Tom's Guide Verdict: 'Undertone'
- Rating: ★★½ stars
- Verdict: "Undertone" delivered a trailer full of promise and auditory delight. But while the movie manages to deliver thrills and chills, giving me goosebumps on several occasions, it's a slow burn that only delivers on its sensory potential at the movie's very end. Along the way, you have to sit through a surprisingly run-of-the-mill story, delivering an ultimately unsatisfying experience despite the clear filmcraft on display.
- Where to watch: See "Undertone" in theaters now
"Undertone" wasn't a movie on my radar to start the year. Despite gaining considerable buzz at the 29th Fantasia International Film Festival last year, my first encounter with this horror movie was when A24 dropped a trailer for it a few months ago.
