Review of Stung

Initial Thought: I actually didn't really know anything about this movie. I did see that a website had some info on it, but I only really noticed the poster. Anyways I decided to check it out.

Characters/Acting: The cast isn't big, but it does have a few pretty familiar faces. We have horror legend Lance Henriksen here as well as personal favorite Clifton Collins Jr. It's definitely a different kind of role for the latter. I thought there were some interesting characters here. I think the acting was pretty good and the actors knew that they were supposed to be B level characters.

Story: An fancy garden party turns into upper class prey when a colony of killer wasps mutates into seven foot tall predators. Sounds like a crazy 80s B movie. Those can either be really fun or be pathetic. Let's hope for fun. The beginning was pretty cool and not something I expected to want to see. It doesn't take long for shit to hit the fan here. Wasps freak me out a lot more than bees so yeah this is definitely terrifying. There is a Wilhelm scream that I'm sure will cause a chuckle. It does have some CGI, but for the bigger creatures it actually has some practical effects. There was plenty of gross out gore here. The ending was pretty cool.

Directing/Writing: This is the only work from director Benni Diez and writer Adam Aresty. Let's see what they have to offer the film industry. These guys need to bring us more of this. They know how to pay homage to the creature features of old while bringing us something new. I will definitely be looking forward to future projects of theirs.

Final Thought: This was quite original, funny, gory, and just all around fun. I'm looking forward to a sequel. If you like B grade creature features you will love this. It has just the right amount of cheese and carnage. I really recommend giving it a shot.
