Thinner: A Hexing Curse That Threatens to Consume All In the film Thinner, a 109-year-old Romani woman places a curse on an obese lawyer named Billy Halleck after he accidentally kills her daughter in a car accident. The curse, known as "thinner," causes Billy to rapidly lose weight, and he must find a way to lift the curse before it's too late. Despite his efforts to reason with the Romani woman's father, Tadzu, and enlisting the help of a Mafia boss, Billy's situation becomes more dire as those around him who have been cursed begin to commit suicide. In a desperate attempt to break the curse, Billy gives his wife Heidi a pie made with his own blood, which she eats, resulting in her death. When Billy's daughter Linda eats some of the pie for breakfast, he is overcome with guilt and prepares to eat the rest himself. However, his plans are interrupted by Dr. Mike Houston at the door amidst suspicions of an affair between Mike and Heidi. With no choice left but to consume the remaining pie or risk being consumed by it himself first due both self inflicted starvation and/or suicide via undead cursed murder victim/cannibalism ritualistic act against someone else that may also spread such affliction - what will happen next? Will there still be any hope left within reach? Find out in this chilling story about deadly spells cast from one generation onto another when provoked beyond measure over centuries long life times past!
