A24 Unveils Trailer for Sound-Driven Horror ‘Undertone,’ Sets March 13 Theatrical Release

Ian Tuason’s feature debut uses a ‘found audio’ format that drew raves at Fantasia, propelling him to a Paranormal Activity reboot gig.

Overview

  • The story follows a skeptical paranormal podcaster caring for her dying mother who receives ten recordings from a young couple that eerily mirror her life.
  • The film will screen in Sundance’s Midnight section this month following its Fantasia premiere.
  • A24 acquired the movie in a mid-seven-figure bidding war after its debut at the Fantasia International Film Festival.
  • Nina Kiri stars as the only on-screen character, with other performers heard primarily as unseen voices to emphasize the sound-driven approach.
  • Undertone marks Ian Tuason’s writing and directing debut, and he was tapped in December to direct the next Paranormal Activity reboot from Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.
