Well Go USA Entertainment has shared the first trailer and poster for writer/director Kiah Roache-Turner's (the Wyrmwood movies, Nekrotronic) latest horror flick, Sting, and those among you who usually tend to steer clear of our eight-legged friends may want to do the same with this teaser!
The movie follows a teenage girl named Charlotte who bonds with an intelligent spider-like creature when its egg crashes through her window during a storm (what the hell is wrong this kid?). She names the little fella Sting, but soon starts to regret feeding her new pet when he begins to grow... and grow!
As Sting claims more victims (probably best not to get too attached to any other pet introduced in this movie), Charlotte realizes that she might be the only one that knows how to stop his rampage.
This looks like it might be entertaining enough, and there are some impressive practical FX on display. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think in the comments section.
“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.”
Sting crawls into theaters on April 12, 2024.
