‘Back to Black’ Review: Marisa Abela Nails Amy Winehouse in Every Look, Mood and Note in a Biopic at Once Forthright and Forbidding,” a giant-spider-grows-in-Brooklyn thriller that’s cheeky, bloody, and very gooey, Sting is the name given by Charlotte , a precocious tween, to the elegant two-inch-long black spider that becomes her pet .
The movie is about as derivative as can be. But since the writer-director, Kiah Roache-Turner, is reasonably canny about what he’s ripping off, “Sting” is halfway likable for just that reason. It’s a blithe apartment-house riff on “Alien” crossed with elements of “The Shining.” Yet in an odd way, the picture whose spirit it most conjures is “Little Shop of Horrors” .
