We’re all very excited about STUNG around here; the creature feature, about giant insects attacking a garden party, looks like the kind of over-the-top monster mash that was given up in the 90s. It is definitely time we were brought this subgenre back.
Today we’ve got a few new stills from STUNG to share with you, courtesy of the film’s Facebook page. In the pics you’ll spot Matt O’Leary, Lance Henriksen, Clifton Collins, Jr. and Jessica Cook, although no mutant beasties this time around. (You can peep the first still released for your killer bug fix, however.)
Mrs. Perch, an elderly, wealthy lady from rural America, is throwing a fancy garden party at her remote country villa. Same procedure as every year – except this time her illegally imported plant fertilizer seeps into the ground. Subsequently, a local species of killer wasps that usually lay their eggs into other insects mutates into 7 ft tall predators. And the celebrating upper class company provides just the right kind of prey. It’s up to Paul and Julia, the two catering staffers, to stop the creatures, fight for their lives, and incidentally getting their stumbling romance in order.
STUNG is directed by Benni Diez from a screenplay by Adam Aresty. Rat Pack Filmproduction and XYZ Films are producing.
