Undertone…. :ohhh:

gotta watch this again. I put it on as not expecting much and was tired from the jump and would doze off at times to then all of a sudden :whoo:

this has potential to be top 3 horror movies of the year. Felt like I didn’t catch some scenes due to me looking :wow: on my couch From exhaustion..

I'm glad to find others who enjoyed it. I've been surprised it caught so much flak from people. Granted, it's hella experimental and demands viewers use a lot of imagination to pull it all together. But, I've got it head and shoulders above every other horror to drop this year, so far. I'm hoping May brings out some new contenders.

This year has had a lot of good and entertaining horror, but Undertone is the only one so far that I think really relies purely on being scary. Most of the other top horrors are half-action or half-comedy.

‘exactly. You can flip this movie ten other ways for what you think is going on too. You can’t watch it only once. Has to be more to catch other things throughout. I think there is room to do a second one also to explain more.

It's very similar, but I genuinely think They Will Kill You was a better Ready or Not sequel than Ready or Not 2.

In fairness, I liked Ready or Not 2 also. But They Will Kill You had better action, really cool cinematography, and a killer score (plus Zazie Beetz).

Yeah, this sort of story has a ton of room for expansion. If they have the budget to expand visually, they could insert research between podcast moments while still letting the auditory experiences lead the way.

I really hope auditory horror grows as a genre all-around. Fede Alvarez had a series on AppleTV that was called Calls, and it was pure audio. But it was REALLY cool and interesting, in spite of some flaws. That one had more of a sci-fi/aliens leaning to it. Which shows how flexible the genre can be. Pontypool and War of the Worlds had successful radio broadcasts too, so this feels like an untapped well that's been around for ages.

Had to cleanse my palate with some classics. Threw on Hell Raiser last night and I'ma watch Hell Raiser 2 next. It's crazy to think how far that series fell off because Hell Raiser is absolute cinema fam.
