A very bizarre experience.
It's hard to find words to describe The Fanatic, since everyone, who saw the movie already said everything that needed to be said about it. It's a very bizarre movie with so many things that are very weak or very bad and you can tell that no one didn't had any passion while making it. Every choice that they did was the wrong one. This is probably John Travolta's lowest point that he has been in his entire career and gives the worst performance that i've seen this year.
The story was so horribly written that i was questioning everything that was happening from the beginning to the end. The way John Travolta's character was written and portrayed in the movie was very bad and the character Hunter Dunbar was so rude throughout the whole movie he doesn't have a reason to treat the main character like that. Both characters do so many things that are very stupid and weird. The movie failed at almost everything and i had a hard time finding positives, but it was impossible and unfortunately it's one of the worst movies of the year.

NOT THAT BAD!
I was late to the party on this and I went in to it not expecting much but more curious as to why it's an underground cult classic.
I honestly don't think it deserves such a poor score. Ok, it's not the highest budgeted movie in the world, with the best script but I can honestly say I have definitely seen far worse. It was watchable and it kept my attention.
Travolta did such a good job with this character that I genuinely felt sorry for him at the end - Moose didn't deserve to be hurt.
As for Sawa's character he's definitely typecast in to very similar roles and genres - I wish he'd be cast in something different.

So bad it's good.
This movie may well outshine The Room in years to come. Amazing, in the worst kind of way.
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
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie is loosely based in a real event in director Fred Durst's life, in which a fan of the band Limp Bizkit (of which Durst was the vocalist) stalked him. Moose's way of dress (the Hawaiian shirt, the shorts and the kind of bad sneakers) was based in the clothes that Durst's stalker always wore.
- GoofsWhen Dunbar is making a smoothie, after kissing the maid the blender is empty.
- Crazy creditsFor some reason, all opening credits are repeated at the end of the film.
