The chilling new film Sting is about to be released. It tells the arachniphobia-inducing story of a young girl and the monsters she befriends.
Meet Charlotte, a twelve-year-old girl whose imagination is her escape from the harsh realities of her life. Surrounded by a family that feels distant, she finds solace in comic books. A mysterious object streaked across the night sky, and a seemingly harmless spider lands on her fire escape. But as their bond blossoms, so does the spider, morphing from a curious pet into a terrifying predator.
The film’s chilling synopsis paints a picture of escalating terror. Vanishing pets, panicked whispers, and the realization that a monstrous arachnid stalks the building. The line between her imaginary world of superheroes and the horrifying reality blurs.
Director Kiah Roache-Turner helms Sting, which boasts a talented cast, including Ryan Corr (“House of the Dragon”), Alyla Browne (Three Thousand Years of Longing), and Penelope Mitchell (Hellboy). Expect incredible practical effects crafted by the five-time Academy Award®-winning Weta Workshop, led by the legendary Richard Taylor (Blade Runner 2049, King Kong).
While Sting promises a thrilling and terrifying cinematic experience, it is more than a monster movie. It explores themes of family, isolation, and the unexpected courage that can emerge when faced with unimaginable threats.
Sting crawls onto EST on May 14th, Digital on May 28th, and Blu-ray and DVD on July 30th from Well Go USA Entertainment. Bonus content includes three behind-the-scenes featurettes detailing “Creating the Monster,” “The Director,” and “The Cast.”
