In the case of Ian Tuason’s directorial debut with Undertone, he taps into something that is far more primal. Our podcaster is Evy (Nina Kiri), who has recently moved home to care for her dying mother (Michèle Duquet). In between taking care of her mother, Evy runs “The Undertone Podcast” with Justin (voiced by Kris Holden-Ried). As Undertone comes to its (quite literally) spellbinding end, you can’t help but feel like Ian Tuason has just cursed all of us. Grade: B+This review is from the 2026 Sundance Film Festival where Undertone had its world premiere.
