David DeCoteau on

The Fan

Released 1981
Distributor Paramount Pictures

Released in the bleak aftermath of John Lennon’s murder, The Fan, with its story of a deadly celebrity stalking, hit a little too close to home to be a hit, in spite of the high pedigree of its cast including Lauren Bacall, James Garner and Maureen Stapleton. The film boasts a typical Pino Donnagio score, an unnerving blend of romance and horror. Director Ed Bianchi went on to produce HBO’s Deadwood.
