Different Style of Ali Abbasi for “Holy Spider” UK Premiere – 66th BFI London Film Festival

Saeed Hanai, known as the “spider killer”, killed 16 female sex workers in Mashhad 20 years ago. In the same year, Maziar Behari, a journalist and documentary maker, made a documentary entitled “And the Spider Came” on the subject of this serial killer, which was one of the main sources of research for making Ali Abbasi’s new film.
