WELCOME TO THE UNDERTONE.
Another original horror film with claims of being *“the scariest movie you’ll ever hear” *and then some.. Unfortunately for me, that wasn’t the case. Although I can appreciate the pristine sound design and the atmosphere of the film as a whole, it didn’t move me in the way I wanted it to. I think I psyched myself for the last week and a half by delving and fiending for something that would truly leave me feeling sleepless. I know it’s kind of silly, but along with the claims from individuals, critics, and the incredible marketing campaign for this film, I really thought it’d be an all-timer for me. I can 100% understand the love this film will get from the horror community, and I’ll never doubt anyone who ends up cherishing this film. It was definitely disturbing, eerie, and had its moments of discomfort, but I was just left wanting more of it to a certain degree, if that makes sense. It had a strong final act, but nothing generational in my eyes. Although this film didn’t do it for me or blow me away or anything, I do want this film to succeed, and I want more original horror films like this to make it to the big screen. It’s still in my eyes a good horror debut nonetheless, but I think I was just expecting more of an “explosive” punch with the overall product.
