Sting (2024)

Rebellious 12-year-old Charlotte finds a baby spider and keeps it as a secret pet, naming it Sting. But as Charlotte’s fascination with Sting increases, so does its size and appetite.

From award-winning Australian horror director Kiah Roache-Turner, Sting stars Critics Choice nominee Alyla Browne (aka young Furiosa) and a giant spider created by New Zealand practical effects gurus Wētā Workshop, who worked on The Lord of the Rings films and The Hobbit.  

Sting won Best International Film at last year’s Golden Scythe Horror Awards. The Guardian calls the film a “spider horror with plenty of bite”, a “fun-filled terror yarn”, and a “taut shocker.”
