Undertone horror film utilizes auditory terror and podcast themes

The horror film “Undertone” utilizes auditory terror to drive its narrative, focusing on Evy Babic, a paranormal podcast co-host played by Nina Kiri. While caring for her dying mother, Babic and her co-host Justin, voiced by Adam DiMarco, receive ten anonymous audio recordings. These clips document a man recording his partner talking in her sleep, with each subsequent recording becoming increasingly disturbing.

The film is noted for its stylistic choice to visually depict only two characters, with all other figures appearing only through voice-over. While some critics praise its ingenious use of sound and isolation, others suggest the conclusion relies on familiar genre clichés.
