This intensely derivative mishmash owes its creepiest images and conceits to other films.

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
What we get in FearDotCom is more like something from a bad Clive Barker movie. In other words, it's badder than bad.

Top CriticIt’s tough to be startled when you’re almost dozing.
08/30/02
It misses the big picture, the story is impossibly lame, but you can't say it doesn't have style.
08/30/02
Top CriticThis is a grim, ugly exercise that has nothing to say about the dangers of cyberporn.
08/30/02
The only upside to all of this unpleasantness is, given its Labor Day weekend upload, FearDotCom should log a minimal number of hits.

Top CriticA vile, incoherent mess...a scummy ripoff of David Cronenberg's brilliant 'Videodrome.'
08/30/02
The only thing you have to fear ... is being trapped in a theater showing this dot-bomb.

The only thing scary about feardotcom is that the filmmakers and studio are brazen enough to attempt to pass this stinker off as a scary movie.
08/30/02
The screenplay is a mess, and yet the visuals are so creative this is one of the rare bad films you might actually want to see.

Top CriticFeardotcom invents a whole new kind of bad.
08/30/02
Even the trickle of tit shots didn't do much for me.
08/30/02
Nonsensical, dull "cyber-horror" flick is a grim, hollow exercise in flat scares and bad acting.
08/30/02
The latest in a string of failed dot-com ventures.
08/30/02
The biggest fear I have is being tortured by having to watch this movie until my eyes and nose start bleeding.
08/30/02
Cinematic poo.
08/30/02
Despite the up-to-the-minute trappings, there's nothing here that's newer than rotary-dial phones.
08/29/02
My greatest fear is watching a film that's so bad that it literally sucks the life right out of you, and I think this one came pretty close.
08/29/02
Press the delete key.

Top CriticExpect to be reminded of other, better films, especially Seven, which director William Malone slavishly copies.
