DESCRIPTION

A distressing story about a serial killer on the loose in the 1960s. The script for “The Red Spider” is based on an original script by Marta Szreder, which was awarded with the Małopolska Film Prize in the Three Crowns competition and based on Cracow's urban legends. One such legend tells the completely fictional story of the demonic Lucjan Staniak, called “the Red Spider,” while another is based on the authentic biography of the only teenage serial killer known to criminology: Karol Kot. Koszałka's film stars Adam Woronowicz, one of this year's Two Riversides guests and the subject of the “And God Created Actor” retrospective.
