'Evy' (Nina Kiri) is having an hard time caring for her bed-ridden and comatose mother and her only distraction is a regular podcast she co-hosts with her friend 'Justin'. That deals with all things spooky, with him being the more open-minded and she the sceptic. This week, he has received an enigmatic email containing ten voice notes.

WOW!

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.

Ian Tuason's UNDERTONE is an unforgettable audio-centric debut that boasts a powerhouse performance from Nina Kiri and some of the most suffocating, brilliant sound design I've experienced in years. However, its incredibly fresh podcast-driven concept eventually gets trapped in a repetitive narrative loop and safe,…
