Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies Jan 27, 2024 2.5/4

A well-made adaptation of King’s work that balances body horror with questionable morality.

Even though the source material itself is flawed, the film has too many tonal inconsistencies to know whether to laugh at or be creeped out by the experience.

Thinner is jaw-droppingly bad: not only weirdly amateurish but regularly offensive.

A wretched excuse for a horror movie and a flat-out disgrace on every level.

Thinner continues in a kind of cartoony vein, almost making fun of itself as it goes along, but not exactly getting any laughs.

Mediocre Steven King adaptation. Interesting horror idea in light of society's obsession with dieting, but really just another horror movie.
