THINNER
Billy Halleck commits vehicular manslaughter when his lack of attention results in the death of an old gypsy lady on the street. Overweight Halleck is a lawyer with connections, though, and he gets off with a slap on the wrist. After the trial, the victim's ancient father curses him with a single word: thinner. Shedding weight by the week, Halleck is desperate enough for one last gamble; one that will lead him to a nightmare showdown with the forces of evil melting his flesh away.
