Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Sad and pathetic that two people felt necessary to leave ten-star reviews on this board. Trust me when I say that ".Com For Murder" is one of the worst films in the history of bad films. More than an almost plagiaristic ripoff of Hitchcock (and Kubrick) but also just offensive to the audience.One scene for instance, as to just how STUPID this movie is... the killer cuts Nicolette Sheridon's wrist, and tells her "you will die in exactly twenty minutes." Does Nicolette raise her arm to slow the bleeding? Does she attempt to bandage the wound? Nope, she just sits there like a blonde Barbie doll for NINETEEN MINUTES while the killer terrorizes her friend, the camera cutting to a clock to remind the viewer she only has so many minutes left. Then her friend gets to her just in time and bandages the wrist, and TWO MINUTES LATER the killer pulls off the bandage and the countdown begins again, from the top. "In twenty minutes you'll be dead, haha." This is the last (hopefully the last) of a long list of turds from director Nico Mastorakis, the Greek's answer to Edward D. Wood. Frankly, at least Mr. Wood's movies were so bad you could laugh at them. Not so with ".Com For Murder," which is simply an insult to the viewer.

and boy did this movie test my resolve. This is a damn awful movie that is neither scary, creepy, or suspenseful. The dialogue is terrible and the acting is even worse. No one in this movie ever has the appropiate reaction to any situation. And the villian is just so bad he's not scary, he's laughable. You know you are in trouble when the best acting performance in your movie is by Huey Lewis. And is it just me or is it odd hearing Huey Lewis say the F* word. I guess it's not hip to be square anymore.

Kill it!!! This movie sucked. It wasn't worth my time or the time of my friends. I am disgusted that people would actually allow this film to be shown with as terrible as it was. There was hardly any dialog worth listening to and the special effects weren't that special. Oh please do not forget the fact that the things the guy did with his pc were pretty unbelievable and unrealistic. All I have to say about this movie is that it is total s***.

.com for Murder stands on its own, even if it borrows significantly from Alfred Hitchcock. In a sense, this is a formula movie with its twists and turns. Nastassja Kinski is the featured actress in the leading role, as well as being credited as a co-associate producer, and she turns in her usual professional performance, although she never seems to be overly stretched in what she does on screen. Sometime in the not too distant future, this movie will be dated because of its reliance on depicting near state of the art technology and Internet. This is a very enjoyable movie that has been well crafted by Nico Mastorakis. It is more than worth the price of the DVD because there are interviews which strangely do not include ones with either Nastassja Kinski or Nicollette Sheridan, the other principal female lead in the movie. The DVD has a short, but interesting, documentary on the making of the movie. If there is one attribute that seems to run throughout the characters played by Nastassja, they are all strong females who never break into hysterics, screaming and out of control.
