It's March 14. Here's what's happening in Entertainment. Horror fans have a new must-see with undertone, a film that skips traditional jump scares and relies almost entirely on killer sound design to terrify audiences. Written and directed by Anne Touason, it follows a podcaster named Evie, who stays a blatant her dying mom's house to record an episode only to hear. Erie audio clips from her co-host that turn the night into a nightmare. The movie sticks to one location, putting viewers right in Evie shoes as strange noises build tension without much visual action. Touason designed it this way from the start, obsessing over where sounds come from and using negative space to amp up the dread. Audiences are reacting hard, with one screening causing a whole theater to gasp when a seat sign fell, mimicking the film's chills. Viewers leave sweating intense, praising how the immersive audio overrides any plot holes until the lights come up. The sound was captured practically, with actors recording clips on iPhones right in the house,

then playing them for lead actors Nina Kiri on set for. Real reactions. This raw approach makes every escalating noise feel unpredictable and deeply unsettling, undertone is now in theaters, and Touason urges seeing it in Dolby for the full effect, as home viewing might not hit the same. If you love innovative horror, catch it on the big screen while it lasts. Thanks to our sponsor for supporting today's coverage.
