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.

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.

Great movie, one of those horror thriller where the entity's mystique keeps you invested the whole way.

I don’t understand all the reviews that said the acting was great. It definitely was not with the exception of Frankie Muniz who did do a great job. I think it had potential, but you never found out the why or even the what. I would not recommend this.

Very good acting and the plot was different. Frankie Muniz was excellent. I wish the ending was different but to be expected. I am surprised that people mentioned "sex" and "gore" as this barely had any. This wasn't an episode of "Malcolm in the Middle" for Pete's sake. I definitely recommend it.

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.

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