4.0 out of 5 stars Spooky, holds your interest, but not for everyone, November 13, 2002

Whew! What a trip. This movie is about a stalker, reminiscent of FATAL ATTRACTION, but with some differences - this time the chilling menacing character is a teenager, she doesn't become pregnant that we know of, and she's if anything all the more chilling and menacing. Her name is Madison Bell (not a Wisconsin phone company), and she's played be Erika Christensen. It's a movie and a performance one will never forget (Caution - it could cause nightmares!). Her prey is a guy in a seemingly hunky-dory relationship with a girlfriend. Some reviewers want to make this a morality play about "don't cheat on your girlfriend" but that is really missing the point. Yes, her prey does have a "one-night-stand" with Madison. But that doesn't seem to turn her into a crazed stalker; it seems undoubtably that she was a crazed stalker already! Any attempts to blame the victim just don't wash at all in this case. It reminds me of what I've often heard recently from one news commentator, that there IS such a thing as just plain evil. Madison is evil; we needn't require that we find something that made her that way. If things that happened to her contributed to the way she is, that was all undoubtably before the movie's time frame. She clearly would have been menacing to her prey with or without his succumbing to the "one-night-stand"; that isn't a key plot turn in this case. And heaven help any unattached guy that Madison might have gone after -- this is definitely not mainly about cheating on one's girlfriend! I found this a highly watchable and captivating thriller, but not everybody would. A certain boy friend I know found it entirely "too close for comfort", and quite understandably so, as he's been the victim of a female stalker. By no means can one blame him for not warming up to this as "entertainment"!

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new, April 29, 2003

This review is from: Swimfan (DVD)

I feel like I've seen this movie a hundred times already. The story has been done to death. Swimfan offers nothing new. No surprises, no scary moments, no nothing. And these high school kids look to be about 30 years old. There's not even decent swimming footage...

I had huge hopes for this movie and when it was over not a bad flick.At times it was very predictable and been done before a 100 times over.But i knew that going in ,the acting was very convincing and top notch.My only cheif complaint it needed to be at least another 15 - 20 minutes longer.For me this is more like a guilty pleasure like film.Others will enjoy while some may think its a complete waste .Overall it delivers on most fronts and is very fast paced.I have always been a fan for this type of genre boarding on horror, so my opinion may be a little biased.
