Every New Year’s Eve, millions of people write out their resolutions for what they plan to do over the next 365 days (366 days in 2024). The top thing is always “lose weight.” Stephen King found a unique diet that allows you to eat all you can as you shed pounds. You could find out about this diet in Thinner (which King published as Richard Bachman). The secret to the diet was getting a curse thrown on you. This curse caused the person to shrivel way to nothing if they don’t continual stuff their face. The novel was brought to the screen by Tom Holland, the director behind Child’s Play and Fright Night. The movie has a cameo from Stephen King himself. Thinner: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray arrives in January with new bonus features. Here’s the press release from Scream Factory:

A 109-year-old Romani man (Michael Constantine, My Big Fat Greek Wedding), hell-bent on revenge for the death of his daughter, exacts a shocking curse that compels its victim to gorge himself in an effort to avoid shrinking away to nothingness. With time running out from this bizarre and relentless torture, the accursed man must find a way to reverse his predicament, though death is quickly becoming his only option.
