Summary: This is the scariest movie I've seen in years.
Review: I thought this movie was scary. Also, this movie made me start questioning the Internet, and where some people get their pictures. Also, some people need to realize that Hollywood and the movie theaters would of not let them release this film if the film would had more killing in it like showing someone getting cut open, and being tortured. Then, the rating people would of had to change it to NC17 which means, that it would of not been release in to theaters, and parent wouldn't be happy if their kid went to see it.

Summary: Horror ... A Girl in White ... Not Again, Please ...
Review: Pop quiz: How many times have we seen the images of "a mysterious girl in white" in the year of 2002 alone? After so-so "Resident Evil" (Was that a boy? Whatever.), we are to meet this eerie girl in "Ghost Ship," "The Ring," and here again, in "Fear Dot Com," stylish but messy horror film. Sorry to say this, but with the exception of "The Ring," her presence seems a sign of loss of creative power in Hollywood. (But "The Ring" is, well, a remake of a Japanese horror shocker "Ringu"... not again.) "Fear Dot Com" is similar to the premise of this scary Noami Watts film, but the way they carry out the concept is different. In short, "visit an internet site FEARDOTCOM. (or something like that), and you'll be dead in 48 hours. Detective Stephen Dorff investigates curious cases of deaths of people who supposedly watched something on the site, and Dorff himself, to crack the case, sees the site against his better judgement and his love Natascha McElhorn ("Ronin"). OK. The film gives sometimes very gripping, surreal images of the girl I said before, a deserted factory, and so on shot in highly stylish fashion. However, Willaim Malone, the director of the remake of "House of the Haunted Hill," fails to imbue any substance into the film. This is partly because of the meddled script, which attempts to explain the origin (or cause) of horror, which should be left unsaid. When Stephen Rae appears as a very suspcious character; and when the film shows him reciting uninspired lines seducing a too innocent girl, then you know this is just another B-thriller, completely throwing whatever unique or original into the gutter.
It is clear that director is fan of the horror genre, for we see the faces like Stephen Dorff (who was in vampire flick "Blade"); Udo Kier (beside in "Blade," "Shadow of Vampire" and "Andy Warhol's Dracula"); and Rae himself in one Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise hit movie (you know what). But the film's confusing structure is nothing we can praise, betraying that the film is too quickly and carelessly made.

Summary: NONSENSE and TOO EASY SOLUTIONS
Review: Up to now, I have bought more than 200 movies from Amazon & I have not sent any comments to none of the films. This does not mean that they were all too good or does not worth writing a comment. Why I choosed to comment for this one is so simple. This movie is SCRAP. I have never ever seen such a bad movie. Why am I claiming this? Because this film is supposed to be a mystery and horror movie. If you are facing with mystery, there should be some "why", "how", "who", "when" questions. In this movie, there exists none!!! Especially, the female character is "so clever" and our male character the dedective is "so dumb". She finds answers to all questions all of a sudden without even spending a few seconds on the issue. Reaching the necessary solutions is not a problem at all for her. This is riddiculous and funny. I hated the way she solved the problems. The movie has no depth. Ok, the sound & graphics are good (similar to 7/Seven !!!), but the secreenplay is again too bad, too easy. Take all the good care. PS :Do not get it wrong, I am not against "clever ladies".

Summary: Dull.dotcom
Review: I wish there really was a website such as the one depicted in this movie. Why? Because if it were available at the time I viewed this movie, I would have rather logged in and suffered my doom rather than have to sit through this film again. I am a big fan of horror films, even bad horror films. The only thing that pleased me about this film was when it finally ended and I didn't have to suffer through it anymore.

Summary: "Fear Dot Com" is an Error
Review: What was this movie about? "Fear Dot Com" didn't make any sense to me except that it was lame. People log on to the site and then they die 48 hours later of their biggest fear. Originality (no). A detective (Stephen Dorff) and a health investigator (Natascha McElhone) are zombies walking into the same trap as all of the other victims. If stupidity were a crime, these two would be charged with ten counts. Like duh, I'm going to log on to the site and see if I go next! Yes! No! By the way, there's a strange subplot involving a serial killer which is kind of disturbing. If you want to see something scary, rent "Bride of Chucky" or "Jason X."

Summary: Blarg!
Review: More laughs than "Troop Beverly Hills!"
More chills than "Fair Game!"
Better Special Effects that "Crocodile Dundee!" This movie is as bad as any bad review tells you it is. I went into this with the best intentions. I really had hopes for it having read a positive review from Roger Ebert. It is an butt-numbing film. The plot is BORING. The acting is really pathetic. It's almost as if it would have been a good horror film but someone tried to make a more artsy film instead, and you end up with no horror, no thrills, no chills, and sadly - not even any drama. ...

Summary: A different movie, not half bad.
Review: I thought this movie was accually ok. And I don't know why people are saying it's really that bad. And if some of these people I'm talking about are out there, atleast get your spelling and grammer straight. This movie didn't go past my expectations, but it did well.
This movie was a a preety good movie, and it had alot of twists and turns. And if your over 10 years of age, it's not hard to follow. When some people are saying, "It's confusing, and I don't get it." This movie wasn't hard to follow. It was rather easy.
Fear dot com is about a detective (Stephen Dorff) and a public health inspector (Natascha McElhone) investigating on the deadly influence of the titular Web site, which channels the innermost fears of its visitors until they die of fright 48 hours later. They must go into the web-site ti figure out what's going on with the killing's, which all point to the web-site.
This movie had many twists and turns, which was real good. I do have some suggestions though. For example, when Nastascha woke up one morning, she had all make-up on. So I thought they could have worked on the make-up. And it could have been more scary I would say. But I don't think it was scarier than "House on Haunted Hill." This movie was very thrilling.
I would recommend this to someone. Not the best movie, but a real different, ok movie. It was worth 3 stars, so I gave it 3 stars. You'll be suprised! Oh.. And never never..ever.. go on feardotcom.com...wanna play?
(joke for people who saw.) This movie is an ok movie, you should go see it!

Summary: Well heck, I liked it...
Review: Ok. I won't go over the movie with a comb. I just finished watching it, and wondering what others thought of it, I came here. Boy was I surprised. Just as House on Haunted Hill (the remade one) was a forceful exploration into horror, so was this. Yes you dont get the full picture at the beginning. That is because ... yes folks ... this is a "mystery". You are not suppose to know what is going on along with the characters until you (and the characters) received the next set of clues. And yes, you are not going to see a Jason like creature bringing you buckets of blood. Sorry to say folks but just because its a horror movie does NOT mean that you will see body parts flying left and right. To me this movie was a bit like 7/Seven, but with a bit more spooky feeling brought about by the ghosts that challenges people who log in on the site. I quite enjoyed this romp into madness and horror. So all in all, I give it a four star review.

Summary: Absolutely terrible
Review: Feardotcom is without doubt the worst horror movie I have ever seen. Bad acting, bad direction and an astoundingly awful script render this film unwatchable. The "plot" is some generic claptrap about a spooky, creepy, evil website that kills the people who view it. Yes, it is as bad as it sounds. Stephen Rea is completely wasted in this clunker, his role is so bad I find it really hard to believe that he even accepted it. In closing, avoid Feardotcom at all costs. I was kicking myself for even renting it.

Summary: Scariest movie of 2002!
Review: This is so much better than The Ring, which I thought was hilarious, but this isn't scarier than The Exorcist. This is a must see. Skip The Ring, and see this instead, it is so much better and SCARIER!
