It’s spider girl spring (is that anything?) with two big spider films crawling into theaters and onto our screens this month. One is Australian filmmaker Kiah Roache-Turner‘s Sting, which is a considerably more contained film than his previous work like Wyrmwood: Apocalypse. Now, he’s tackling single-location monster madness with one nasty spider running rampant in an apartment building.
Sting spins a web of thrilling terror when 12-year-old Charlotte’s pet spider rapidly transforms into a giant flesh-eating monster, forcing the young girl to fight for her family’s survival.
Dread Central spoke with Roache-Turner and actor Alyla Browne (who plays a young Furiosa in George Miller’s upcoming Furiosa) about loving (or hating) spiders, single-location horror, and doing your own stunts. Plus, Roache-Turner does an incredible impression of Weta Workshop’s Richard Taylor.
Sting is out now in theaters.
