YMMV / Swimfan

• Catharsis Factor: Madison's demise is at the least a relief even if not outright therapeutic.
• Cliché Storm: This film has been widely derided for basically being a near-complete ripoff of Fatal Attraction.
• Complete Monster: Madison Bell, prior to events of the movie, causes a car accident that puts her boyfriend Jake Donnelly in a coma when he tried to get away from her possessive influence. After a torrid one-night-stand with Ben Cronin, she becomes possessive of him to the point that she begins to ruin his life in the pettiest of ways when he rejects her further advances. This involves switching the meds of a sick patient he looks after and nearly killing the man and getting Ben kicked off his swim team for steroid use by getting involved with his friend Josh and using him as a placeholder for Ben. Madison then kills Josh after he figured out what she did and frames Ben for the murder. She then runs down Ben's girlfriend Amy Miller with a car, tries to kill her cousin Christopher when he imitates her boyfriend Jake and then when arrested, shoots and kills the two cops in the car. Madison also attacks Ben's mother and ends her reign of terror by handcuffing Amy to a chair, taunting her and then pushing Amy in the pool so she'll drown.
• Moral Event Horizon: While the patient Ben was taking care of managed to survive, Madison killing Josh is probably the tipping point into this.
• Unintentional Period Piece: A few scenes involving pay phones and beepers turn the movie into this.
