10 Worst PG-13 Horror Films Since 2000

By Ian Watson /

6. Swimfan

Swimfan is slickly-made and technically well-crafted, but it€™s all in the service of a Bugsy Malone version of Fatal Attraction, whose target audience was born the year Adrian Lynne€™s movie came out. In keeping with the original, The Blonde is cunning-but-psychotic, The Brunette is wholesome-but-bland and The Hunky Guy gets caught up in a number of increasingly silly situations. You see, Madison (Erika Christensen) is a teenage psycho who wants revenge on Ben (Jesse Bradford) for being dumped, so she gives him steroids without his knowledge. When Ben€™s urine tests positive for drugs, he€™s thrown off the school swimming team forever. It used to be a truism of Bad Movies that only beautiful people had great sex, but Swimfan goes one better: they also live in the finest neighbourhoods, attend the best schools and only listen to bland and inoffensive pop songs. If you€™re looking for the spawn of Fatal Attraction and Friends, this is it.
