Overall, I was pretty surprised to see actor Frankie Muniz return to the big screen featuring in a horror movie. For the most part, the actor performs adequately, and the same can be said about the film plot. As a horror movie, it's undoubtedly an excellent slow-burn film, with my only significant disappointments relating to the film's third and final act.

A definite need to see horror film in an uncreative horror film era, not the best acting from the rest of the crew, but Frankie made this movie what it is and it will be an underrated classic

Frankie Muniz is great and makes the character believable. Story is unpredictable and full of surprises.

Very good acting from all the cast, especially from its main star Frankie Muniz. and it was creepy & atmospheric throughout. but the end result could have been so much better.

Could have been throughly entertaining, apart from an irritatingly amateurish mistake that both figuratively and literally runs right through most of the film. See if you can spot it.

The Black String may well be a bit too close to the DNA of It Follows, but it manages to form its own identity with a level of body horror that's satisfyingly grisly, anchored by a Muniz performance of nervous energy.

Psychological horror has swearing, violence, sex, and gore.

Elevating this script from a derivative and simple one is no easy task, but Muniz does it effortlessly.

Wicked Horror

Its premise isn't the strongest or most original, but [Frankie] Muniz's vanity-free performance in the lead role effortlessly carries this mostly entertaining film from beginning to end.
