Great lessons in this movie. Just goes to show that there are consequences to every action, lying to save your own arse doesn't get you anywhere in the end and revenge is never, ever sweet. Plus gluttony isn't exactly a good idea either. Unfortunately I've never read the book on this one so I can't say if the movie has done it justice but then they rarely do. The acting could've been a bit better ... read more

Another great take on a Stephen king novel! this one directed by Tom Holland, about a rather large, careless man who accidently kills a gypsy with his car due to not paying attention/recieving road head. Placed on him is a curse which makes him thinner, and thinner.. and you get the idea. Before long, Billy Halleck realizes he is not sticking to his diet, yet he is still losing a remarkable amount... read more

An obese lawyer finds himself growing “Thinner” when an old gypsy man places a hex on him. Now the lawyer must call upon his friends in organized crime to help him persuade the gypsy to lift the curse. Time is running out for the desperate lawyer as he draws closer to his own death, and grows ever thinner.

Viimeinen elokuvapäiväkirja 2018 (402 movies items)

"29.6. (DVD) #leffahaaste2018 Elokuvan pääosa ei osaa olla luonteva läskipuvussa, mutta mustalaiskirouksen saatuaan hän onneksi alkaa laihtua. Siitä se luontevuus sitten löytyy. Haasteleffoista kirjoittaminen tuntuu typerältä ja tämä oli melko camp-henkistä Kingiä ysäriltä. Loppuratkaisu piirakan kera tuntui tutulta. Olenko tulossa hulluksi vai olenko nähnyt tämän aiemmin?"
