A fab new trailer for upcoming horror movie Sting has just been released, about a 12-year-old girl who makes friends with a spider that starts to grow exponentially and eats everything in its wake. It looks like a more up-to-date Arachnophobia-type movie, and I’m here for it.
Sting stars Ryan Corr, Alyla Browne, Penelope Mitchell, Robyn Nevin, Noni Hazelhurst, Silvia Colloca, Danny Kim, and Jermaine Fowler, and the movie was directed by Kiah Roache-Turner.
Here’s the official synopsis:
One cold, stormy night in New York City, a mysterious object falls from the sky and smashes through the window of a rundown apartment building. It is an egg, and from this egg emerges a strange little spider…
The creature is discovered by Charlotte, a rebellious 12-year-old girl obsessed with comic books. Despite her stepfather Ethan’s best efforts to connect with her through their comic book co-creation Fang Girl, Charlotte feels isolated. Her mother and Ethan are distracted by their new baby and are struggling to cope, leaving Charlotte to bond with the spider. Keeping it as a secret pet, she names it Sting.
As Charlotte’s fascination with Sting increases, so does its size. Growing at a monstrous rate, Sting’s appetite for blood becomes insatiable. Neighbours’ pets start to go missing, and then the neighbours themselves. Soon Charlotte’s family and the eccentric characters of the building realize that they are all trapped, hunted by a ravenous supersized arachnid with a taste for human flesh… and Charlotte is the only one who knows how to stop it.
Now, once upon a time, a trailer about huge flesh-eating spoods might have not been for me. But nowadays, I know spooders are my friends, so I’m not too phased by this. I didn’t like what it did to the parrot in this trailer, though (so, warning).
We’ve also got a pretty cool poster.
Sting is coming to cinemas in the US on April 12th, and we’re not sure about the UK yet. The UK trailer only says ‘soon’.
What do you think of the trailer for Sting? Are you scared of spiders, and do you plan on watching this anyway if you are? Let me know in the comments!
