Acclaimed writer and director Kiah Roache-Turner has unveiled his latest horror masterpiece, Sting, an edge-of-your-seat thriller that explores the unexpected bond between a tweenager and a monstrous spider.
The story follows the brave and resilient Charlotte, a 12-year-old girl who stumbles upon a tiny spider and takes it under her wing, naming it Sting. But as this seemingly harmless arachnid rapidly grows into a bloodthirsty beast, Charlotte's idyllic life is thrown into a chaotic and terrifying tailspin.
With Sting's rampage tearing through the residents of her apartment building, Charlotte must summon all her courage to confront her fears and protect her loved ones from the monster's gruesome clutches. She joins forces with the local maintenance worker Frank, embarking on a perilous mission to stop the spider's murderous spree.
Sting boasts a star-studded cast, led by the captivating Alyla Browne as Charlotte, Jermaine Fowler as her brave ally Frank, and Penelope Mitchell and Ryan Corr portraying Charlotte's mother and stepfather. Under the skilled direction of Kiah Roache-Turner, the film showcases his signature horror sensibilities, bringing the story to life with thrilling visuals and pulse-pounding suspense.
The cinematography, helmed by Brad Shield, captures the film's intense atmosphere, while Anna Drubich's haunting score heightens the emotional tension. The trailer offers a peek into the film's terrifying world, revealing jump scares, colossal spider attacks, and a relentless sense of chaos and dread.
Scheduled to hit the big screens in the United States and Canada on April 12, 2024, Sting promises to deliver a thrill-ride that horror fans won't forget. After its theatrical release, the film will expand its reach globally, with screenings slated for the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. While moviegoers will initially get to experience Sting's chilling tale exclusively in theaters, it is anticipated to make its way to streaming platforms later this year, allowing even more fans to immerse themselves in this unforgettable horror adventure.
Sting stars an ensemble cast including Alyla Browne, Jermaine Fowler, Penelope Mitchell, Ryan Corr, Silvia Colloca, Noni Hazlehurst, Robyn Nevin, Danny Kim, and Tony J Black, delivering powerful performances that bring the film's chilling narrative to life.
