15 Promising thriller plots with less impressive climax

6) The Snowman (2017)

The movie starts with promise, following detective Harry Hole as he investigates a series of murders linked by snowmen left at the crime scenes. The eerie visuals and mysterious setup create tension early on, but the story quickly unravels. The plot jumps between timelines, leaving gaps that make it hard to follow. By the end, the killer’s reveal feels rushed and unearned, as the clues never fully connect. The movie wastes its chilling premise by skipping over important details. A better ending could have slowed down, tightening the story while letting Harry outsmart the killer through more grounded detective work.
