YouTube Movies and Shows
I am a fan of 1990s Stephen King flicks, and Thinner is one of my favorites.
Finally free on YouTube, so I had to see it again. This movie is the story of an obese man who kills a woman and tries to get away with it. He succeeds in a worldly sense, but is drawn into a curse and loses weight rapidly, which ends up putting him into a world of terror.
Revenge is a common theme in horror stories. We are often outside of the ability to adequately address and redress our wrongs, and we end up powerless. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. Best to avoid curses and cursing those who have wronged us.
It's a great flick. See it for free on YouTube or rent it at your local public library.
Would that include holding grudges?
I guess one way to do away with vengeance, cursing, and grudges is... forgiveness.
Some horror stories, while looking shallow and juvenile, are actually allegories for our own lives and the horror we can put ourselves in.
Regarding Thinner, I don't even know if I've seen it. Saw a few good King films in the 90s, a few dumb ones too LOL
I agree. Forgiveness is the goal, and is essential to move on. This film highlights the folly of revenge, as the protagonist ends up inadvertently killing his whole family and his doctor friend as well as himself while pursuing revenge. He lost his soul for it, and forgiveness sets us free.
