Holy Spider (2022)
10/10
Incredible, disturbing and important

When this very acclaimed director announced he was going to make another feature, I naturally rushed to the theater to see it. And it was sure a great start to the 2023 movie season.

It is a very disturbing and graphical depiction of a serial killer-mystery thriller, and it doesn't shy away from the gore, yet doesn't wallow in it. It's certainly not for the faint of heart, but all is in service of the important and terrifying script.

The script is, in itself, astonishing. Based on a true story, it's a paralel tale between the killer and the journalists chasing him. You actually feel some kind of sympathy for the serial killer, something that is not easy to convey.

It's a very beautifully made film, with great cinematography, incredible award winning acting and an important yet hard to fathom theme.

It's certainly bound to be one of the best films of the year.
