Giant spider thriller Sting gets first clip and new poster

March 1, 2024 by EJ Moreno

Sting is not only a pro wrestler and a famous singer but also a new horror film adding to our arachnophobia.

Writer & Director Kiah Roache-Turner has helmed Sting, a new film from Well Go USA. Behind the visuals is Weta Workshop, led by Creative Director Richard Taylor (Blade Runner 2049, The Lord of the Rings).

Bloody Disgusting has revealed a new look at the giant spider thriller with a clip featuring a wild tease that will leave you joining the “what the hell?” bandwagon. Check out the clip below along with a new poster …

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 realise 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 is set to be released by Well Go USA in theaters on April 12th, 2024.
