New Horror Movie Sting (2024) Has a Strange Problem | Spoiler Free Movie Review | Spookyastronauts

[@gennakale]

I just want a terrifying giant spider movie, like ritual or it comes at night, but with a giant spider. I want it to be terrifying and well thought out and be placed way out in the deep woods in the middle of nowhere where people shouldn't be

Watch Enemy

[@johnny1013johnny]

@@marianadamelio Great film, but I don't think that's really what they're describing

[@cardboard2night]

There is the tv show "From", that's a mystery thriller with supernatural elements, kinda like "Lost", it's from the same creators and even starts some of the actors from "Lost". I don't wanna spoil to much, and it isn't confirmed as of yet, but there is the theory, that the main entity controlling supernatural in the show and keeping all the characters in one place (The Town) is giant spider or spiders, residing in forest surrounding town... At least, it's what some of the clues at the end of fist season inquire...

[@DJShire_ATL]

A few years back there was a movie called Itsy Bitsy about a big spider. I haven’t seen it but you can watch the trailer here on YT

[@Welovehorrormovies]

Let's make this movie 🎥 🎉

[@kevinbrasher5588]

Very few directors know how to do camp correctly. Ironically, I don't go camping specifically b/c I'm afraid of spiders.

[@GreetingsFromBlackwoodFarm]

It's all in your head. Camping isn't real.

[@MelieneGardner]

I think this is the first time that a movie was barely on my radar, but due to a lukewarm (but detailed) review, I actually want to see it more. Weird, but okay.

[@jimmy2k4o]

I have a terrifying arachnophobia but it doesn’t extend to films. Even when I know it’s a real spider on screen (eg better watch out) it doesn’t trigger my fears.

[@wolverinescratch]

There aren't much spider movies about so I'll watch this

[@dontheador6649]

Was this about Surfer Sting? The Crow Sting? The NWO Bogus Sting? Looks interesting regardless :)

[@dontheador6649]

@visa_debit_card a pox upon me for forgetting the hallowed Red and Black!

[@dallascowboyshighlights9632]

This movie screams straight to video. This is in the theaters?

[@VickyScreams]

I'm not a fan of the spider horror trend. They showed the trailer for this before The First Omen and I had to shut my eyes. Big nope from me! Reviews like yours will be my only exposure to it.

[@dragonball3166]

Eight legged freaks you may like little more kind friendly not as violent not as scary that or Godzilla movies with big spider depends., or maybe earth vs spider with Dan Ackroid, labalantrua

[@woodsro]

I was excited for Christopher Landon's Arachnophobia remake but I guess that isn't happening anymore because that was announced before the whole Scream kerfuffle. But loves me some spiders, I'll be interested to check this one out (with low expectations). Also, Noni Hazlehurst! 😄

[@tangerinemisfit]

Probably the only horror film that could actually scare me as I’m TERRIFIED of spiders. I doubt I’ll go see it as I’ll have a panic attack or probably faint

[@fkwr1189]

I feel for you ❤ Literally can’t watch anything with spiders. Still haven’t seen Possum. So there’s a lot to skip for me this year, it’s a shame 😢

[@tangerinemisfit]

@@fkwr1189 might watch it at home one day. No chance of the big screen

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Can't say I care for them much myself. They're just....eeehhhhh.

[@marianadamelio]

I almost fainted watching The Mist 😂

[@marianadamelio]

​@fkwr1189 I saw Possum and it's not that terrible with the spider thing, but it has a SA scene (without nudity), and I wasn't expecting that. It was a trigger. It's a sad and slow movie

[@medianerasss]

hi Emma, last year we also got cobweb 🕷🕷🕷

[@filmfangirls9163]

I've been working on my own immersion therapy for my arachniphobia but this ain't happening for me 😂 I told my mom that every horror creature has a trend. If there's a shark movie there will be 4 shark movies. Bear movie? There's gonna be 4 bear movies. It was only a matter of time before the next creature was a spider and now 3 spider movis are coming out this year! LoL

[@marianadamelio]

It's the nightmare of all arachnophobics

[@filmfangirls9163]

​@marianadamelio so true.

[@ExpertContrarian]

what are the other movies

[@filmfangirls9163]

​@ExpertContrarian so far I've heard this one, Infested, Eight Eyes and short film called the Spider which is apparently a horror Spiderman short? Not sure if I'm correct on that one cuz I have issues researching anything spider related 😂

[@davidellis5141]

Spiders 🕷 are awesome creatures ! 👻

[@MrAndy12878]

Debating this one even with a few positive remarks. May wait till VOD. POV always appreciated 🤘🏼👏🏼

[@clarachavez9065]

Go see it, it was a really good time!!!

[@elestrabicodebellavista]

Hi Emma! do You which prefer? this movie or Arachnophobia (1990).

[@danielcarlson5362]

Music can make or break a movie. Frustrating when it's not used properly. I really love spider films (Arachnophobia and Eight Legged Freaks, two favorites) but I might skip this one. Thanks for the head's up :)

[@marianadamelio]

I'm arachnophobic and love Eight legged freaks

[@dragonball3166]

Yes it can half true other half is setting arachnophobia is in town most of time but this one takes place in apartment building claustrophobia stays in one place depends on movie and villian with music

[@AP-AussieDanish]

Eight Legged Freaks was awesome and funny too 👍🏼

[@juanherrera8731]

Am probably going to watch sting (2024) movie theater or vod.

[@jasperfen3754]

I really enjoyed your demonstration of the use of multiple camera angles! Thanks for the review.

[@davebooshty299]

1:56 Weave In is A good Pun for this movie.

[@davebooshty299]

4:05 There is a The Shining Seeming Cam Angle When The Step dad Goes to open a closed door as the angle looks upwards at the door.

[@taroka1119]

It's Little Shop of Horrors meets Gremlins and I didn't mind it at all. It's part of my horror rotation now.

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

I'm not a fan of creature features, so I'll sit this one out. I agree though that the promo is a great touch, and more studios should do that!

[@thorrnapple]

It’s a shame that this movie seems destined to be forgotten without much fanfare because I found it to be an extremely solid gateway horror movie akin to Arachnophobia or even Ice Cream Man- just in terms of bizarre tonal shifts and light and dark elements. I loved the lead, I loved the campy tenants, I loved the Alien(s) influence, this will be a movie that I show my nieces and hopefully they dig it as much as I did

[@mikesilva3868]

Great review emma 😊

[@omayraperales6514]

Infested did it better, Sting feels like something I would've liked at 10 years old, it has some funny moments at the beginning but didnt hit any marks.

[@spookyastronauts]

I can’t wait for infested! I have my screener ready

[@georgeheilman885]

I saw it last night and thought it a decent 7/10 for what it was. No idea why my Village screened it in the VJunior section; the colorful seats and play slide clashed with the movie's tone. It had a lot of similarities to other movies but told a fairly cohesive story. I liked the nasty kills and the creature effects. The only flaws for me were rushed pacing in the second act and some character chiches. But if you want an amusing creature feature, it delivers.

[@Horror_Savant_Jayme]

I really wanted Sting to be good since I like spider movies myself. It's a shame it's not. I'll still watch it once it's on VOD. I'm also really excited for Abigail. 😁

[@LaceyAzeala]

Who is this for…..ME! I ate this stuff up😝

[@wingflanagan]

Interesting. Films made in Australia by Australians starring Australians, but set in the US. Question - and I’m only half joking: is learning an American accent part of every Australian actor’s training?

[@spookyastronauts]

They do this for a lot of films, Pearl was shot in NZ Mia is English, Matrix shot in Australia, late night in the devil shot in Australia

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Thanks for the review, Emma. Sounds like it will be a good film to wait and see on video.

[@solarflame-he6cw]

I will be giving this one a miss because I have arachnophobia 😂

[@thoth8784]

Hey, I thought ITsy Bitsy was pretty good and STing seems to be in the same vein.

[@n-tertainmentx-tended4760]

It's a popcorn horror flick. It doesn't need to be profound, lady.

[@vanessalaughtland4417]

Spider movies are an obvious no for me 😅 so I'm kind of glad I'm not really missing much

[@DAVIDDIGS]

Charlotte? Spiders? I see what they did there. 😉

[@LisaLoves]

This is definitely another divisive one in the community but I’m intrigued I have to say.

[@gurriato]

I think it does the psychological horror aspect decently well from the step-father's point of view, the way he keeps trying to do the right thing but everything backfires on him, how his wife's family is there at the perfect moment to kick him while he's down and make him doubt his place in their lives. It's not what I was hoping for in a giant spider movie, but it is there.

[@cameronaustin4843]

i’m only checking this one out since i’m an amc stubs member. am i excited? not really. but if its campy im sure i’ll appreciate it. also sometimes you just want to watch a giant spider eat people 😅

[@gurriato]

One thing I wished they hadn't done is use the first notes of Gizmo's theme as the spider's feeding call. I really don't care for references in movies and it just made me want to watch Gremlins instead.

[@alexanderjones5109]

my biggest pet peeve in horror movies and video games is the "time to be scared" music. it just feels lazy and like a cop-out. if your movie/game is scary, the audience will be scared on their own. you don't have to give them cue cards

[@gracemarlena2901]

I thought I saw Noni in one of the clips! She’s a mother figure for an entire generation of Australians ❤big drawcard right there.

[@suel6214]

I wanted to like Sting but a lot of it seemed very predictable. Plus, not sure if this was just me, but there's a part where one of the "low hanging fruit" is killed and as Charlotte comes across it, the kill is all blurry so you can barely tell what it is. Like the first one to get killed was obvious and clear, but this was blurry - maybe they were running out of money or it looked bad, so they blurred it out instead? Just my thoughts.

[@Simvossed]

I hate spiders but I wanted to check this one out because I heard it’s going to be fun, and something different from a spider movie but I watched it yesterday and it was ok, a little boring and nothing different😭 I did fall asleep on the last like 10-15 mins but I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss much

[@Edowin-jz2sj]

Thanks for the review! I was on the fence, but I think I'll pass because I just saw 4 awesome horror movies back to back in the theater which has to be an all time record for me and I really don't want to break this trend. Plus, I would have to travel to see it and would not get my movie club points because it's not playing in my usual theater.

[@marke4576]

Madam web and Venom? I'm very confused?

[@spookyastronauts]

The bites are what sting, but I can’t say more anyway because of spoilers

[@joeycj2631]

@@spookyastronauts ahh I see, thanks ☺️

[@likelovehahawow]

It really felt like it was a movie that would have just killed at the box office 25 years ago. If you’d told me it was made in the 80’s I would have believed you

[@reeanimationgaming1034]

This was just boring to be honest.. Some really idiotic things made me check out early. Like.. The way she finds the spider within the first 2 minutes of the movies. The stupid whistle thing, that she decided is it’s call for food. And apparently the spider just screws off the lid of the bottle, to get out, and then screws the lid back on again afterwards. It’s just so dumb, and it feels like things were just thrown in there. And once the spider gets to er certain size it starts to look really bad, and you barely see the spider, because it looks so bad. The key thing about spider movies is, that you HAVE to see the spiders, because they are so creepy just to look at.. Hiding the spider, turn it into just any generic monster that you don’t see, and leave to the imagination. But it’s a spider movie, and spider movies only work if we actually see the spider The movie infested was So much better, and everything made more sense in that movie.

I cant understand WHY ? Would it be Called Sting ? Spiders don't Sting they Bite. Bees Sting Wasps too right ?

[@Droorogers]

Evil Spider Rise

[@Optics2024]

To be fair it’s better than I thought it would be. That being said I went in with pretty low expectations. It’s fun, stupid, leave your brain at the door entertainment. Ok it’s not Silence Of The Lambs standard and it has its issues. Such as the ridiculous Marlon Wayans wannabe exterminator character. Overall though I’d recommend it with the caveat that it’s pure nonsense entertainment. If you want to have a couple of beers and have something to watch it’s fine. Watch it, then forget about it because there’s no real substance to it.

I'm arachnophobic and it's hard to pick a movie with spiders in it. They have to be really good movies for me to enjoy despite the real life horror of them.

[@cmmosher8035]

I am lucky enough that spider creep me out enough that they are a gaurenteed scare but not enough that movies like this and arachnophobia are unwatchable.

[@allbullaside7778]

It's a kids movie that tries to be a horror film. But it fails at both. It succeeds at sucking beyond all levels and SPOILER ALERT!... the "alien" spider. YES a spider from outer fuckin' space is warded off by mothball water and is ultimately destroyed by a trash compactor. There I saved you an hour and a half of your life.

[@JotaTondi]

It's not a bad movie but pfff after a few minutes I was disappointed already .. it's entertaining.. The whole thing about dad-daughter, step-dad step-daughter, mom-children, etc.. let's stop with that !!

[@kibakim]

This movie is like Critters , whit the same ending ,. nothing new

[@davebooshty299]

4:35 I couldn't stand that the whole building has No lights on , every room is dark for the whole movie. Plus How Can An Exterminator get away With Swearing At And Or Around Customers ?

[@venturefray]

Don’t watch this if you value your time. Your welcome! Movie is about girls with daddy issues and girl boss feminists which describes men as being weak and useless, and a recalcitrant kid who makes you click at every moment. The spider is the actual friendly intelligent human being with a sense of purpose, dedication and satisfaction and the humans are the critter that are better off dead than being alive. The creators who make these films made them because they despise their own human nature, either to push a message, make a horror movie but make sure you push that message, or they’re just stupid, and they think we’re also very stupid and we can’t tell right from wrong. It’s basically a caravan of garbage low budget B movie. Vermins/infested was 💯 better, even if there too is some sense of laziness throughout the whole movie. Like you do wish for the spiders to finally die! Compared to this film where you wish for the spider to live, and kill as many humans as possible, because that’s how the writers and director portrayed the humans as very annoying recalcitrant arrogant and weak. It’s a good looking vfx parody of a movie. Vermin/infested was better in every way possible!
