Tom Holland’s THINNER is a semi-underappreciated Stephen King adaptation that is most notable for the outstanding make-up work by Greg Cannom and a handful of gleefully hammy performances. Soon you’ll be able to eat it all up in high-definition when the flick hits Blu-ray on AUGUST 21st courtesy of Olive Films.

When an old gypsy man curses Billy Halleck for sideswiping his daughter, six weeks later he’s ninety-three pounds lighter. Now Billy is terrified. And desperate enough for one last gamble…that will lead him to a nightmare showdown with the forces of evil melting his flesh away.
