Sting is a decent little by the numbers horror. A dark take on the novel Charlotte's Web, Sting offers up a skin crawlingly, creepy horror experience. Its struggling middle class, suburban setting, with the usual issues you might find in any home, is starkly contrasted with an alien, other worldly, eight legged horror. This film is simple but well done. It sensibly starts of, quite literally, small and then grows, gradually amplifying the extent and scope of of the scares, which are predominantly of the jump in your seat, variety. Probably not one, I would think, for those of us, with a weak ticker. In summary, neat little horror film, with subject matter most people would find creepily unsettling. Worth a look.
Nope, it's not very original - but it does have "Granny Helga" (Noni Hazlehurst)! It's the worst snow storm in ages and she summons poor old bug-hunter "Frank" (Jermaine Fowler) to investigate some noises coming from within her apartment walls. He turns up, despite the sub-zero temperatures, and pretty soon appears to be part of the problem! What's going on? Well we skip back a few days and discover that a meteor storm has deposited a small spider into the care of "Charlotte" (Alyla Browne). She shoves it in a jar and rather ruthlessly feeds it live insects - that's her first mistake. It gets a taste for things, it's also quite adept at unscrewing the jar lid from the inside, too. The more it eats, the more it grows, the more it grows, the bigger the snack it needs! Nobody is safe as her family - mum (Penelope Mitchell), new husband "Ethan" (Ryan Corr) and baby "Liam" might soon be on the lunch menu too! Meantime, the entertainingly amnesiac grandparent sails through the whole thing completely oblivious. Or is she, really? Nothing about the acting nor the writing stand out here and the usual dysfunctional familial dynamic does nothing for the story either. As to the visual effects, the budget - or the imagination - clearly wasn't there to make much of these and our critter barely features as we develop and pad out the thinnest of stories. It's perfectly watchable but it will be fine to wait to watch on television.
