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

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

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.
