Melissa L @Agent99 Jan 15, 2026 One of the slowest and dull "horror" movies I have ever seen in the past 40+ years. I couldn't wait until it was over. I kept waiting for something scary to finally happen...and it really didn't. Very bizarre...don't waste your time. See more

Lee D @RT09033377 May 29, 2025 Looks good, but one of the MOST BORING MOVIES IVE EVER SEEN. Literally you will wait for something to happen, you might see a shadow or something, and then back to more of her music. I was joking with the girlfriend that after a Jumpscare, they would go back to her playing another song. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. 😢 I'm open to creative movies and being canadian I'm always willing to support Canadian stuff but God this was terrible. See more

Diana S @DianaWho Aug 23, 2024 I was excited for this movie because I love experimental stuff, but I was super disappointed. The "music," which I think was meant to give the film a big zing, made me want to die ... in a bad way. Just being able to make cool sounds on your fancy computer equipment doesn't music make. I'm so sorry to say it. And just in terms of the story itself, it was unfocused, rambling, trying to be minimalist but just being entirely opaque, and I found it annoying. I think part of the problem for me was this thing of if you inherit a free house at like 22 and you don't have to have a real job and you get to fart around with your expensive noise-making equipment all day trying to be a professional musician and all you can think to do is be depressed and whiny, I have no use for you or your story.

Hugo S @Hugo_Shudder Mar 4, 2024 After breaking up her band, a musician takes refugee in a remote cabin to work on new material. The woman soon faces the presence of a malevolent force. Similarly to its wintry landscape, "The Strings" is emotionally raw and cold. A movie that finds its horror element in the loneliness of the main character. The final musical performance is chilling and haunting! See more

Brad P @Bradster69 Feb 28, 2023 A hypnotic performance from Teagan Johnston and a haunting score make The Strings a profoundly horrific sensory experience. See more

Jan 26, 2023 1.5 Stars just for the lead actress music capabilities. The movie itself feels like it’s purposed for the cinematographer’s resume. Too many filler shots. Not enough plot. If your going to be a slow burn, there needs to be some build up of some sort to justify the nothingness. Looks professional. But, the script is not there. I do like the lead’s music though.
