Ben Cronin (Jesse Bradford) has everything going for him: he is the school’s star swimmer, he has just earned a swimming scholarship to Stanford, and he has a beautiful girlfriend, Amy (Roswell’s Shiri Appleby). One slip-up with Madison, the new girl in town, sends his life into a downward spiral. In the same vein as Fatal Attraction, Swimfan is a cautionary tale about deadly obsession.

Critics Consensus: A Fatal Attraction rip-off, Swimfan is a predictable, mediocre thriller.

Trace Thurman

An erotic thriller that is neither erotic nor thrilling. Fatal Attraction, this ain't.

A painful bellyflop from beginning to end, John Polson, in his first major directorial outing, and novice screenwriters Charles F. Bohl and Phillip Schneider, leave the film floundering in deep waters with no life preservers or life boats in sight.

A decent (if completely forgettable) thriller...

Haven't we all seen this already? Too many times?

I've seen this before, it's called "Fatal Attraction"...
