Movie Reviews #15 - Thinner (1996)





















Plot: (from imdb.com) A lawyer is cursed by a gypsy to lose weight...and lose weight...and lose weight...

Review: This movie goes through the expected motions early on but as you get deeper into it, it gets better. It’s surprisingly multi layered. No one is a true here or villain, they are all both good and bad. The main character especially has his moments where you feel sympathy for him and then others where he’s just really evil. But then again, the gypsys are not that saintly or innocent either and they go both ways also. The story goes further then I expected and in the end turned out pretty good. The concept just sounds like an extended episode of tales from the crypt, but it gives just that little extra bit that makes it interesting.

Score: 7/10
