Although thriller/horror, it would be better listed as mystery and action. Even with its 8% rating this movie really has a handful of well written scenes, written by Matthew Carnahan, Hossein Amini, Peter Straughan. The end is where everything starts to make sense, so don’t give up too soon.

“The Snowman” is rated R due to graphic and sexual content.
