    Written by Michael McDowell (of Beetlejuice fame) and Tom Holland (largely recognized for Kid’s Play and Fright Night time) and directed by Holland, Thinner follows an legal professional named Billy Halleck. Halleck is profitable, if a bit shady on the subject of defending folks in court docket, and overweight. Nevertheless, his weight would not have an effect on him, and he lives fortunately along with his spouse Heidi and their daughter, Linda. One evening, after changing into “distracted” whereas driving, Halleck runs over a Romani lady and kills her. However he is an legal professional, and by shifting some items within the justice system, he is not charged. However, as he leaves the courthouse, the lifeless lady’s father curses him by touching his face and uttering the phrase “thinner.”

    Within the following days, Halleck begins to note that he is shedding pounds. Quickly.

It at present sits at 19% on Rotten Tomatoes and stays one among King’s most panned movies to come back from the studio system (it was launched by Paramount Photos).
