Swimfan
A seemingly idyllic high school existence fractures under the weight of escalating obsession in this psychological thriller. Ben, a promising swimmer with a secure future, finds his life spiraling as Madison, a new and determined classmate, fixates on him, transitioning from admiration to a consuming and unsettling pursuit. The narrative skillfully crafts a tense atmosphere not through overt violence, but through the insidious creep of Madison’s manipulation and the gradual erosion of Ben’s reality, fuelled by secrets and a disturbing power imbalance. Unlike typical teen romances, the film explores the terrifying vulnerability created by unchecked desire and the isolating impact of predatory behaviour, culminating in a devastating act that leaves both characters and the audience grappling with the aftermath of broken trust and a stolen innocence.
