"I really enjoyed this movie, it's a vibe and came with some noteworthy extras like a detailed booklet and 2 postcards included inside the case. The outer sleeve is very nice as well. I originally heard the soundtrack so it was rad to finally see the motion picture to this music I've been loving! Teagan Johnston is captivating and the perfect actress for this gem!"
"So pleased to see Shudder doing such a good job with OCN"
"Isolation equals madness or something. Random keyboards and synth machines make an uncomfortably long and pointless scene appearance in this weird film. Most will probably be frustrated with this one as there is no real point or finality, but I guess if you enjoy vague and “open for interpretation” type films, you may find something to like here."
"Loved it's experimentation and unconventionality"
"Great, creepy, claustrophobic winter horror movie."
"‘The Strings’ is very much a mood piece. A very small cast in a remote location lend themselves to the sense of the uncanny, which slowly grows into something more akin to cosmic horror. The central performance anchors the whole thing, aided by the fact that the actor playing a gifted avant-garde musician *is* a gifted avant-garde musician, who conveys how the process of creation can send an artist to the brink of madness."
"Great release. . still on my watchlist"
"Haunted house story that's very slow and requires a lot of patience. Interesting and haunting music. Atmospheric and creepy at times. Picture quality was good and a decent amount of extras. Was a nice surprise to find two post cards inside the case. Most won't have patience for this and there's not much replay value here."
"Great"
"Here is another lesbian love a fair gone wrong… In the dead of winter, Catherine travels to her aunt's remote cottage to work on new material but once there, she and local photographer Grace spark up a budding romance."
