![]() The outlook on the movie changed drastically as the release date neared. But to steal a pun from nearly every single critic who has seen it (full disclosure: I have not), The Snowman is apparently abominable. Martin Scorsese, who at one point was attached to direct, is an executive producer. The director, Tomas Alfredson, made the dazzling Swedish horror movie, Let the Right One In, and after that, the tight spy thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Even its poster reads: “Mister police, you could have saved her, I gave you all the clues.” It had Fassbender, one of the best actors working today, as the lead. The Snowman was unabashedly selling itself as one of these movies. Mysterious killer taunts brooding detective with outlandish clues, driving the detective to the brink of madness until the final act, when the killer's identity is finally revealed in a shocking twist. It was a serial killer thriller starring Michael Fassbender and felt like a throwback to the kind of movies that Hollywood used to make so well, movies in the vein of Se7en and Silence of the Lambs. A few months ago, I caught wind of a movie called The Snowman. ![]()
