The Fanatic (2019, USA) Dazzler Media DVD Review

Supposedly based on Limp Bizkit front man Fred Durst’s encounter with an obsessive fan, The Fanatic manages to offend every trope in the human spectrum. I try not to pan movies, no matter how much they deserve it, but The Fanatic welcomes, yes even begs the audience to do just that. Where to begin? Why not with the film’s star, John Travolta. Travolta has had a career downturn of late with Gotti roundly recognized as his worst performance, but here he plunges into a deep, bottomless ravine. The Fanatic makes Battlefield Earth look like Blade Runner by comparison.

“Moose didn’t just cross the line. He fucking nuked it!”

Screen legend John Travolta stars as Moose, a celebrity obsessed fan who feels slighted by his favourite movie star at an autograph convention. He quickly embarks on an unhinged quest to get a response, leading to a home invasion and a very long night that changes both men irreparably.

Written and directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst, and co-starring Devon Sawa and Ana Golja, The Fanatic is a tense and suspenseful thriller which boasts a commanding central performance from Travolta.

“When the Hollywood dream becomes a nightmare.”
