In which the Mister joins me in reviewing HOLY SPIDER (2022), currently available on Netflix.  Directed by Ali Abbasi, from a script by Ali Abbasi and Afshin Kamran Bahrami and story supervisor Jonas Wagner, the film is based on true events that occurred between 2000 and 2001.  In the film, journalist Rahimi (Zar Amir-Ebrahimi) comes to the holy city of Mashhad to investigate the murders of sex workers at the hands of the "Spider Killer," who's been in touch with a local journalist and proclaiming his belief in doing holy work as he is cleansing the streets of these corrupted women.  The killer is revealed to the audience early and from here the film jumps between the journalist who is racing to uncover just who the Spider is before he claims more lives and the Spider and his viewpoint as being blameless as he feels he is doing God's work.  A tense story, exceptional script, sublime performances all come together to make this an absolute MUST WATCH.  The film has a run time of 1 h and 58 m and is unrated on IMDB but we're going to say NC-17 for adult themes that include sex and nudity, violence, drug use and profanity.  This film is NOT FOR CHILDREN.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
