To me, this movie is perfection.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A serial killer known as The Doctor (Stephen Rea) is streaming his gruesome handiwork live over the internet for the entertainment of twisted individuals. Meanwhile, the spirit of one of The Doctor's previous victims has set up her own online torture portal (don't ask me how), punishing those who are tempted to watch by killing them 48 hours later. New York cop Mike (Stephen Dorff) is on the case, aided by Department of Health worker Terry (Natascha McElhone).Director William Malone gave us the entertaining 1999 remake of House on Haunted Hill, but his follow-up, Feardotcom, is far less satisfying: the plot is wholly unoriginal (it's basically The Ring, with a website instead of a video, plus a bit of torture porn), the convoluted script is a mess, the performances are weak, and the whole affair is given an aesthetic guaranteed to get my goat-trite blue and orange palette, rapid editing, and lots of dark imagery with flickering lighting (just like 90% of horror films from the same decade).In the film's most ridiculous scenes, both Mike and Terry visit feardotcom.com (why the double .com? See IMDb's trivia for the lame reason) despite being well aware of what will happen to them in two days' time. That's dedication beyond the call of duty, but also pretty damned stupid. As is this film.

A cop investigating a string of deaths discovers a website seemingly haunted by a ghost seeking revenge on her killer. Upon visiting the site the visitor has 48 hours to find said killer or the vengeful spirit will kill them. At least, I think thats what happened. FeardotCom manages to take a very silly but simple storyline and make it both confusing and frustrating to watch, all whilst boring its audience half to death. About 50% of the film made me feel like I was watching a cheap, early 2000's music video for a Nine Inch Nails cover band. I think they may have been going for something similar to Se7en in tone but fell very, very short of the mark. The one redeeming feature of this film is its internet naivety - its set shortly before the whole Web 2.0 thing and because of this the titular scary website appears to be hosted on an angelfire or tripod site which I found amusing. No dancing baby gif's unfortunately. The C-list cast each delivers a suitably ropey performance and there is very little in the way of scares. Perhaps BoringdotCom might have been a more apt title.

I brought this today with not looking at the reviews on here as i now try not to be influences by what people say before i watch the film, so when i did finally come on here to read the comments I was astonished to find it was rated so low. This is similar to Untraceable about the Internet and what its potential can cause somebody , This had the potential to be such a great film as there was a good story and background but the ending ruined it for me so crappy Nothing remotely scary about it If you wish to view it then do There's nothing wrong with it just not as good as it could be So because of the horrible ending And minor scary effects I rate this A 4 overall

I caught this movie on Lifetime (my favorite channel along with WeTV) and I thought since it was on their (they have such good taste for REAL dramas) network that it must be great. Instead this movie offended me. For one this movie was so scary that I was afraid to get on my computer for days, much less the internet! When I was watching this I had to turn on all my lights! I don't like getting scared! Plus this was too internet themed! I think it is a bad idea exploiting women like this! The only reason I gave it a point five was because Lifetime has great taste. Maybe they saw something in this? I didn't. Anyways don't see this movie! It's too scary, and too internet themed!
