Summary: Horrible
Review: One Word "Horrible". This is definitely without a doubt the worst movie I can remember EVER sitting through and I have seen a lot of bad ones. I felt I should warn anyone who has not seen it and is reading the reviews.... PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME NOR MONEY on this Movie! I give one star, but really does not even warrant that!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just not good...
Review: Now, when writing this review, I thought "Why not write a fair and balanced review about Fear Dot Com's good points and bad points?". So, I sat in front of my computer (cross-eyed) for twenty minutes trying to think of some of the parts of this movie that I enjoyed. Then it hit me! It was the credits! Although many would accuse Fear Dot Com, of stealing the standard format from hollywood classics like "The Godfather" and James Cameron's epic "Titanic", Fear Dot Com presents it's end credits masterfully. The pacing is perfect, the names don't go by so fast that I can't read all the names, and it's not too slow so I don't bored once I've finished what's on the screen.

So, if you don't mind sitting through this mind numbing knock-off of a movie, then you'll definitely see some brilliantly made credits. The kind of credits that seem to get lost in the blinding lights of hollywood consumerism. I applaud you Fear Dot Com, well done.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: eh ripping off horror cult-ure can be fun!
Review: fear dot com in my eyes had alot of potential....if they hadnt ripped the ring soo much it coulda been much much better....also i noticed that it also reminded me alot of the Silent Hill series...people who have played the game would know what i mean...but overall it wasnt a horrible movie ... ripoffs aside its the type of movie u can watch with your friends with the lights off an u can make jokes about it an scare the girls (hehehe) i thought it was a fun horror film

Summary: Comparing this to The Ring is an insult to The Ring
Review: About the only thing this movie has going for it is the visuals. So if you're a fan of scary imagery, then this one's worth a look. But if you're expecting a plot, too, buy The Ring instead.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Doesn't live up to its potential, but has a few good parts
Review: A premise of a website that can absorb psychic energy and project it back out of your computer is ripe with potential but falls short in it's execution. Using a similar plotline to The Ring but using a website instead of a video tape, Fear-Dot-Com does not have the suspense or the mystery that The Ring had.

The most notable fault is the editing, jerking from one scene to the next without proper flow, and the speed-shot flashes are too fast and too disjointed to have any impact on the viewer. There is too much repetition in initial visits to the website, doing nothing more than adding painful minutes to this movie as padding. The torturer-doctor is more cheesy than creepy, some of the acting is poor, and it definitely takes too long to get going.

However, the ending has a surprise for you, and quite a lovely, brutal, karma-like "what goes around come around" visual that will make up for some of your lost time in the beginning. Enjoy!

Summary: Rip off
Review: Fear.com is a rip off of The Ring, no more and no less. Doom comes by going to the Fear.com website instead of watching a video but the basic plot is the same. Instead of being a reporter the heroine works for the health department. Instead of a video technician her love interest is a cop. In this, a serial killer essentially creates snuff films while internet viewers watch. Now anyone who goes to the site is doomed to die in 48 hours. Why? For exactly the same reason that was given in The Ring. The heroine in Fear.com goes on a trip, visits the ghostly victim's home and finds the body in water, just like in The Ring. The heroine gets a nose bleed just like Rachel does in The Ring. The endings are also essentialy the same.

The big difference is that Ring was scary and had atmosphere. Fear.com is just gross and sloppy. It's like comparing cheese flavored cracker spread to a hunk of Cheddar. Save your cash. This flick is just plain bad.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: online XXX rated material
Review: The triple X is a warning for material that can bore you to death. I watched the first 55 minutes of this movie, and then stoped watching it. It wasn't worth watching it to the end. That is how boreing it is.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Hannibal Lecter versus Samara Morgan.
Review: Ok, it's a rehash. The script is just a bad version of "The Ring meets Silence of the Lambs", with some "Nightmare on Elm Street" sceneries. It's a mess and a shame. Only gave 2 stars cause the visuals are nice.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A beautifully crafted mess
Review: N.Y. Cop Dorff teams with Health Inspector McElhone to investigate a website that kills people with their greatest fear, forty-eight hours after they log on. This is losely related to a snuff cam villian (Rea) who tortures and kills young girls. Director Malone follows an exact pattern of Italian horror filmmaker Dario Argento; dark, well crafted, highly stylised and visually stunning but the story is completely incoherent and the voilence grotesque and unappealing. Extra points for Christian Sebalt's photography and Nicholas Pikes music score.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Feardotwhat?
Review: The movie was a spin-off of or should I say, a "The Ring" competitor. Most of the movie was cast in pitch dark so mainly all you could see was light and a little movement. Acting was mediocre to sufficient. The plot went like this: (SPOILERS)

A detective seeks to find the one case that was eluding him, he finds that murders are popping up about the place again. People die in weird ways and he meets up with this microbiologist chick who was called onto the scene of a death because they suspect a virus. Not so much so. Plot progresses and the movie goes on with showing how several people die. Big deal. Scare you a little by flashing sequences of the actual FearDotCom site and the innocent looking little girl with platinum hair. They give you a ball to play with in your mind and here we fast forward to the ending. Detective gets sick, both of them stupidly go to the site even though they know it is that which causes people to die morbid deaths. Oh and after accessing the site, you only get 48 hours to the second to live. Clues are given out by death victims one by one. Apparently they die of their own fears. Okay, detective guy gets sick, microbiologist female falls in love with guy, and tries to help him out. She finds the body of the girl in the website and story ends there. Not. Same cue as in The Ring. She has to scream "I found you! Now what the Hell do you want from me?" I had to laugh. Next. She finds lipstick case on body with paper and words with the location of murders on hot chicks taking place. Turns out this doctor guy is slicing up chicks for fun because he has no "feelings" Someone needs a Care Bear. They find doctor. Slice doctor to pieces by showing HIM the website. Detective guy gets shot by doctor before doctor gets obliterated, he dies. Microbiologist cries. Darkness again!

95% darkness, 5% wondering "Wtf is going on?"
