Why watch?

Nina Kiri plays a girl who starts hearing something wrong in the walls of her house — the moment she realizes it's not her imagination is genuinely creepy. The film builds tension methodically, each scene adds a grotesque detail, and the atmosphere gets thicker. It's horror that relies on unease rather than jump scares, and those 94 minutes stretch in a very deliberate way.

Who is it for?

If you're into horror-mysteries where you have to piece things together yourself, this one's for you. Similar vibe to Hereditary or The Invisible Man — tension builds slowly and not everything is spelled out. This isn't splashy gore or constant jump scares, so if you want something psychological rather than explosive, you're in the right place.

If you liked The Undertone for its creeping dread and the way something feels wrong but you can't quite name it, check out The Night House — Rebecca Hall moving through a house full of unsettling gaps and half-remembered details. You get that same murky, suffocating vibe in the Canadian series Quiet as a Dormouse, where ordinary choices start to feel menacing just because of how the camera watches them. Wounds is another one with that quality where the horror comes from not understanding what you're actually looking at.

Classic overview

The host of a popular paranormal podcast becomes haunted by terrifying recordings mysteriously sent her way.

AI Spotlight

Powered by Claude

Nina Kiri hosts a horror podcast from her dying mother's house, where she's now the primary caregiver. When her show receives ten audio recordings from a pregnant couple experiencing paranormal sounds, she realizes their story mirrors her own in deeply unsettling ways. Director Ian Tuason uses the podcast format to blur reality and obsession—each new recording doesn't just scare her, it gets under her skin. The claustrophobia of caregiving mixed with supernatural dread creates something closer to The Machinist than a typical jump-scare film. If you liked Hereditary's family horror or the slow-burn paranoia of A Tale of Two Sisters, this gets into your head the same way.
