“An obsession gone mad.”

The premise
The hero-worship that Simone has for a pop singer is built to a crescendo until she passes out when she finally sees him up-close in a crowd of fans. She is later shocked when he lets her know that he does not love her.
Horror Vault's take
A teenage girl's all-consuming devotion to a West German synth-pop idol escalates far beyond admiration into something far darker and more dangerous. The film builds with mounting unease as the boundary between fan and fantasy collapses completely. What begins as recognizable teenage longing curdles into a deeply disturbing portrait of obsession taken to its most extreme conclusion.
