A24 has officially released the trailer for Undertone, a psychological horror thriller set to land in theaters on March 13. Directed by Ian Tuason in his feature debut, the film arrives with significant festival buzz following its premiere at Fantasia International Film Festival. The trailer teases a claustrophobic, sensory-heavy experience that weaponizes sound design to build dread, marking another experimental entry in the studio’s formidable genre catalog.
The narrative centers on Evy (Nina Kiri), a skeptical paranormal podcast host who retreats to her childhood home to care for her dying mother. Her isolation is shattered when her co-host Justin (voiced by Adam DiMarco) sends a batch of ten mysterious audio files from a pregnant couple documenting a haunting. As Evy analyzes the tapes, the auditory disturbances begin to bleed into her own reality, blurring the line between digital noise and supernatural threat.
Joining Kiri and DiMarco in the cast are Michèle Duquet, Keana Lyn Bastidas and Jeff Yung.
Watch the trailer above. Undertone hits theaters March 13.
