Movie Reviews

Combustible Celluloid - 7/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonThinner continues in a kind of cartoony vein, almost making fun of itself as it goes along, but not exactly getting any laughs.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Lawrence Van GelderA tale of negligent homicide, class warfare, vengeance, jealousy and murder, Stephen King's Thinner has the outlines of Shakespearean tragedy and the intellectual content of a jack o'lantern. But as such ventures go, this Halloween handout is more treat than trick, if your tastes run to dripping blood and repellent skin ailments. The production is slick, the Maine scenery is bracing, the characters are well-acted, and in a mumbo-jumbo movie with a few loose ends, the makeup central to the plot and applied by Greg Cannom and Bob Laden to Robert John Burke in the leading role is most admirable.
Boston Globe - 5/10 by Matthew GilbertHalloween makes fright fans even more tolerant than usual of second-rate horror pictures, and this one still doesn't cut the mustard.
San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by Mick LaSalleParticularly impressive is the film's success at making an actor of average weight look emaciated. His cheekbones are built up so his cheeks appear to sink.
Chicago Sun-Times - 4/10 by Avis L. WeathersbeeThere’s really nothing particularly fresh in this routinely crafted, banally scripted and directed effort. Mantegna’s humorously arrogant performance is the pic’s sole distinctive element, and it’s saved for the finale. Still, it’s just not good enough to make up for the rest of the drudgery and put a smile on one’s face leaving the theater.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 4/10 by Liam LaceyThere’s really nothing particularly fresh in this routinely crafted, banally scripted and directed effort. Mantegna’s humorously arrogant performance is the pic’s sole distinctive element, and it’s saved for the finale. Still, it’s just not good enough to make up for the rest of the drudgery and put a smile on one’s face leaving the theater.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by John AndersonThe problem with Thinner, which went unscreened for critics, is that it's medium-level King. It lacks the gravity of "Shawshank" and the crazed obsession of "Misery." It's more like "Needful Things," another good film of a lightweight story, with a few more servings of gore and gross-out humor to hold us over until the next big thing.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Dave KehrHolland's direction is functional, as befits the kind of cable fodder Thinner is destined to be.
Entertainment Weekly - 3/10 by Owen GleibermanInstead of exploiting the mystery and dread, or even the comedy, of Billy’s condition, Thinner turns into an excruciatingly low-grade pursuit thriller, with Billy hunting down the old Gypsy sage (Michael Constantine) who put the curse on him.
Radio Times - 2/10 by Alan JonesDirector Tom Holland's totally banal and pedestrian horror movie is the "thinner" end of the wedge as far as awful adaptations of King's books go.
