u/Mono-lith

Apologies if this has already been discussed to death, but I finally saw Undertone, and it was absolute torture. It’s tediously slow, and has to be one of the most banal movies I’ve seen in a decade. Every horror cliche in the book, crammed into a unbearably boring movie. Considering it’s one person in a room for 95% of the runtime, you’d think they’d concentrate on the performances. But they were so perfunctory that it turned the whole thing into an interminable experience. It felt 10 hours long.

I had heard this was good… I’m here to warn anyone who hasn’t seen it that it’s a bland, middle of the road slog, with ZERO surprises. No idea why this was picked up by A24.

Just my opinion of course.

FOLLOW UP:
I watched on a 7.1 system, and did not find the mix to be anything beyond a standard film.

It’s telling how much the term “slow burn” is being repeated as justification here. This knee jerk response of “I just like intellectual horror, and you probably love gore and TikTok” is brainless.
