A BREAKDOWN of ALL Symbols, Themes, and the Ending of Undertone EXPLAINED

I interpreted the ending to suggest that Evy was imagining her mother still residing in the bed. Her boyfriend tells her that she’s been gone for weeks and she mentions not sleeping well. When she actually starts to fall asleep, she is haunted by the face of her mother in her final moments. At the end the audio files break her illusion and she sees that she’s been residing in the house alone, scribbling madly on the walls. Once she goes upstairs she finds the room empty and the screams are her just having a complete mental breakdown. I like the concept, but the execution was… odd. It left me with a lot of anxiety, but no real payoff. Everything felt unnecessary. The zoom ins to nothing, all the characters outside of Evy, even the central demonic presence. Left more upset than intrigued

Did anyone else catch that the last callers name was Abby? Like Abyzou

The dream sequence with the sleep app was wild!

I understand that horror is subjective and people find different things scary, but I was really surprised at how many people did not like this movie. I loved it and can't remember a movie that scared me as much as this since maybe hereditary or the witch

Saw it tonight and loved it, I like to thing that the banging noice they heard in the audio was the sound of the mom with the baby in the bag.

this shit had me peeking thru my fingers at the ending

Do you think her mother was somehow praying even though she was unconscious? Like somehow she knew what was happening despite her condition. I thought it was implied that throughout the film she was indeed protecting her, until she died.

The short scenes of the bags suffocating the woman is also a reference to how Jess and Mike killed themselves after they killed their baby: by wrapping bags over their heads at the bottom of their stairwell.

Saw it tonight. Left the theatre with goosebumps 😅. Nothing like coming home and freaking out to every dark shadow in the house. Got to love a good scary movie.

I saw this last night. Took a buddy. I liked it, a lot actually, but I didn’t understand wtf was going on. And driving home I knew I’d stumble upon a video that would explain it. And I didn’t even search for this, it just popped up in my suggestion feed which is kinda creepy…how did it know). But damn, you’re good at this. Thank you.

I think evie mother was dead the whole movie. Did you notice the ashes in the vase and also the bed was made perfectly

The last 15 to 20 minutes kinda reminded me of P.T

Great potential with this movie, but ultimately i feel the R-rating was exaggerated.

pretty sure the statuette was of abyzou herself and not mary. it clearly depicts babies crawling up her dress while shes screaming

i had a specific theory, when evy is talking to her mother, after the call to the doctor, she tells her mom that she’s pregnant. she makes the obgyn appointment. she NAMES THE BABY. from the start, it seemed like evy did not want this child, shown by her drinking and taking the pills. evy literally says she is not fit to be a mother. abyzou would have no satisfaction in taking this child that is unwanted anyway. she waits until evy wants to keep the baby. waits for the connection to form. because after that scene that’s really when things start to go south. the demon wanted the satisfaction of ruining evy’s life

I like the theory of denial. Not only religious denial but the denial and refusal of acceptance of her mom’s death. I’ve seen a lot of talk about how her mom has already passed and how that could have brought on a psychotic break in Evie. She felt so guilty about neglecting her prayers that her mom dying sent her down a path of complete denial as she feels like she failed her mom. I’m seeing it again tomorrow but people have mentioned that there is already an urn in the living room. Didn’t notice it on the first watch so I can’t speak on that

I believe none of this would’ve happened at all if evie didn’t watch the red face woman

I knew I could count on you to give a fantastic analysis. My dad died recently, I was his caregiver, and i succumbed to alcoholism, so this movie really resonated with me.

The sound design was chilling. There was not many in the theater I was in so that added to the isolation experience. Some of the creepy sounds especially the back sounds...I actually felt someone was behand me. Even these shots of her sitting with headphones on hearing these downloads on the podcast...is there someone in the dark corner in the room? If you're afraid of the dark and being alone with a person in a coma...this will creep you out..

Don’t know if anyone else caught on, but I believe the red face lady video is inspired by the creepypasta video “Mereana Mordegard Glesgorv” which is a very similar visual of someone looking into a camera with a red overlay. The story itself says that those who watch it end up gauging out their eyes, which I believe undertone took inspo by it making people cut off their ears (or whatever it was)
