10 Horror Movies Everyone Wished Were Way Crazier

High schools have always made great settings for a horror movie, but centring one around a high school swimming team? Maybe not.

That's the scene we find ourselves in with Swimfan, a 2002 horror movie about Ben (Jesse Bradford), a successful teenage swimmer who finds himself in the crosshairs of a stalker.

Played by Erika Christensen, Madison becomes obsessed with Ben after the two have a one night stand. She will stop at nothing to get the object of her desires to notice her, including... make a shrine to him... and sending him e-mails...

Right.

Whilst Madison does go to some more extreme lengths like spiking Ben with steroids and murdering his best friend, that's about it. Seriously, only one murder in a stalker movie? What are we, five years old?

The movie gets away with quite a lot for a PG-13, but it never quite feels dangerous enough to fully invest you in the action. In the end, it's a pretty bland affair with one of the most conventional endings you could possibly think of.

Also, there's one only pool-based death! Talk about a missed opportunity.
