Auditory Horror ‘undertone’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home
After grossing over $19 million on a reported production budget of $500,000, undertone is now available to watch at home on Digital via A24.
Writer-director Ian Tuason makes his feature debut on the auditory horror film, shot on location at his childhood home in Toronto. Tuason will next helm the new Paranormal Activity reboot.
Nina Kiri (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) stars as Evy, 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.
Adam DiMarco (“The White Lotus “), Michèle Duquet (The Virgin Suicides), Keana Lyn Bastidas (“The Hardy Boys”), Jeff Yung (The Shrouds), and Ari Millen (“Orphan Black”) round out the cast.
Slaterverse Pictures’ Dan Slater and Black Fawn Films’ Cody Calahan produce. Executive producers include Steven Schneider & Roy Lee for Spooky Pictures, Chad Archibald for Black Fawn, Brit MacRae & 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, and made its US debut at Sundance in January.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
