Following on from its acclaimed festival run, Breaking Glass Pictures has released a poster and trailer for Thinestra, the body horror from director Nathan Hertz.
The film follows Penny, a young woman struggling with body dysmorphia who begins to take a mysterious weight-loss pill which comes with terrifying consequences when the weight she sheds forms into a blood-thirsty doppelgänger.
Thinestra tells the story of Penny (Michelle Macedo), a young woman tormented by body dysmorphia and relentless societal pressures around perfection. When Penny impulsively takes a mysterious, Ozempic-esque weight-loss drug, she experiences a horrifyingly literal transformation. The fat she sheds returns as her ravenous doppelgänger, Penelope (Melissa Macedo), and chaos ensues.
Set against a sweltering Los Angeles Christmas, the film explores obsession, shame, and appetite—transforming Penny’s internal struggle into a grotesque, darkly comedic horror spectacle.
