This short documentary directed by and starring Bruce Campbell is part of the special features available on The Evil Dead (since that's his best known film role, besides cameos in Spider-Man). He basically wanted to get opinions from some celebrities, public and the people he is finding out about themselves, fanatics. The documentary sees what makes a fan/fanatic in terms of their obsessions, habits, dress sense and ultimate love for mostly American films and television programmes, e.g. Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek and Xena: Warrior Princess. The fanatics that feature and are mentioned can be over-the-top and real freaks, but then again I suppose I am one, because I love to watch many films, and I have a big DVD collection, but I'm certainly not dressing like Darth Maul or changing my name. The film also sees Campbell himself target to fans at a special evening showing The Evil Dead, autograph signing, photos and judging ridiculous costumes. With contributions from Ted Raimi (Evil Dead director Sam's brother) and ginger, idiotic and geeky critic Harry Jay Knowles. Very good!
