Female journalist Rahimi (Zar Amir Ebrahimi) travels to the Iranian holy city of Mashhad to investigate a serial killer who believes he is doing the work of God, cleansing the streets of sinners by murdering sex workers. As the body count mounts, and Rahimi draws closer to exposing his crimes, the opportunity for justice grows harder to attain as the ‘Spider Killer’ is embraced by many as a hero. Based on the horrific true story of serial killer Saeed Hanaei, acclaimed writer/director Ali Abbasi (BORDER) unveils a gripping crime thriller, and a daring indictment of a society in which rough justice is routinely a fact of life.
Holy Spider Film Synopsis
A journalist descends into the dark underbelly of the Iranian holy city of Mashhad as she investigates the serial killings of sex workers by the so called "Spider Killer", who believes he is cleansing the streets of sinners.

Excellent Eye 👁️ Opening ThrillerMemorable film about corruption, misogyny, religion and politics in a conservative Muslim country. The female journalist is very well portrayed: passionate yet prone to do stupid things in the name of justice. She has her own form of zealotry and you don’t always root for her. The director reveals the killer’s identity early on which kills the thrill a bit, but you see him at home and work (being normal), then of course, at night, being abhorrent. You must see this film! Grade: 💯.HolyMosesScore: 5/5

Italiano Siamo a Mashhad, seconda città più grande dell'Iran e importante sito religioso. Nel 2000, un serial killer locale inizia a prendere di mira le prostitute per strada, strangolandone diciassette dopo averle attirate una ad una a casa sua. La stampa lo chiama "il ragno", e tra i giornalisti che coprono il caso c'è Rahimi, una donna che viene da Teheran e si mette sulle tracce dell'assassino. L'uomo si rivelerà essere Saeed Hanaei, ex-militare convinto che Dio gli abbia affidato la missione di liberare la città dalle donne indegne che vendono il proprio corpo.

Deutsch Eine Reihe von unaufgeklärten Morden an Prostituierten hält die Heilige Stadt Maschhad im Nordosten des Iran in Atem: „Spinnenmörder“ nennen sie den Serienkiller, der von sich glaubt, die Arbeit Gottes zu verrichten, indem er die Straßen vom Dreck befreit. Die Journalistin Rahimi wird von ihrer Zeitung geschickt, dem Fall nachzugehen – und bekommt als Frau in einer von Männern dominierten Welt ein Hindernis nach dem anderen in den Weg gelegt. Doch Rahimi gibt ihre Suche nach der Wahrheit nicht einfach auf. Während die Behörden tatenlos zusehen, wie der Mörder ein Opfer nach dem anderen in sein Netz lockt, kommt sie dem Täter immer näher. Entsetzt muss sie feststellen, dass er von vielen Menschen in der Stadt als Held gefeiert wird und seine Verurteilung mehr als ungewiss scheint.

Jeho soudní proces vyvolal v Íránu velký rozruch, a to nejen kvůli hrůznosti toho, co se stalo, ale také proto, že některá média a konzervativní skupiny z něj udělaly hrdinu.
