Rotten Tomatoes : 83% – “An intensely stylish and appropriately troubling film, with stomach-churning murders and a pacy first half that’s reminiscent of David Fincher’s Zodiac.” –Kevin Maher, Times UK

ScreenRant : “Abbasi’s film is no easy watch, but it is a powerful entry in this subgenre that succeeds by making risky choices lesser works might have mismanaged.”

Variety : “Iranian Serial Killer Movie ‘Holy Spider’ — Which Pushes Envelope With Nudity, Sex and Graphic Strangling Scenes — Stuns Cannes”
