1. • • This crime thriller does a good job of building and keeping up tension and suspense right to the very end. Dark atmospheres, horrific crimes, and gritty depictions of sex work and drug use are handled well by the solid cast. The characters feel authentic but aren't explored in depth.

   Is Holy Spider a good movie?

   • Holy Spider is tense and uncomfortable to watch as it aptly uses its fact-based source material to create a bone-chilling thriller. The cast was phenomenal as every actor convincingly played their role and made it effortless to connect with their characters. Not every day a foreign film captivates me, but this one's truly well-made.

   Why is 'Holy spider' so disturbing?

   • Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of his story was that the killer became a hero to some before his execution. “Holy Spider”’s rendition of this grisly tale is powerful and precise, commendably lacking the sensationalistic tone of some serial killer movies.
