A24’s horror movie Undertone channels a viral internet trend

“I would say it’s a creepypasta movie,” Undertone writer-director Ian Tuason tells Polygon. The viral VR filmmaker was recently tapped to reboot the Paranormal Activity series. “Their podcast is a creepypasta podcast, and the 10 audio files that were emailed to them are creepypasta media. So yeah, this movie was built on top of creepypastas.”
