The arachnid anti-defamation league won't be too happy with
Sting, the latest horror movie to feature a villainous spider. Written and
directed by Kiah Roache-Turner (Wyrmwood) and boasting practical effects courtesy of the Weta Workshop, the film
stars Alyla Browne as a young girl who discovers a spider and names
it "Sting". As the creature grows at a rapid rate it becomes a ravenous
beast.
Ryan Corr, Penelope Mitchell, Robyn Nevin, Noni Hazlehurst and
Jermaine Fowler also star.
Sting is in UK/ROI cinemas from May 31st.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
On a stormy night in New York City, a mysterious egg falls from the sky and smashes through the window of a rundown apartment building. From it a strange little spider emerges and is discovered by Charlotte, a rebellious, lonely 12-year-old girl obsessed with comic books. She names it Sting.
As Charlotte’s fascination increases, so does Sting’s insatiable appetite. Growing at a monstrous rate, neighbours and their pets start to go missing. Soon, Charlotte’s family realise they have become the prey of a ravenous supersized arachnid with a taste for human flesh… and Charlotte is the only one who knows how to stop it.
