Thinner

I rarely hear any positive comments about this film. I found it to be a rather good King adaptation...far better than most of his others. I like the ambiguity of the main character and the fact that there really isn't a "good guy." The make-up was also astounding IMO. So my question is why the negativity? If you hate Thinner, give me your reasons. Likewise if you liked it.

I thought it was a good adaptation of the book, but it was just not scary or creepy. It might just be me, but curses and hat sort of thing dont scare me much.

I thought it was pretty good, the ending was great though.

I absolutely loved this one...Probably because it was a bit closer to the book than most are:)

I also really like this one, but I agree that you rarely hear raves for it. Very well done in my opinion and it gets better the more you view it.

I've been thinking about watching this movie but then again I've been thinking about it for several years >.>;;;. I was anorexic once so the whole idea just scares me. Stupid reason not to watch a movie, yes, but I just find the concept scarier than most I guess.
