hit for A24. I recently spoke to the movie's director about why he chose to focus so heavily on sound , and also learned some creepy things about the movie's set.

Many of us might think that the scary things end when the cameras stop rolling, but the Undertone set felt like it was "haunted", according to director Ian Tuason, who filmed the movie in his family's home. When I asked what things were like behind the scenes, and if there were any unexpected challenges, he said: "We got haunted, so there was a lot of unexpected things!"

Throughout the movie, we center on Evy's increasingly fragile emotional state and paranoia, and Tuason said he hoped that cinema goers take away an important message.

He said, "For me, it's if you're feeling isolated and stressed, just talk to someone. Just tell the truth."
