Summary
A review of the thriller "Strung," directed by Malcolm D. Lee, starring Chloe Bailey, Lynn Whitfield, and Lucien Laviscount. The film follows a music student who is offered a tutoring job by a mysterious stranger, but the review suggests the film delivers more as a camp classic than a taut psychological thriller.
