The Handmaid's Tale star Nina Kiri has landed her next lead movie role, in a horror movie where she's the only person ever seen on screen.
As reported by Deadline, The Undertone tells the story of a podcaster who hosts a show about 'all things creepy', and has to move into her mother's house to provide some end-of-life care.
Things start to get weird when she receives 10 audio clips of a couple who are expecting a child, and are haunted by strange paranormal noises. The host begins to draw connections between the audio clips and her own life, with each one drawing her further and further into insanity.

As implied by the synopsis, other characters will 'appear' in the film through voice acting, with the publication stating that "known actors" are expected to be cast (the film has finished shooting Kiri's scenes, and other actors can be dubbed in during post-production).
Writer Ian Tuason, who is making his feature directorial debut with this project, is quoted as saying: "With The Undertone, I'm crafting a horror experience that doesn't just evoke fear — it engulfs you in it, using immersive sound design to make silence as terrifying as the unknown.

"Inspired by my own experience as a caregiver, the film explores how the stories we tell ourselves of fear, guilt, and isolation, can become the real horrors that haunt us."
Producer Cody Calahan added: "We're always on the lookout for projects that stand out and have a meaningful story to tell.
"Ian has a truly unique vision, breaking free from tradition to create a horror experience that's as bold as it is unnerving."
