STING (2024) *** Ayla Browen, Ryan Corr, Penelope Mitchell, Jermaine Gowler, Noni Hazlehurst, Robyn Nevin, Danny Kim, Siliva Colloca. Spooky horror film about an alien spider that is befriended by a young girl (an excellent Browen) upon its crash-landing in a snowy Brooklyn that eventually grows into a voracious monster stalking her apartment building with dreadful results. Filmmaker Kiah Roache-Turner creates a truly dark and eerie film with a storyline involving a loving family facing their own limitations as well as some inventive camerawork by Brad Shield and gnarly make-up by John Logue. Fun and scary.
