The film follows FBI agent Lee Harker, played by Maika Monroe, as she tracks down a mysterious occult serial killer known as Longlegs, portrayed with unsettling intensity by Nicolas Cage. The story begins in the 1970s, where a young girl is lured by a mysterious voice, leading to a disturbing encounter with the pale-faced Longlegs.

  "Sting," the 2024 horror film written and directed by Kiah Roache-Turner, delivers a spine-tingling tale that taps into our innate fear of spiders. The story follows 12-year-old Charlotte, played by Alyla Browne, who discovers a small spider emerging from a mysterious glowing object.

Browne's portrayal of Charlotte is a highlight, capturing the spirit of a rebellious yet resourceful child caught in a terrifying situation. The strained relationship between Charlotte and her overworked stepfather Ethan, played by Ryan Corr, adds emotional depth, although the family drama sometimes overshadows the core horror elements. Penelope Mitchell as Heather and Noni Hazelhurst as Helga also offer strong performances, grounding the supernatural horror in a relatable family setting. The visual effects, particularly the design and...
