Stephen King's Thinner (1996)

He was a mook, but he was my mook!
I have only read a couple of Stephen King's books, so I can't comment on whether this is a great adaptation, but it certainly was an interesting movie.
One has to stretch their imagination to believe in curses, but if you suspend belief for a while, this film is just plain scary. Not since The Machinist, have I seen such a figure as Robert John Burke (Good Night and Good Luck) as he went down to 120 pounds.
Joe Mantegna was great as the mob buddy. Michael Constantine was really a believable gypsy, and his daughter Kari Wuhrer (The Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting, Hellraiser: Deader) was one of the best parts of the movie. For Stephen King fans, he was in it also.
