A24's 'undertone' Premieres at Sundance

A new horror movie called 'undertone' was shown at the Sundance Film Festival.

It's different from other scary movies because it doesn't rely on jump scares or gory visuals.

Instead, it uses sound to create a creepy atmosphere.

The story is about a woman named Evy who hosts a paranormal podcast with her co-host Justin.

They receive mysterious audio files that seem to be connected to a pregnant couple experiencing strange and terrifying events.

Evy is also dealing with personal issues, like taking care of her dying mother and an unplanned pregnancy.

The movie is unique because it's mostly a one-woman show, with most of the action happening through sound and voiceovers.

The director, Ian Tuason, was inspired by his own experiences caring for his dying parents.

The movie is set to be released by A24 Films in March 2026.
