A24 has acquired the worldwide rights to The Undertone.

Paranormal podcast host Evy moves into her dying mother’s house to be her primary caregiver. When she receives audio recordings of a young pregnant couple experiencing supernatural noises, she realizes the woman’s story mirrors her own. Each new recording scratches at her sanity, drawing her into a fate she cannot escape.

Nina Kiri (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) stars in the film, which marks the feature debut of writer-director Ian Tuason.

Kris Holden-Ried (“The Umbrella Academy”), Michèle Duquet (The Virgin Suicides), Keana Lyn Bastidas (“The Hardy Boys”), and Jeff Yung (The Shrouds) round out the cast.

Dan Slater for Slaterverse Pictures and Cody Calahan for Black Fawn Films produce. Exec producers include Steven Schneider and Roy Lee for Spooky Pictures, Chad Archibald for Black Fawn Films, Brit MacRae and Daril Fannin for Kino Studios, and DimensionGate.

Deadline first reported on the acquisition.
