Synopsis: One cold, stormy night in New York City, a mysterious object falls from the sky and smashes through the window of a rundown apartment building. It is an egg, and from this egg emerges a strange little spider... The creature is discovered by Charlotte, a rebellious 12-year-old girl obsessed with comic books. Despite her stepfather Ethan's best efforts to connect with her through their comic book co-creation Fang Girl, Charlotte feels isolated. Her mother and Ethan are distracted by their new baby and are struggling to cope, leaving Charlotte to bond with the spider. Keeping it as a secret pet, she names it Sting. As Charlotte's fascination with Sting increases, so does its size. Growing at a monstrous rate, Sting's appetite for blood becomes insatiable. Neighbours' pets start to go missing, and then the neighbours themselves. Soon Charlotte's family and the eccentric characters of the building realise that they are all trapped, hunted by a ravenous supersized arachnid with a taste for human flesh - and Charlotte is the only one who knows how to stop it.

Sting is not a straightforward horror, but a very playful dark fairytale. Me and director Kiah Roache-Turner decided that the movie needs a proper theme for friendship between Charlotte and the spider I think that the soundtrack is a nice mix of childish fun and creepy horror elements. For Sting I created some interesting “spider-like” sounds and loops from an old typewriter. Besides all weird synth instruments I decided to stick with three live instruments: flute, harp and bass marimba. To record those I had to travel to Sydney – which was my first time visiting Australia. What a great city! Thank you Sting for this great opportunity.
