Atom User Reviews for The Snowman
I'm not sure what happened here. bad editting and direction. I almost feel bad for the director.
Movie was so bad. 4 out of 6 people in the theater left - me and my brother were the last ones to leave because it was so bad and weird!! Had no clue what was going on. DO NOT SEE!! Waste of money
interesting movie. Decent but not a blockbuster. A decent alternative to other horror movies out.
Gory and confusing but not terrible.
Idea was good, but it didn't play out that well. Plot was disjointed.
The worst movie of 2017
mustsee
Metacritic
The end result is a finished product which smacks of Universal optioning a hot Scandi novel, losing enthusiasm for it during development and production, and leaving audiences with the remaining carrots and coal.
A leaden, clotted, exasperating mess.
In short, the raw materials are there for a fun – if throwback – genre piece of the kind that kept ’90s cinema stocked with stiffs. Alas, the tension dissipates in a tangle of muddled subplots, sluggish pacing and some strange decisions from director Tomas Alfredson (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy). The result isn’t a Bone Collector, never mind a Se7en.
