Words by Josh Howey

Let the Right One In direc­tor Tomas Alfred­son resur­faces with an icy crime thriller.

Swedish film­mak­er Tomas Alfred­son, who pre­vi­ous­ly brought us Tin­ker Tai­lor Sol­dier Spy and the stun­ning vam­pire flick Let the Right One In, is hav­ing anoth­er run at the hor­ror genre with his lat­est fea­ture (not to be mis­tak­en with the jol­ly Christ­mas film from 1982).

Adapt­ed from Nor­we­gian crime writer Jo Nesbø’s best­selling 2007 nov­el of the same name, The Snow­man is Alfredon’s first direc­to­r­i­al out­ing in six years.

The sto­ry cen­tres around detec­tive Har­ry Hole (Michael Fass­ben­der), who believes a dor­mant ser­i­al killer has reared their head fol­low­ing a woman’s dis­ap­pear­ance. Aid­ed by rook­ie Katrine Bratt (Rebec­ca Fer­gu­son), the pair must piece togeth­er cold cas­es from the past if they ever want this gris­ly night­mare to end.

With a top cast that also includes Val Kilmer, Chloë Sevi­gny, Toby Jones, Char­lotte Gains­bourg and JK Sim­mons, this psy­cho­log­i­cal crime dra­ma looks cer­tain to send a shiv­er down your spine. This first trail­er has already giv­en us a sud­den fear of snowballs…

The Snow­man is released on 13 Octo­ber, 2017 in the UK and 20 Octo­ber, 2017 in the US.
