Review of Holy Spider (2022) by Wendy Ide for The Observer (UK) — 21 Jan 2023
It’s a tense, atmospheric piece of film-making but it made me profoundly uncomfortable – and not, I should add, in a good way. There’s a prurience in how the murders are filmed – the camera hungrily scouring the distorted faces of dying women – that borders on dehumanising.
