Though quite silly, none of this feels self-reflexive or -satisfied. It delights in its own stupidity the way a dog rolls in dirt, but is nearly as difficult to get mad at after it muddies up the rug.

Mr. Diez, a former effects specialist, skillfully blends viscous textures with cheesy digital flourishes. The screenwriter, Adam Aresty, also earns points for the dialogue’s blithe hit-or-miss humor. But it’s Tilman Hahn’s sound design, with its unsettling buzz, that will burrow most unforgettably into your memory.

I thought the movie was great with right amount of blood splatter along with ridiculous "origin explanation" of whete the mutants came from. Quite honestly, if im going to watch a b movie about giant mutant wasps attacking a garden party - im not expecting a lot of depth to the plot. This film had good effects, not the typical cast of characters, and a (slightly expected) twist at end. A great late night monster flick. Actually reminded me a bit of 8-legged freaks. Have fun!

From an early look I thought that the movie was going to be a decent B-Movie seeing that it used some practical effect and some of the wasp creatures looked pretty cool and well done with the exception of the CGI effect. However the issue is with the characters. The main hero is shown as a slacker and not really likable but when chaos starts he turns into a hero a complete 180 of what he was. We also has Lance Henriksen who turned from the drunk Mayor to a likable aged war hero. Also during the scene where the chaos starts some of the guests seemed perfectly fine walking around acting more confused than scared. While not perfect I was entertained by the movie and the ended which I will not spoil was kind of creepy.

Diez's effects teams have tremendous fun with the gory ways they tear through their hosts' bodies when it's time to leave the chrysalis behind.

In a movie that should have gone for funnier or scarier (ideally both), there’s way too much eventual emphasis on the leads’ uninspired evolving romance.

Paul and Julia can rescue each other, but they need more help pulling Stung out of "Tremors" and "Party Down"’s combined shadow.

Until tepid animal-attack flick Stung, I had never thought to wish for a horror movie protagonist to not be rewarded with a make-out session at film's end.

Director Benni Diez tries for schlock shocks in this giant-bug flick. Sadly, what’s left out here is the fun.

You know with such an intriguing and silly premise, this movie has a panorama of opportunities to come up with some genuinely scary, gruesome and funny ideas. Does it fill these opportunistic wholes? In some cases, yes. There were a few nifty and pretty skin crawling visuals, and I chuckled here and there. But overall, this dumb mess of dialogue and awkward humour with characters you simply do not care about as their background is rushed and embarrassing. I was consistently questioning the choice of pacing as well as the lore of these mysterious bee like creatures. Give the monster some damn respect! It has all the wacky potential with little entertainment added to it. I really would give this one a miss, Stung is not funny nor scary enough to be anything. It's an experiment, and much like it's displayed creatures, turns out ugly and disgusting, coated with blood.
