Saipan 2026. A film loosely based on the conflict between the Republic of Ireland coach, Mike McCarthy (Steve Coogan), and his star player, Roy Keane (Eanna Hardwicke), and Keane's subsequent departure from the Irish squad for the World Cup. To begin with, Hardwicke doesn't resemble Keane at all—she's much taller—but she does capture his arrogance. Coogan isn't an exact copy either, but she does capture his seemingly chaotic approach to player management. Directors: Lisa Barros D'Sa, Glenn Leyburn Writer:: Paul Fraser Stars: Éanna Hardwicke, Steve Coogan, Peter McDonald What I felt while watching the film was the disastrous state of Irish planning. That was the problem: Keane, of Manchester United fame, expected more. I watched The Damned United last week, which deals with the rivalry between Brian Clough and Don Revie. It's tense, funny, and genuinely interesting, but this isn't. It's okay, and it plays on Irish stereotypes. The best part for me was hea...

Charlotte, a 12-year-old girl hiding a secret, faces a terrifying reality when her once adorable pet spider undergoes a monstrous transformation into a carnivorous giant. In “Sting,” the latest installment of the “Giant Spider vs. Humans,” audiences are drawn to the promise of classic creature thrills.
However, despite its premise, “Sting” fails to convey the chilling emotion one would expect from such a film. Instead of a gripping monster movie, it delves into the realm of mundane family drama. While the film draws inspiration from iconic creature features like “Alien” and “Jaws,” it fails to evoke the same level of tension and fear, relying more on the concept of horror than its execution.
Director: Kiah Roache-Turner
Writer: Kiah Roache-Turner
Stars: Tony J Black, Alyla Browne, Alcira Carpio
The story revolves around Charlotte, played by Alyla Browne, who lives her life with her new stepfather Ethan, played by Ryan Corr, in a poorly managed apartment building. While the film spends considerable time exploring the dynamics of the building and its quirky residents, it does not adequately develop Charlotte's character. While Ethan takes center stage, making amends and adjusting to his new marriage, Charlotte's role feels sidelined, leaving the audience disconnected from her journey until the film's final act.
However, the eccentric supporting characters inject life into the narrative, with standout performances from Robyn Nevin, Noni Hazlehurst and Jermaine Fowler. Fowler, in particular, shines by infusing humor into an otherwise mediocre script, elevating the film with his comedic timing and charisma.
Despite its flaws, “Sting” offers some redeeming qualities. The creature's design, reminiscent of xenomorph lore, turns out to be a highlight, and WETA Workshop's practical effects add a visceral quality to the spider's appearance. While the film occasionally relies too heavily on strobe lighting and shaky camera work to obscure the creature, its plasticky, grotesque aesthetic effectively induces a sense of repulsion.
However, “Sting” fails to generate suspense and deliver shocking scares. The creature remains largely hidden in the shadows and most of the horror occurs off-screen, lessening the overall tension. While the film's conclusion attempts to redeem its previous shortcomings, it ultimately fails to live up to its full potential as a horror classic.
In the end, “Sting” offers a mix of emotions and disappointments. While it may satisfy viewers looking for a dose of creature nostalgia, it fails to leave a lasting impression due to its uneven execution. Despite its flaws, “Sting” manages to stick the landing, culminating in a solid ending that salvages some of its previous mistakes.
