I love a good thriller. However I wouldn't go to see The Snowman one of my favourite detective psychological thrillers because of the way it had been truncated. The Vue cinema in which I saw The Killing of a Sacred Deer last night puts you in the mood to see such a film. It's like being at the dentist for half an hour before the film starts. There is a crescendo of drill sounding vibrations advertising how lucky you are to be in their cinema. Then after a final explosion of noise the film starts. There is blackness around thirty seconds of silence and we are taken into a heart operation. Having a by-pass operation myself I found this interesting. Let me say that the acting was mostly very good especially that of Barry Keoghan. If you have masochist trends I am sure you will like this film. If you don't give the film around 30 minutes before deciding if you are going to walk out. Let me say that if you watch it to the end and afterwards you say you enjoyed it. May I suggest that you go and see a psychiatrist.
