Your support makes all the difference.Nordic Noir's certainly made its waves on television screens, but it's yet to cause quite the same fever in Hollywood.
Tomas Alfredson's The Snowman might be the one to change all that, however, thanks to some A-list help in the form of Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Furguson, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Val Kilmer, and J.K. Simmons.
The film adapts the seventh entry in Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole series, with Fassbender taking the lead as a detective investigating a disappearance which takes places on the first snow of winter, in fear an elusive serial killer may be active again.
The clues? A lot, a lot, a lot of snowmen. The film offers its own Scandi-style hook with a suitably wintry calling card, so expect lots of shots of grizzled Fassbender looking angrily at tiny little snowmen.
If you want a hint as to what to expect, Alfredson's best known for directing 2008's Let the Right One In, so expect plenty horror-style chills along the way.
The Snowman hits UK cinemas 13 October.
