Described as ‘an urban horror’ and ‘deliciously macabre’, The Legend of Barney Thomson tells the story of Barney Thomson – awkward, diffident, Glasgow barber, who lives a life of desperate mediocrity and his uninteresting life is about to go from 0 to 60 in five seconds, as he enters the grotesque and comically absurd world of the serial killer.
Just been to see @LegendofBarney movie Terrific performances by a great cast but the star has to be the story itself by @DTSLindsay
