Creature Feature ‘STING’ Releases Poster and Trailer

I’ve been a fan of Kiah Roache-Turner since I first saw Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead when it came out on Blu-Ray. I’ve followed and devoured his subsequent films: The Ghostbusters-influenced Nekrotronic and the follow-up to Wyrmwood, Wyrmwood: Apocalypse. I’ve been anxiously awaiting news on his latest, Sting since it was first announced a couple of years ago.

I’m happy to share with you the theatrical poster and trailer as well as the release date for Sting.

Synopsis

STING spins a web of thrilling terror when 12-year-old Charlotte’s (played by impressive up-and-comer Alyla Browne) pet spider rapidly transforms into a giant flesh-eating monster, forcing the young girl to fight for her family’s survival. With incredible practical spider effects from 5-time Academy Award® Winner Weta Workshop, led by Creative Director Richard Taylor (Blade Runner 2049, King Kong, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy), STING is nightmare fuel, coupled with unexpected moments of quick-witted comedy highlighted by the exterminator played by Jermaine Fowler.

The film stemmed from Kiah Roache-Turner’s own extreme fear of spiders; his previous films include post-apocalyptic zombie thriller Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead(which premiered at Fantastic Fest), comedy sci-fi/horror Nekrotronic, starring Monica Bellucci (which premiered at the TIFF in 2018), and action/horror sequel Wyrmwood: Apocalypse (winner of the Audience Award at the 2021 Sydney Film Festival) starring Luke McKenzie.

Sting was written and directed by Kiah Roache-Turner (Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead). The film stars Ryan Corr (House of the Dragon), Alyla Browne (Furiousa: A Mad Max Saga), Penelope Mitchell (Hellboy), and Jermaine Fowler (The Blackening)

The film arrives in theaters on April 12th from Well Go USA.

Sting looks like an absolutely thrilling and gruesome good time. Are you excited for Sting? Planning to check it out? Let us know in the comments!
