Dir. Ali Abbasi
2022, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, France, 116 min
Persian with English subtitles

Female journalist Rahimi travels to the Iranian holy city of Mashhad to investigate a serial killer targeting sex workers. As she draws closer to exposing his crimes, the opportunity for justice grows harder to attain when the murderer is embraced by many as a hero. Based on the true story of the “Spider Killer” Saeed Hanaei, who saw himself as on a mission from God as he killed 16 women between 2000 and 2001.

Reviews

Tight, taut and not one beat out of place, Holy Spider captivates from start to finish; it gets its claws in and refuses to let go.
- Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Alliance of Women Film Journalists
At times enraging, but never short of riveting, Holy Spider shows Ali Abbasi has a real eye and instinct for storytelling, and with the fantastic performance by Zar Amir Ebrahimi, he makes a film that won’t soon leave your thoughts.
- Kristy Strouse, Film Inquiry
