      Prophecy of Sin and Punishment

      I finished watching this not-so-horror horror film today. Although the filming is relatively simple, the story told is quite exciting. It tells the profound truth of crime and punishment with a simple plot. It is worth watching.

      Let's take a look at the film from the fate of several important characters.

      The judge and the sheriff, these two are relatively important soy sauce roles. They were both cursed by the old magician for helping the fat man get off the...

      "Life and desire are endless" - watch "Thinner"

      One of the original sins of Christianity is "gluttony." The human desire and thirst for food is a source of evil.

      At the beginning of the film, the first person to appear is a bloated and fat man, wearing high-end clothing, weighing 300 pounds, while his wife is very slim and beautiful. This fat man is the protagonist of the movie. The protagonist is a very good lawyer, and the film starts off by winning a lawsuit for the Italian mafia, who eat and drink to celebrate. On the way home...

      Who should die?

      The male protagonist in the film has several options for killing:

      1. When visiting the perjured sheriff, the sheriff wanted to shoot him to kill the gypsies. At that time, he believed that the curse could be lifted through communication, but he refused.

      2. The male protagonist failed to negotiate with the gypsies. He said to them in the gypsy gathering area, I will curse you. This is a curse from the white people in the city. At this time, I thought he had murdered them to...

      A particularly interesting script, karma, two-way curse, what's even more exciting is that the male protagonist changed from the main bearer of the accident to the victim, and then became the perpetrator in the latter part, and became the "Gypsy" who imposed the curse. From the initial accident, both the male protagonist and the gypsies are actually responsible, but the gypsies have always been despised and unfair by the white people and even the world, and they have done a set of "Gypsy...

    Film Critic 1: "": The ugliness of human nature

    It is also the work of master Stephen King. His novels always frighten you while dissecting human nature. It seems that Gypsy people are very evil. In fact, this is just the nature of primitive human beings. Family members are killed, but they cannot get a fair trial in the legal society. Then they can only simply take revenge on those bad people and curse them. This is human instinct. The protagonist of the story seems to have been...

    Film review 2: : full of characters, not enough horror

    A good story may not always be adapted into a good movie. The film "Thinner" is a vivid example. As Stephen King's work, the quality of the original story cannot be said, but it is difficult to become a classic after being adapted into a movie. The reason is that the horror and mystery of the movie are not enough.
    On the whole, the rhythm of the movie is too slow, and it even makes people feel that the plot is a little procrastinated....
