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.
Thinestra will premiere on North American streaming platforms on April 14, 2026. Prepare for a film that is equal parts grotesque horror, dark comedy, and psychological insight—one that will linger long after the credits roll.
