John Travolta in The Fanatic (2019)
Moose is a rabid movie fan who is obsessed with his favourite celebrity action hero, Hunter Dunbar. When he is cheated out of his opportunity to finally meet Hunter, Moose gets a little help from his friend Leah, a well-connected paparazzi photographer, who knows how to find celebrity homes. Moose turns to stalking to get the celebrity interaction he feels he deserves, and while harmless at first, Moose's actions begin to take a dark turn as his obsession grows stronger. As the visits continue to escalate, Hunter Dunbar finds himself in increasing danger.

    • Goofs
      Moose has an irregular income, has to borrow money and barely makes enough money from his street work. Unless he is on welfare (which is never stated), it is unclear how he makes enough money to rent an apartment or run a moped.

      Moose: [to store manager] Hey Aaron!

      Aaron: Chocolate mousse!

      Moose: I can't talk too long. I gotta poo.

    Better than expected by far
    Lots of higher scoring horror/thriller type movies released lately and they're all trash. This low scorer roped me in because of Fred Durst and John Travolta, a little slow to start but Travolta pulls off an almighty all out out crazy that's worth waiting for. Theres few hidden eggs and the line "she is not a good nurse" really tickled me. Give it a go it's actually alright. Better than a 4 - I'd of thought it to be a 5.5
