[3] Charlotte, a rebellious 12-year-old girl lives in a dilapidated apartment building with her overworked step-father, Ethan, her mother Heather and baby half-brother Liam.

The website's consensus reads: "Sting should satisfy horror fans in the mood for a creature feature, even if the end results won't likely linger in the memory.

"[10] Bill Goodykoontz of The Arizona Republic also gave it 3/5 stars, calling it "a solid if unspectacular entry into the eww-gross-spiders category...

"[12] IndieWire's David Ehrlich gave the film a C grade, writing, "There's decent fun to be had in this crafty and contained Aussie skin-crawler... but Sting is a bit too small for its massive alien spider to maneuver itself in unexpected ways, and the tender human story that Roache-Turner weaves around her lacks the bite it needs to melt your heart or liquify any of your other organs.

"[13] Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com gave it 2/4 stars, writing, "The makers of Sting... have obviously seen a lot of genre movies, but that cinephilia doesn't translate into good cheap thrills or crowd-pleasing adventure drama.
