If you're looking for an entertaining as hell, throwback creature feature, then look no further.

Stung is a perfectly imperfect B-Movie horror about some mutated wasps causing havoc at a garden party, leading to giant mutated wasps bursting out of various party guests, hell bent on feasting on any survivors. It's really really silly, but manages to be frequently funny, impressively gory, and shamelessly schlocky.

It has two likable protagonists in Matt O'Leary and Jessica Cook, and it's a nice surprise to see that Lance Henriksen wasn't just a cameo. It's let down a little by some dodgy CGI, but a lot of the gory scenes are practical, and a lot of the action takes place at night, so the effects aren't too much of an eyesore.

Stung is a straight up trashy good time, and the often used Wilhelm scream gets given to a wasp, which is low key hilarious, and absolutely slayed me, so bonus points there.

"I remember a group of us all went to this record store - FOPP in Covent Garden - and they were having a Blue Note sale, and every record was like three quid. And I remember all of us going in with like 30 quid and we’d just clean up on the catalogue, and that CD was one of the first ones I remember going home and listening to. I don’t know if you’ve had one of them experiences where you listen to a record and you just feel something change in you. Like, what's happening? How have I never heard anything like this? There's so many questions in your head. Even still to this day I’m like how did you even make that? How do you even begin to approach that and make a work like it, to this day it still stands that test of time; creativity, authenticity, sound, energy all of that stuff. Yeah man, shout out to Andrew Hill."
