Description

On this episode of the 30 Screams or Less podcast we review Caveat, the 2020 Shudder horror film written and directed by Damian McCarthy, starring Ben Caplan, Johnny French, and Leila Sykes. The movie follows Isaac, a drifter with partial memory loss who accepts a strange job watching a psychologically troubled woman in an abandoned house on an isolated island. What starts as a creepy slow-burn with strong atmosphere, sound design, and one nightmare-fuel rabbit toy quickly turns into a confusing mix of psychological thriller, supernatural horror, and mystery. In this spoiler-filled review, we break down the chained vest, Olga’s crossbow, the dead woman in the wall, Moe’s suspicious behavior, and why Caveat left us wondering if it was creepy, confusing, or both. We also compare it to Damian McCarthy’s later films, including Oddity and Hokum, and discuss why those worked better for us. Watch Caveat now on Shudder, then listen to our full review.

TSOL155 - Undertone

In this episode of the 30 Screams or Less podcast, we review Undertone (2026), the psychological horror film written and directed by Ian Tuason and starring Nina Kiri, Adam DiMarco, and Michèle Duquet. When the host of a popular paranormal podcast begins receiving disturbing audio recordings from an unknown source, she finds herself drawn into a terrifying mystery that blurs the line between reality and the supernatural. We discuss the film's unsettling atmosphere, incredible sound design, slow-burn tension, emotional impact, and whether Undertone delivers one of the most effective horror experiences of the year. Is this hidden gem worth adding to your watchlist, or should you skip it altogether? 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms.
