Fanatic (2026)
Director: Mateusz Jarmulski
A hero, consumed by a savage feud, chases his ambition with reckless abandon—only to discover that an existential crisis of manhood is far more lethal than any monster lurking in a dungeon. This brutal twist on fantasy tropes unravels a tale of characters so trapped in their own identities they remain blind to the apocalypse creeping in.
More About This Film
Fanatic is a horror film built around a terrifying idea of filmmaking taken to an extreme. A delusional man obsessed with becoming a famous director begins hunting theater-goers, recording their deaths as material for what he imagines will become his ultimate cinematic work.
The premise turns cinema itself into the source of the horror, playing on the relationship between audience, performer, filmmaker, and voyeur. Its combination of slasher violence and meta-cinematic ideas positions it firmly within modern extreme horror.
