Holy Spider Review: Powerful Serial Killer Movie Takes Risks & Succeeds

The horror genre has always been scrutinized for its relationship with onscreen violence, but movies about serial killers, especially real ones, merit extra attention. These anomalous criminals have an outsized presence in fiction, and indeed in the popular imagination. Sometimes they are deployed as compelling, formidable villains and nothing more, on par with any other horror monster. The best serial killer stories, though, are more interrogative — of the institutional failures that create and enable them, the social forces that mythologize them at the expense of their victims, and the obsession that drives their pursuers.
