Former Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz is no stranger to the horror genre, but the upcoming film THE BLACK STRING looks more promising than his previous forays into the genre. Muniz himself has described the movie as "really dark and different from anything you've seen me do!"
We'll have our chance to see it when Lionsgate gives THE BLACK STRING a DVD, Digital, and VOD release tomorrow, September 24th. If you'd like to pre-order a copy, you can do so HERE – and if you'd like to see a clip from the movie, we have an EXCLUSIVE clip embedded below.
Directed by Brian Hanson from a screenplay he wrote with Richard Handley and Andy Warrener, THE BLACK STRING has the following synopsis:
Jonathan is a lonely twenty-something, stuck in his home town working night shifts at the local convenience store. When an unexpected encounter with a mysterious woman turns his life upside down, Jonathan is stricken by illness and nightmarish visions. Paranoid and desperate, he launches on a quest across the suburbs to find the seductress who started it all. Friends and family believe he's losing his mind, but Jonathan is convinced he's the target of something far more sinister.
Muniz is joined in the cast by Blake Webb, Chelsea Edmundson, Richard Handley, Cullen Douglas, Colby French, Laura Richardson, Ravi Patel and Mary K. DeVault.
Patel does some great work in the clip below as a doctor Muniz's character sees about the fast spreading sexually transmitted rash that's covering his genitals and creeping up his abdomen. If that's not the perfect subject for a horror movie, I don't know what is.
