake Eater’ (1989) -‘Death Force’ (1978) A juvenile, but very fun adventure film. 👍 A great ghost story, but a disappointing climax. Lorenzo Lamas… Unfortunately. And an action packed, Samurai-ish melodrama.

neutral · AI labelView post →Saw UNDERTONE, the new, overtly faith based demonic possession flick from A24 that seems designed to scare young women into the arms of conservative Christianity. A lot of folks are digging the film, but I found it drearily po faced and exceedingly stupid without any redeeming weirdness/WTF-ness.

neutral · AI labelView post →a fun free piece to close out the week. this new movie Undertone is coming out today, and its depiction of the noble art of podcasting drove me to apoplexy.
negative · AI labelView post →Watched Undertone in Dolby Vision/Atmos and yes - the sound mix is worthy of the hype! Great stuff. The movie, as a whole, is good…but it gets a little repetitive at the halfway mark. Having said that, the film still plays well with a crowd. #LastFourWatched #Letterboxd #LetterboxdFriday #Filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Undertone: Nina Kiri and Adam DiMarco are podcasters listening through a series of mysterious recordings in this minimalist Canadian horror film, set entirely in one location and with only two on-screen characters. A very slow burn, with the cinematography and sound design doing most of the work.

neutral · AI labelView post →A hell of a movie to watch right before Mother's Day weekend! 😂 Undertone (2026) is a supernatural horror movie about a horror podcaster who's "true stories" get a little more true than she bargained for. It's got a compelling setup, a spinechilling sound design, and I dug it. 👍

neutral · AI labelView post →The new horror film Undertone may not have the formal innovation of The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity, but I think it's in the same ballpark. Either way, I can't remember the last time I was so creeped out. My @spectrumculture.bsky.social review.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Undertone, which is about the evils of podcasting.
neutral · AI labelView post →For my cake day, I went to a matinee showing of the new film “Undertone” (2026). Bizarrely, it was billed as a “toddler-friendly” showing, which is a bold claim when the film genre is horror. (As an aside, I’m giving “Undertone” 4/5 pentagrams. Great, creepy film.)
