The Strings

I am not one who needs everything in a movie spoon fed to me but, this had no cognizant plot, no character development, no redeeming quality. The only decent part was the cinematography. IMHO don't waste time on this one.

No idea who thought having a musician deal with their creative process in an isolated cabin would be a good scenario for a horror film (and perhaps it could've been), but here it's an exercise in patience as NOTHING happens for 99% of the running time.

Non-existent plot, nothing even slightly scary, THE STRINGS is an epic waste of time. Just ... wow.

I've seen garbage movies and I dare say I recognise one when I see one and guess what... This is one of em. I'm not gonna fat shame the lead, like other reviewers have... pointless, what I will do is say is from the lead the the support cast the acting its just poor the "story" is weak. We don't get any reason or rhyme as to why the spooks there not always needed I know, but, when the script and film in general is this bad some explaining is needed . The only good thing about this movie is that it ends.

But why? An hour in and all that has happened is a bunch of long drawn out scenes of nothing. Just her life alone in this cabin doing everyday, mundane things. Not sure how that makes a movie plot. Imagine The Movie A Ghost Story, but without the emotion or story. It just goes back and forth between her staring into space, and writing music. At this point I just want to yell at the writer and director "WE GET IT! SHE'S LONELY AND SHE'S A SONG WRITER! CAN WE MOVE ON ALREADY?!?!?!?!?" But move on we did not. She performed no less than 5 (terrible) full length songs during the movie, and the acting is bad, the dialogue is bad, and her fake smoking is bad. This movie is just bad. This movie was aiming to be a slow burn, but it was just a slow because there was no burn. This was barely even a drama. Skip this one.

Despite some gorgeous cinematography, this film fails to deliver anything worthwhile. Unconvincing performances, lackluster character building and a story that fails to do much of anything combine to deliver a truly awful film. Don't waste your time.
