The Fan

A film must have three qualities for me to qualify it as a great film. First it must have a soundtrack the appropriately carries the film without being too forward. Next, a film must have the ability the convey true emotion without relying on a lot of dialogue to keep the viewer aware of engaged. Lastly, it must have a hidden, less obvious message that mimics the entire feel of a film. The fan is one of the best films I have seen in many years, granted its not for the mainstream movie goer or even a cult horror "FAN." It moves at a pace that is slowly romantic, but for a good reason. Most films that move at this pace rarely go anywhere and leave the viewer with a feeling of being left out of a directors cruel inside joke. Not The Fan! I was a little nervous about the english over dub, but was presently surprised that most of the dialogue was a voice over. If you are a fan of minimal wave, sleeper suspense, or just on the hunt for a lesser known expressionist film....Watch The Fan!

Finally the uncut version of the fan or to give it it's proper name der fan has been released previously the only version of this that was available was a censored English DVD which cut the full frontal nudity probably because Desiree nosbusch who did the nudity was 16 years old at the time now an uncut DVD blu ray combo is available buy this and forget the British DVD you will not be sorry that you did

Wow, I have seen this movie once before a long time ago so I was excited to come back to it and it did not disappoint.This is possibly one of the most disturbing, emotionally charged films I've ever seen.For the most part it's very subtle.It definitely takes its time and builds the dread and the mood.It just builds and builds and builds.If you have a hard time with slow burning movies, you most certainly will have a tough time with this one.But if you are a moviegoer that looks for a good slow boiler, you will definitely be rewarded with this film.Désirée Nosbusch plays the part of an emotionally obsessed teenage girl perfectly.She hits every note.And something that particularly stood out for me on this viewing was the fact that she looks like Taylor Swift.Which made the whole experience even more terrifying when you see where it goes.Hahahaha!Expertly directed by German filmmaker Eckhart Schmidt, this movie literally had me inching closer and closer to the edge of my seat.I've read other reviews that said its boring, and I can get that.It's definitely not for everyone.But I couldn't disagree more.I love his movie and I'm happy that it finally got an HD blu ray release.It looks fantastic.I also love that it gives you options.You can watch the original German cut with subtitles or you can have the choice to watch it with an English dub.Not much in the way of special features beside text bios on the making of the film and individual actors.However, it does include a 20 minute interview with the director, which was very interesting and very much appreciated.If you love this movie, you are going to love this release.If you haven't seen it and you want a slow burner that lingers on the uncomfortable tension, then I would give this one a shot.Love it.Great cover art too!

Great movie, slow burner though. Payoff in the end is totally worth it & the soundtrack keeps you interested with it's 80's synth/new wave vibe.

I'm glad I purchased this blu ray!This movie is awesome and so dramatic!The picture quality is amazing and the sound is very good. I highly recommend this to any horror fan.Mondo Macabro made a good decision to remaster this for a blu ray release.They really have a good taste in movies.

One woman has a couple topless scenes and one full frontal side view. There is another VERY brief scene that has two women topless. It is so brief it is almost not worth mentioning.

I don't like necromantik, but this one is romantic in a crazy way. This girl is pretty and crazy. This is the uncensored version. I would defenetly recommend that one

Excellent!

Sexy aber verstörend.

ボカシなしで先ず驚きました。昔、映画館で観たことがあり、急に主人公のドイツ女性が懐かしく？なって、タイトルも分からず、上映時期とドイツ作品の情報だけで何とか辿りつきました。今観ると、そもそも単調なストーリーのせいもあり、当時ほどの衝撃はありませんが、その後日本では（現在も）この種の事件が何度か発生しており、動機は異なるものの、あながちフィクションとも割り切れません。

In the new wave punk rock era here's a European young teenager who is very obsessed with this rock star ,she has images in her mind about him her whole life is taking away from her normal routine .The film moves in away very intense how far this young person is going to go with this. It comes to a point she wants to meet Ero .Eventually she does and gets used at the end. With the last conclusion to keep him all to herself is to digest him insider her! This film is brilliant since it was done in Europe in away we think differently of a different kind of obsessed girl over a star . It was slow and moving in its own way. The director in the features expressed his emotions very well about this movie.Gave his points very clear about this story. If you love foreign films in this different way about a person who is out of the the norm than you will love this one .this is no ordinary fan. It's been mastered in dts-hd master audio. Mono . 1.1 does sound good and good HD picture .

If you've searched, for this DVD chances are you know the plot, if not here goes: Simone has a major crush on popular a singer known only as 'R', a crush that soon becomes an obsession that will change both of their lives forever.Sorry if that's a bit vague but I don't want to give too much away for those out there who have not seen it. This is film that stays with you long after the credits have rolled, it's well shot and acted and yes there is the dodgy dubbing but it's not that bad ( there are far worse) and the music is great, so much so I've recently downloaded Rheingold's augenblick!Mondo macabro's blue ray DVD combo is the best version of this film you're gonna get. The picture, while not perfect, is pretty damn good and the disk has a few good extras as well as being uncut. If you like films that are a little different and you're not afraid to be taken to some dark places, you should definitely add this to your collection!

War erst zum Ende hin etwas spannend
