Sting promises a big nasty alien spider and it delivers a big, nasty, alien spider. If I could end this review here, I would. Sting is exactly what it promises to be. It's a monster movie in which an alien spider crash lands in a Brooklyn apartment building. It's captured and befriended in its infant form by Charlotte (Alyla Brown), a curious and dark-souled 12 year old aspiring artist. Charlotte goes by the name Fanggirl on social media and enjoys drawing herself as a super-heroine riding a giant spider.
Thus how an alien spider, only we know that it is an alien, comes to be a pet named Sting. All that Charlotte knows that Sting looks cool and, when it is hungry, it whistles. If you don't know, that's not a typical trait of a Spider, especially one you find in an attic in Brooklyn. These unique qualities are intriguing but they grow dangerous as Charlotte starts feeding Sting other bugs and Sting starts to grow and fast.
