191. Thinner (1996)

April 16, 2014

I've heard a lot of people say they didn't like Thinner, and I've never been sure why. In my opinion, it was a pretty solid movie. Sure, it had some stupid parts and it could have been much better, but they did a decent job with what they had. When a lawyer hits and kills a gypsy woman with his car and then gets away with it in court, the woman's husband puts a curse on the lawyer, the cop who turned a blind eye, and the Judge who let him get away with it. The lawyer (who had a lot of weight to lose) was cursed with losing weight. At first it seemed like a blessing until he started losing too much weight way too fast. The twist at the end was dumb but for the most part I really liked Thinner.
