Get ready for a chilling cinematic experience! The upcoming horror film, 'Undertone', starring Nina Kiri, has just unveiled its second trailer, intensifying the buzz surrounding this A24 production.
But here's the twist: Nina Kiri, known for her role as Alma in 'The Handmaid's Tale', is stepping into the spotlight as the lead in this eerie tale. The film's release date, March 26th, is fast approaching, and the anticipation is palpable. The first trailer, released four weeks ago at the bewitching hour of 3 a.m., left viewers intrigued, and now the second trailer has arrived, also in the dead of night, adding to the mystery.
Writer and director Ian Tuason is making waves with his feature debut, a chilling story that caught the attention of Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster. Tuason's unique vision has already secured him the director's chair for the next 'Paranormal Activity' installment. However, not everyone is singing its praises. JoBlo's Chris Bumbray, after watching it at the Sundance Film Festival, gave it a lukewarm 5/10 review, sparking debate among fans.
And here's where the plot thickens: 'Undertone' tells the story of a podcast host, Evy, who delves into the paranormal. When she receives audio recordings of a pregnant couple's paranormal encounters, she discovers parallels to her own life. Kiri's performance is a standout, as she carries the film with her captivating presence. The film's immersive sound design, described by Tuason as 'found audio', is a key element, creating a haunting atmosphere.
Tuason's statement reveals his intention to create a horror film that 'engulfs' the audience in fear, drawing from his personal experiences as a caregiver. The film explores the power of storytelling and how it can manifest our deepest fears. Produced by Dan Slater and Cody Calahan, with an impressive list of executive producers, 'Undertone' promises to be a bold and unnerving experience.
Calahan's and Slater's comments emphasize the film's raw and unfiltered approach to fear, praising Tuason's willingness to delve into personal experiences. This production also marks the start of a thrilling collaboration between KINO Studios and Black Fawn Films, with plans for more horror and thriller projects. Daril Fannin, CEO of KINO Studios, praised Kiri's performance, calling the film a psychological horror that lingers.
