‘undertone’ review: A24 Horror Thriller Weaponizes Our Imagination

Undertone is a minimalist horror film with just two actors, relying heavily on sound design to create its scares. This works well because it encourages viewers to use their imaginations, making that a key part of the experience. Director Tuason deliberately leaves things to the audience’s interpretation – a lingering shot of an empty staircase or a demonic voice – prompting us to fill in the blanks and imagine what might be there. In essence, the film lets us co-create the terrifying scenarios that unfold in our minds.

10 Best Anime Worlds to Escape To (and The Worst Ones to Avoid)

Anime has a unique way of making everyday life feel special.

What makes this series so brilliant is how realistically flawed its characters are. Unlike most superhero families, this one is built on conflict, heartbreak, and shifting loyalties. You’ve got telepaths falling for wild outsiders, leaders sacrificing themselves regularly, and a mutant society that’s both hopeful and frustratingly complicated. And that’s exactly what keeps fans hooked – the delightful messiness of it all.

James Wan Has Ideas For A New Saw Movie, And I Think It’s Exactly What The Franchise Needs

The future of the Saw movies is currently uncertain. After Saw X didn’t do as well as hoped at the box office, plans for Saw XI were canceled. This led Lionsgate to step away from the franchise, with Blumhouse taking over. Jason Blum, the head of Blumhouse, has expressed interest in bringing James Wan back to the series. Wan recently discussed the possibility of future Saw films with Letterboxd, and while he didn’t share any concrete details, he suggested he’d like to see a new movie recapture the feel of the original.
