Slaterverse Pictures and Black Fawn Films have unveiled the atmospheric new trailer and theatrical poster for The Undertone ahead of its sold-out world premiere at Fantasia.
Nina Kiri (The Handmaid’s Tale, Fingernails), Michèle Duquet (The Virgin Suicides, Goosebumps), and Kris Holden-Ried (Underworld: Awakening, The Umbrella Academy) star.
The Undertone follows 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.
The new horror movie marks the feature film debut of writer/director Ian Tuason.
“I think what makes this movie powerful, beyond its elements of horror, is the deep and vulnerable place it came from,” explains star Nina Kiri. “It takes a lot of courage to write something based on a painful and terrifying experience. Ian’s openness, combined with the entire crew’s receptivity, created not only an amazing experience for me, but also an important and compelling story.”
“This film was born from the grief and love I carried for my mom in her final days,“ explains Tuason. “To return home to Montreal where I was born and world premiere this film for Fantasia audiences – it feels like things have come full circle in the most magical way.
