Critics Consensus

Sting should satisfy horror fans in the mood for a creature feature, even if the end results likely won't linger in the memory.

Too slow to get to the good part. Good part too short.

I found Sting to be entertaining. I didn’t get too excited before seeing it, but I actually enjoyed it. It had what I thought were funny parts and yet still spooky. It wasn’t my favorite horror/scary movie, but it definitely kept my interest. During some movies, I get so bored, I end up on my cell and then wonder what happened in the movie, after it’s over. Not this time. I’d recommend, if you are in the mood for a little spook

Bloody Disgusting

Thanks to Browne’s bold performance and an emphasis on practical creature effects, Sting works as an entertaining throwback creature feature.

Simon Abrams

RogerEbert.com

The makers of “Sting,” led by writer/director Kiah Roache-Turner (“Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead”), have obviously seen a lot of genre movies, but that cinephilia doesn’t translate into good cheap thrills or crowd-pleasing adventure drama.

Rated: 2/4

“Sting” is never more than a cheeseball trifle, but at least the film knows it.

Rob Hunter

Film School Rejects

Sting finds some minor thrills as the extraterrestrial arachnid goes about its creepy, flesh-eating business, and fans of the subgenre will enjoy those highs. The human element is nowhere near as strong, though.

Strong Female Antagonist

Roache-Turner imbues the film with a razor-sharp wit and threatens characters we’ve been trained to assume will be safe.

Rated: B

SciFiNow

Brad Shield’s prowling camerawork around the confined, one-location setting helps keep events thoughtfully focused while maintaining gripping momentum.
