Synopsis:

An upper-class garden party on a country estate turns to bloody chaos when a swarm of mutated wasps descends to feast upon its guests.

Trying to escape the deadly insects, catering staffers Paul (Matt O’Leary) and Julia (Jessica Cook) retreat inside of the mansion with a handful of survivors, including the town’s mayor (Lance Henriksen) and local eccentric Sydney (Clifton Collins Jr).

But with each victim they consume, the wasps grow bigger and it’s only a matter of time before the survivors finds themselves trapped inside a giant nest…

We like it because:

Stung doesn’t waste any time getting to point – the action comes thick and fast, as the film’s deadly mutant wasps arrive to spoil the party.

Genre aficionados are sure to love it, with feature debut director Benni Diez packing the film with stomach-churning gore, practical monster effects and horror in-jokes. And its fan-pleasing climax will have you buzzing for a sequel.

There’s a great cast on hand too. Matt O’Leary (The Lone Ranger, Die Hard 4.0) is a major rising talent, while Clifton Collins Jr (Pacific Rim, Star Trek) is fast becoming this generation’s most recognisable character actors, and Lance Henriksen (Aliens, The Terminator) lends some serious B-movie credentials.

Stinging good fun!
