An introduction to Undertone, the Canadian supernatural horror film written and directed by Ian Tuason and starring Nina Kiri and Adam DiMarco.

We cover direction, production design, location choices, and practical effects that contribute to its haunting atmosphere. We explore the film's sonic landscape—the whispers, the creaks, and the moments of absolute quiet that drive fear.
