Writer-director Ian Tuason makes his feature debut on undertone, which earned him a gig helming the new Paranormal Activity movie.
Dolby Cinema provides a Dolby-designed environment that showcases the best implementation of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. With the combined experience of Dolby Vision picture and Dolby Atmos immersive sound, Dolby Cinema allows audiences to see, hear, and feel the film exactly as filmmakers intended.
“undertone plunges audiences into a terrifying soundscape and partnering with A24 to bring this chilling cinematic experience to Dolby Cinema allows audiences to experience every whisper, silence, and scream in Ian Tuason’s film,” said Dolby Laboratories’ Jed Harmsen.
He continues, “Immersive Dolby Atmos sound will reveal greater details in each scare in this auditory horror film while the precision of the Dolby Vision picture quality provides sharper clarity in the darkness, making a suspenseful experience like no other.”

undertone premiered at last year’s Fantasia Film Festival, igniting a seven-figure bidding war, and made its US debut at Sundance last month.
