Makes me yearn to use colloquial phrases like 'sucks big time' and 'piece of crap,' but, alas, I cannot bring myself to do so except with quotation marks.

Consensus: As frustrating as a 404 error, Fear Dot Com is a stylish, incoherent, and often nasty mess with few scares.
Theatrical Release:Aug 30, 2002 Wide
Box Office: $13,138,876
Synopsis: "Do you like to watch?" A woman's voice beckons from the computer. Images flash across the screen - parted lips, bound wrists, flesh. Her seductive tone summons you closer, inviting you... [More]

Reviews for Fear Dot Com
Completely creatively stillborn and executed in a manner that I’m not sure could be a single iota worse... a soulless hunk of exploitative garbage.
09/06/02
A lackluster movie that is nonentheless extremely creepy, and made with a modicum of respect for an all too often disdained genre and its knowing fans.
09/05/02
Taken purely as an exercise in style, this oppressively gloomy techno-horror clambake is impossible to ignore. But as a movie, it's a humorless, disjointed mess.

Fear Dot Com is more frustrating than a modem that disconnects every 10 seconds.

Top CriticIt may not be very scary, but at least it’s funnier than Master of Disguise.
09/03/02
Intense, effective creepiness mated with inept, laughable policework - tragic to behold.
09/02/02
Two hours of sepia-tinted heavy metal images and surround sound effects of people moaning.

Promise me you won't go there.

In a year that has given us some of the worst films of all time, this must surely rank as the worst -- and that's a hard thing to do opposite Master of Disguise.
09/02/02
An awfully ridiculous horror film that thinks itself grandly mysterious and bone-shakingly horrifying.
09/01/02
A prime example of just how bad a bad movie can be.
09/01/02
It didn't take itself seriously enough as a legit horror/thriller to bother to avoid some of the lesser conventions of the genre -- or, for that matter, to just make sense.
09/01/02
A mess when it comes to the characters and writing...but works its way underneath the skin like few movies have in recent memory.
08/31/02
I'll go out on a limb. It isn't quite one of the worst movies of the year. It's just merely very bad.
08/31/02
The film's storyline is so convoluted and contradictory that it's difficult to figure out what question the film is asking, let alone find the answer.
08/31/02
What could have been a pointed little chiller about the frightening seductiveness of new technology loses faith in its own viability and succumbs to joyless special-effects excess.

Top CriticYou'd think Jeannie would be angry at mom for being so preposterously dim, but no, she's taking it out on people who surf the internet. You've been warned.
08/30/02
Going to the website may be just as fun (and scary) as going to the film.

With any luck, most moviegoers trying to log on to FeardotCom will find themselves confronted by a busy signal or an internal server error.
