The Spider Woman
Grim mystery to hold you breathless!
Directed by Roy William Neill
Produced by Universal Pictures
A classic noir-tinged mystery thriller where Sherlock Holmes pursues a cunning female serial killer orchestrating elaborate fake suicides, built on deception, paranoia, and intellectual cat-and-mouse games.
Sherlock Holmes investigates a series of so-called "pajama suicides". He knows the female villain behind them is as cunning as Moriarty and as venomous as a spider.
