Thinner is the tale of a fat lawyer who becomes cursed by an ugly old gypsy and starts to lose weight at an alarming rate. This is based on the Stephen King book of the same name and remains faithful to the source material. As the hapless lawyer realises the weight loss won't stop until he dies he desperately fights back against the gypsy who cursed him enlisting the help of a mafia buddy. This is entertaining stuff but fairly light weight in horror terms.
