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 off, 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.
