We reveal the opening film for DUNDEAD 2024 🕷
Join us for a UK premiere
There's just one month to go until Dundead 2024 and we're excited to reveal the opening film of the festival is the UK premiere of Sting!
This funny, old-school creature feature tells the story of 12-year-old Charlotte (Alyla Browne) who lives with her mother, her mother’s boyfriend, her baby brother … and her pet spider, Sting. But Sting has a voracious appetite and seems to be growing at an alarming rate.
It's Stranger Things meets Eight-Legged Freaks, with an incredibly creepy monster at its heart. The special effects used to bring Sting to life are by the legendary Weta Workshop, with a great mix of CGI and practical.

I’m really happy to announce the UK premiere of Sting as our opening film. This is a big, fun monster movie about one girl and her giant killer spider. It's full of practical effects by the legendary Weta Workshop and writer/director Kiah Roache-Turner is a self-professed arachnophobe, so you know the eight-legged mayhem is going to be both satisfyingly crunchy and creepy.Michael Coull Dundead Programmer
