Fatal Obsession: The Female Psychopath in Swimfan, The Loved Ones, Crush & The Roommate

Author: Hosted by Shannon and Cathy | Horror Both Real and Fictional March 12, 2025 Duration: 27:20

What makes an obsessive female psychopath tick? In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we dive into four films that give us their version of the dangerously fixated woman: Swimfan, The Loved Ones, Crush, and The Roommate. We analyze how these movies portray female psychopaths—do they get the psychology right, or are they just leaning into the crazy ex-girlfriend trope? With a mix of psychological insight and humor, we break down each character’s obsessive behaviors, manipulation tactics, and terrifying persistence. Plus, we mention a few other films that fit this theme.

Join us for a conversation filled with analysis, laughs, and a little fear of anyone who seems too interested in your whereabouts.
