Konterr Brilliant and touching

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Sebadonut 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.

bassettsfarm To be honest, I was hopeful about this film. Some good scares at the beginning. Then the plot was definitely lost!The final straw for me came when we were reliably informed that the little blonde girl had been a haemophiliac. Newsflash.....only BOYS can be haemophiliacs. Total rubbish!

NateWatchesCoolMovies FearDotCom is a thoroughly lazy, deeply awful hunk of excrement. What makes it so bad is the sheer potential of its concept, squandered on a brain-meltingly generic serial killer story that we've all seen hundreds of times. After a rainy prologue (the whole thing seems to take place in a perpetual monsoon) involving a short lived and painfully underused Udo Kier, we're told that multiple victims have begun to disappear 48 hours after logging on to some freaky website called fear.com. The rest of the film could have gone a bunch of different cool and inspired ways, but nooo… instead it plods along with a Detective (Stephen Dorff) and a sanitation worker (Natasha McElhone should know better than to take a second look at scripts like this) as they hunt the proprietor of the web domain, a nasty yet ultimately boring murderer played by Neil Jordan's thespian of choice, Stephen Rea, who also should know better than to wander into this mess. Now, all that could be forgiven, seeing as how potential is pisssed away every hour in Hollywood, it's just par for the course. But where the film really, truly messes the bed is it's DVD art. I remember specifically avoiding the aisle that housed this flick back in the days of blockbuster, because the images on the cover were so uniquely scary. There's a horrific looking mannequin girl, dead bodies arranged in a way that would give Dali nightmares and just a general uneasy look to the box. Thing is, none of that stuff actually shows up in the film anywhere. It's either a con job, butchered editing or the industry's hugest distribution error. For years I was petrified by those images, only to finally get a chance to see the thing, and go: "This?! This is the film that that wickedly memorable horror show of a cover advertised!? Weak…" All we get out of it is a dour, boring, barely conscious bottom of the barrel shocker outing that leaves no lasting impression whatsoever. You're better off buying the DVD, whipping the disc off your balcony like a frisbee and framing the cover on the living room wall to freak your kids out.

noahmilomatt OK what's up with all the bad feed back? This movie is awesome! It wasn't what I thought it would be but it still was a great movie! I highly recommend buying this. It's also cheap. But basically in a nutshell this movie is about a website that is controlled by a guy who torture his victims until they beg him to die. But I someone else wants revenge(his first victim). Who ever goes on Feardotcom has 48 hours of hallucinations of a little girl and when the clock strikes 48 hours the person dies by their worst FEAR! It was only 4 bucks and trust me it's worth it. But I pretty much like every horror movie. But you can trust me if there is a bad one. I'll be writing other reviews so piece out for now!
