Horror movies tend to play better with headphones, and that’s certainly the case for this undertone teaser — which consists of over two minutes of distorted audio.
If you reverse the video’s sound, you’ll hear rendition of “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep” and a woman repeating “I pray for you,” along with various unintelligible voices and ominous sounds.
A24 will release the official trailer for the slow-burn horror film tomorrow.
It follows a paranormal podcast host who moves into her dying mother’s house to be her primary caregiver. When she receives audio recordings of a young pregnant couple experiencing supernatural noises, she realizes the woman’s story mirrors her own.
Each new recording scratches at her sanity, drawing her into a fate she cannot escape.
Writer-director Ian Tuason makes his feature debut on the film, which led to a gig helming the upcoming Paranormal Activity reboot.
Nina Kiri (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) stars as the only on-screen character, joined by the voices of Kris Holden-Ried (“The Umbrella Academy”), Michèle Duquet (The Virgin Suicides), Keana Lyn Bastidas (“The Hardy Boys”), and Jeff Yung (The Shrouds).
Slaterverse Pictures’ Dan Slater and Black Fawn Films’ Cody Calahan produce. Executive producers include Steven Schneider and Roy Lee for Spooky Pictures, Chad Archibald for Black Fawn, Brit MacRae and Daril Fannin for Kino Studios, and DimensionGate.
Joe Lipsett wrote in his 4.5-skull review, “I can’t remember the last time a movie made every hair on my body stand up, but undertone got me good.”
undertone premiered at last year’s Fantasia Film Festival, igniting a seven-figure bidding war. It will have its US premiere at Sundance later this month.
