Fantasia 2025: The Undertone is a Nightmarish Sound-Driven Scarefest - Cinapse Ian Tuason’s mesmerizing minimalist debut, The Undertone, is possibly the scariest film of the year. A Fantasia 2025 World Premiere.

#Fantasia2025: It's gonna be damn hard to dethrone Ian Tuason's THE UNDERTONE as the scariest film of the year. Tied myself into knots watching–and listening–to this one. A smart distributor would buy this up immediately and pony up for a Dolby Atmos mix. Full review at @cinapse.bsky.social!
