An Adequate Adaptation…
…for a King work: they’ve always had a mixed track record. Generally this one is a tribute to the F/X wizardry as Robert John Burke goes through multiple transformations. That in itself is pretty horrifying. Most of the King subtleties have been sucked out of it, but what’s new? It’s basically a decent supernatural thriller. There is a slow, relentless horror to the whole thing, which doesn’t rely on huge “jump out of the closet” shocks (although there are a few of those). Basically a horror movie for adults.
Decent flick but WAY over-dramatized
I have always been a big fan of the novel “Thinner”, by Richard Bachman (Stephen King). It strays from the typical horror/gore plot, and focuses a lot more on issues of class warfare and social injustices. I have always seen this book as the story of a WASPy rich white lawyer having his bubble burst and being forced into a sort of compassion for the Gypsies and drifters of this world.This movie was decent, not great. If you’re going to watch it because you liked the book, be warned that almost every major plot event has been exaggerated and “Hollywood-ized” to the point of ridiculousness.
For example, instead of Richard Ginelly being the gentlemanly and sophisticated Mafia don from the novel, the movie portrays him as a bloodthirsty maniac who can’t be stopped once he’s started his “work”. I noticed this in the film adaptation of “Shawshank Redemption” as well.. It’s a shame that filmmakers feel that the average moviegoer won’t enjoy subtlety or sophistication. They obviously feel that they need to whack us over the head with their films in order to get their points across.
Rent this flick if you’re a fan of movies like “Sleepwalkers” or the more recent films in the Hellraiser series… definitely entertaining, but unfortunately, not something I can take completely seriously.
