“The Handmaid’s Tale” actress Nina Kiri will be the only on-screen character in The Undertone, Deadline reports.
Production on the indie horror feature just wrapped in Canada under writer-director Ian Tuason, making his feature debut.
Kiri stars as the host of an ‘all-things-creepy’ podcast who moves into her dying mother’s house to be her primary caregiver. When she receives audio recordings of a young pregnant couple experiencing paranormal noises, she realizes the woman’s story mirrors her own. Each new recording scratches at her sanity, drawing her into a fate she cannot escape.
Other known actors are expected to be added as voice over characters.
“With The Undertone, I’m crafting a horror experience that doesn’t just evoke fear—it engulfs you in it, using immersive sound design to make silence as terrifying as the unknown,” said Tuason. “Inspired by my own experience as a caregiver, the film explores how the stories we tell ourselves of fear, guilt, and isolation, can become the real horrors that haunt us.”
Slaterverse Pictures, Black Fawn Films, and Kino Studios produced the picture, marking the the first in a multi-film collaboration between Black Fawn and Kino to produce horror and thrillers.
