#114 - Undertone (Spoiler Review) 18.04.2026 23minThe much hyped Undertone is here so what did it get so right and so wrong?I'm here to take you through the entire plot, trailer, posters and all the missed opportunities.Undertone is a 2025 Canadian supernatural horror film written and directed by Ian Tuason, in his directorial debut.The film stars Nina Kiri as Evy, a woman who hosts a paranormal podcast with her friend Justin (Adam DiMarco), where she is the skeptic to his believer.After Evy moves back home to become the caregiver to her dying mother (Michèle Duquet), she and Justin are sent recordings of a married couple (Keana Lyn Bastidas and Jeff Yung) experiencing paranormal noises in their home, drawing Evy into fear and paranoia.Evy and her mother are the only characters to be shown on-screen in the film. All other characters are heard as off-screen voices, thus conveying the film's horror through its sound design.Undertone premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival on July 27, 2025, and was theatrically released in the United States by A24 on March 13, 2026, and by VVS Films in Canada.The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing $20 million against a budget of $500,000.The film was inspired in part by Tuason caring for his parents in the early 2020s as they faced terminal cancer.It began as a radio play before evolving into a film screenplay that incorporated some of Tuason's own experiences, and was shot in his own childhood home.The film was shot in February 2025 with production taking place in Rexdale, a neighbourhood in Toronto, Canada. Tuason said, "I'm relying entirely on the audience to make that up in their own head. Because I thought about hiding stuff like Mike Flanagan does. But then I watched The Babadook, and I just saw a jacket hanging on an old rack, and I said, 'That's enough. I won't do anything. I'll just hang a jacket on a chair.'"Chapters00:00 Introduction01:14 Reviewing Undertone03:15 Undertone Plot (SPOILERS)14:15 What Undertone Got RIGHT16:22 What Undertone got WRONG18:36 The Posters19:31 Trailer20:52 Missed opportunity to do a tie-in podcast series22:04 Final verdict and score22:53 Thank you for watching23:20 Backmasking examplesFollow the Complete Guide to Horror Movies podcast on our social channels below.↪ TikTok↪ Twitter↪ Facebook↪ Instagram↪ Subscribe to our YouTube channel↪ Shop our Store!↪ Tip us $5↪ Linktree↪ Letterboxd#undertone #a24 #iantuason #blumhouse #ninakiri #adamdimarco

PrimateRemember the opening scene of NOPE with the monkey? Well this is pretty much a full length movie inspired by that. This has received positive reviews which is surprising given that this movie is being released in the dumpster month aka January. 14. We Bury the DeadI did a no spoiler review of this so I’ll keep it short. We Bury the Dead is an Australian filmed zombie survival horror flick. I gave this a positive review so add this to your list if you’re a fan of zombie horror.13. WhistleThe director of The Nun Corin Hardy is back, this time with a horror flick focused on the aztec death whistle.12. Dooba DoobaFound footage is back! Dooba Dooba follows Amna, an awkward 16 year old babysitter as she arrives for what she assumes will be a typical babysitting gig. She realizes she’s very mistaken when she learns that Monroe, the girl she’s babysitting, is not only sixteen, but suffers from severe anxiety after having watched her brother get murdered when she was a child. 11. Send HelpRachel McAdams aka Regina George is back! This time she plays Linda Liddle, a mistreated woman who endures the day to day misery of her sexist boss Bradley but the situation changes when a plane crash strands them on a deserted island in a desperate fight for survival. Oh and did I mentioned this is directed by Sam Raimi? You'll have to watch or listen to the episode to find out the Top 10 upcoming horror movies.At this stage, there are still no firm release dates previously announced horror sequels including Thanksgiving 2, Smile 3, Final Destination 7 and Paranormal Activity 8. The same goes for previously announced films that were then delayed but are now being rebooted like SAW and The Exorcist.#2026horror #horror #scream #scarymovie #review #podcast
