A24 has built a reputation for producing and distributing artistic, elevated and psychological horror films. “undertone” comfortably fits within that mold. A directorial debut from Ian Tuason, the film almost entirely relies on sonic elements and minimalist storytelling. Typical horror tricks such as jump scares are forgone, as the film’s slow-burn atmosphere makes audiences genuinely fearful instead of provoking easy scares. However, this extreme tension builds to a climax that doesn’t completely satisfy, making the end product uneven.
