Our take
undertone follows a podcast host receiving terrifying recordings. The story includes mass viewer suicides, hospital suicide, ghost fear, and strong profanity. Psychological horror and media-cursed tropes dominate. Treat as mature teen viewing given self-harm references and sustained dread
Uplifting themes
Cautionary notes about media influence are subtle at best
Story (may spoil tone)
The host of a popular paranormal podcast becomes haunted by terrifying recordings mysteriously sent her way.
