Film: Holy Spider

If I made a list of best movies of the year, like Tar, it would be toward the bottom. I liked it a lot, but it didn't quite rise above in the way of a Zodiac or Memories of Murder. Some interesting and somewhat unusual genre choices made in the storytelling - revealing the killer and showing his POV, the third act transition into a courtroom drama...my preference would've been more mystery and thrills, perhaps even a red herring. Themes are relevant, timely, la-de-da but ultimately somewhat predictable. Still a great addition to my favorite subgenre - crime thrillers set in unusual locations and communities. 

And a private, somewhat harsh question for the filmmaker: did he make the movie to do the choking scenes?
