An New Horror Film in Development Titled STING is about a Super-Sized Spider
I’ve got some exciting news for all of you arachnophobes out there! A new horror movie is being developed titled Sting and it will tell the story of a super-sized spider that feeds on blood.
Sting centers on “a spider hatched from a mysterious object that falls from the sky into a New York City apartment building. When 12-year-old Charlotte finds the spider, she decides to keep it as a pet, and name it Sting. But as her fascination with Sting grows, so too does the arachnid’s size — and appetite for blood.”
It’s explained that “Neighbors’ pets start to go missing, and then the neighbors themselves. Soon Charlotte’s family and the eccentric characters of the building realize that they are all trapped, hunted by a ravenous spider with a taste for human flesh, and Charlotte is the only one who can stop it.”
It sounds a lot like Little Shop of Horrors, but instead of a giant alien plant, it’s a giant alien spider. Count me in!
The movie comes from writer and director Kiah Roache-Turner (Wyrmwood: Apocalypse, Nekrotronic) and the movie is being produced by Cornerstone Films.
Cornerstone’s Alison Thompson and Mark Gooder said in a statement: “Kiah has written a hugely entertaining script that delivers multiple thrills and twists in an extremely audience-friendly way. We are very excited to release ‘Sting’ into the Cannes market.”
