unlabelledView post →So when Ali Abbasi made Holy Spider-a movie about how Iran's purity culture dehumanises women-and The Apprentice-about how a rapist used sheer force of aggressive narcassistic will to achieve power-his perspectivw was more "This is excellent actually I like this"

Its a films where you're constantly fearful of Rahimi's safety as her investigation rocks many a boat. #filmsky #horrorsky

unlabelledView post →Holy Spider was about as gutting of a movie as possible, based on a true story. A very hard but worthwhile watch.
unlabelledView post →Holy Spider directed by Ali Abbasi it's good i guess? unfortunately it's too hammy in a way that just didn't work for me, vulgar in a forced way that it felt at odds with itself at times. and i hate this poster, empty calory transgressiveness.
unlabelledView post →But Holy Spider, Abbasi's previous, Iranian-language film about an real-life Islamist serial killer murdering prostitutes, has a similar thing in my mind about the hollowness of these people and the degree they don't quite know themselves but feed off of their reactionary fan-base instead
unlabelledView post →That sucks, I really thought Holy Spider was good. It really just seems ill conceived, a movie for no one.
unlabelledView post →Just finished watching “Holy Spider” on Netflix. “Inspired by true events, “ namely a serial killer in Iran who killed 16 prostitutes between 2000 and 2001. Very different, complex film; explores the murders in the context of an overwhelmingly religious and patriarchal culture. Highly recommend. #Movies #holyspidermovie #moviereview
unlabelledView post →Holy Spider (Abbasi, 2022) was a much better film than I expected, particularly considering the reviews I read. The acting was particularly amazing. I think I would watch Zahra Amir Ebrahimi in anything. Across the board, there was some very strong work from the cast. #filmsky

unlabelledView post →Thank you Eric, that may well be true, while I'm not certain about it. Although, if I remember correctly, the Iranian movie "Holy Spider" had been suggested to the Academy by Denmark - not a surprise though that Iran wouldn't do it themselves.

unlabelledView post →So I watched Holy Spider yesterday and I got the sense that the film didn't really know what it wanted to be. I overall enjoyed it (a lot!), but not sure if I'd recommend it... given that it was based on true events, I probably should though; it's a pretty shocking story about misogyny.

unlabelledView post →By: Louisa Moore / www.ScreenZealots.com “Holy Spider” is a disturbing crime thriller that’s based on the true story of the “Spider Killer” Saeed Hanaei, a man who murdered 16 female sex workers in Iran in the early 2000s. It’s a chilling tale of the intersection of religion, culture, social status, and sexism, and despite director Ali Abbasi sometimes crossing the line into more sordid territory, it’s a genuinely alarming film with a distressing universal message about the value of women.…

The women have not been sexually assaulted, but strangled using a knot tied in their headscarves. Not convinced that everything is being done by the authorities, investigative journalist "Rahimi" (Zar Amir-Ebrahimi) decides to get to the truth. Meantime, we follow the life of taxi driver "Saeed" (Mehdi Bajestani) and his daily life helps us to realise that the deceased…
