Summary: 3Stars!
Review: This isn't nearly as bad as people were saying that it was. It has a good plot, good acting, fairly good atmosphere, and awesome visuals. Yes it rips off some movies,(ala The Ring [far superior} and Se7en [worst than this]) but this movie is watchable. Would I see it again, yeah I would. Don't listen to the 1 star reviewers, they don't know what they are talking about, just see this if you want, but I would rent it before I bought it.

Summary: Not bad for a modern attempt at horror.....
Review: Fear dot com is a decent attempt at horror in my humble opinion. Allthough it has many weak points it also has many strong points that more than make up for the slack. The plot is original (although however, there are many similarities to "the ring"...), the effects are superb and the acting is well above average. In an age filled with horror movies that contain run of the mill Teen hearthrobs and paperthin plotlines, Fear dot com is received by me with open arms. I recommend any true horror fan to at least check it out and give it a fair shot. It may not be the greatest horror film in the past few years, but at least it doesnt have the latest WNAB teen stars running from a second rate slasher...

Summary: Fear for the dying film industry. com
Review: I will not waste my time typing a full review on this absolute trash. This is not a horror/thriller film it has brought about its own genre, that being TRASH. If I could give it zero stars I would.
I could not bear to read the girl Kelly's entire review. When I saw the reference to The Shining and Alfred Hitchcock I began feeling sick for our entire human existence. She must have be one of the films actors. And I use that term very loosely. Bottom Line: Just leave it alone it is not worth the pain of trying to get through. I wish I had the money these studios have to just throw away on trash like this. This film today exemplifies the lack of talented writers in Hollywood.

Summary: www.this-movie-sucks.com
Review: A detective joins a health worker in trying to figure out why various people are dying after logging on to the same Internet site called feardotcom.com.
So there you have it, nice and simple and a little mysterious. But now I'm gonna blow some things open that you may not want to read if you plan on seeing this film, however, I advise you skip the film and just read ahead. Save yourself the money. So, basically, the curse has come about from the killer's first web victim, whose soul exists inside the website and damns anyone for visiting by slowly driving them mad with hallucinatory images of their own worst fears until they have a stroke and drop dead 48 hours later. One of the major things that confused me about this was that I never knew how involved the serial killer (called "The Doctor") was with this whole curse thing. I didn't know if he knew about it or planned it I actually didn't know until the very end, which didn't do much for my viewing experience on a whole.
It's a shame that fear dot com is so jumbled because director William Malone gives the film an incredible visual style. Malone (who also directed the much better update of House on Haunted Hill) uses his talents to create atmosphere where the script provides none. This is particularly evident in the grand finale, shot in grainy sepia tones reminiscent of old horror movies. Although the look is ancient, the special effects are quite modern and creepy. The overall effect is chilling. Too bad the story couldn't support the visuals, because with some plot development this could have been a modern horror classic.

Summary: Fear dot com...
Review: I was so dissapointed after watching this big mess and I was looking forward to seeing this because I loved Willam Malone's last film,House On Haunted Hill.I thought Fear dot com would be gorier and freaker then HOHH,but boy,was I really dissapointed.Halfway through the film,I keep wondering when are they gonna diliver the blood and gory and it never came.Don't enter Fear dot com,you'll regret it.Watch House On Haunted Hill instead.

Summary: Ok plot wasted in bad horror film
Review: A friend of mine recamended this film to me after seeing "The Ring".After seeing "The Ring" I thought maybe "Feardotcom" would be good.Boy was I wrong.
Fear Dot Com had a very simple plot,that could of made a scary flick,but the writer put in so many twists and turns it got too hard to follow what was going on.Also,it seemed like this film wasn't even trying to scare you.There were no cheap little thrill through out the movie.Lets not get into the acting.I don't know what was going on with Stephen Doriff(who I normally like),but he just seemed like he was not even there.The movie was just plain awful and I would not recamend it to ANYONE.

Summary: Unbelievably bad
Review: Muddled, horribly acted (especially by the wooden Natascha McElhone) and a plot line that's full of holes...that's "Fear dot com", which has one of the biggest howlers I've EVER seen in a movie--a female character who is a hemophiliac. Sorry, scriptwriters: women are carriers of the gene which causes hemophilia, but are NEVER hemophiliacs.

Summary: A Big Fat Mess
Review: This is about one of the most stupid "horror" films ever made ... a movie that sacrificies plot and scares for questionable visual style. I felt like I was watching a bad rip-off of "Seven." Just because the director makes the scenes dark and moody doesn't mean that they will produce any response from the viewer. There has to be something good in the story to do that. Take my advice. See some of the classics from the 70's and skip this modern techo horror "nightmare."

Summary: 3.5 Stars
Review: This film is not as bad as people are saying it is. Yes it rips off other better movies, but it is still decent, and has alot of creepy visuals. It isn't boring unless you're expecting the next exorcist or something, but I really enjoyed this film. It is so much better than Scream and I Know what You did Last Summer. This is one I'd watch again, and heck I may just buy it. Watch it alone in dark!

Summary: A Must Miss
Review: FEAR DOT COM tries so hard that it is embarassing. The script to this quasi-thriller is pedestrian at best, predictable, and just plain awful at worst. There is little point to the story and even that little idea - that connecting a lot of computers together can result in communal energy that creates sick, deadly consequences - is trampled to death (pardon the pun). It never ceases to amaze me how actors of the caliber of Stephen Rea can log on to duds like this. The only reason to rent this film is to see how low some backers will stoop in the name of film making. This is a "must miss".
