Rather, it’s the offence to cinema perpetrated by this alleged thriller, with director Tomas Alfredson being the chief infidel. A serious crime cries out for our attention in The Snowman, but it’s not the marketed one about a slice-and-dice sociopath who leaves runty snow people as his calling card. Such abundant talent, yet what we get on the screen is like a snow cone made with horse urine. To get back to the real mystery here, how did Alfredson manage to screw this up so badly? Some cold cases are never meant to be solved, I suppose, and The Snowman isn’t just chilly, it’s frozen stiff.
