Summary: Lord have mercy, stay away from this mess!
Review: This film must take place in an alternate universe where black outs occur. The only lights visible in the movie are equiped with 10 watt bulbs...understandable since a city the size of fake-opolis would require too many generators to actually power decent lighting. If this movie had half the plot and acting of a movie like "Seven" where it ran mostly in the dark you might be able to dismiss the lighting issues in this movie(where jail cells are lit with one flourescent tube). Unfortunately the acting and story line seem to start off in mediocrity and plunge from there. Finally, i'd like to take the star i gave this movie back...it does not deserve it.

Summary: ...Dot-Com!!
Review: Unless you have some brain disorder in which you love watching people getting hacked up and sliced open this movie is not for you. This is by far the most pointless and stupid movie I have ever seen. The plot is that some crazy guy tortured a woman with knives and etc. for 2 days and then killed her. If you go to his death website and don't help the woman get revenge on her murderer, you die of your worst fear in 48 hours (because sharp objects were her worst fear because she had hemophilia and she was tortured for 2 days). Another thing, how can anyone be scared of the internet?!?!?!? Unless you go to websites of people getting killed you have nothing to be scared of. And how is it entertainment to see people getting tortured and cut up by a psychopathic maniac/lunatic?!?!?!? This movie is poorly filmed, too. It steals ideas from other movies such as the Ring and makes them worse. I would rather watch the Cell again...overthis movie...In fact this was so bad and pathetic that I can't even call it a movie. It is horrible...

Summary: This Movie Must Have Ended a Lot of Careers
Review: Who at Warner approved this turkey? This has got to be some kind of a joke! It seems this movie tries to be similar to The Ring, except that instead of a videotape that kills you, it's a website. Now this isn't just any website because this website's interface, chat feature, graphic menus, and everything else about it are an absolute insult to any computer user's intelligence. How in the world did they expect us to take that website seriously? More so than that is the fact that the movie is so dark, you have a hard time seeing what is happening. Why would a police station be so dark that you can barely see in front of you? Why would everyone's apartment also be that dark? During the scene where Natascha McElhone is swimming, there are periods of just complete darkness, and you are left scratching your head as to what is happening. As for the acting, I have to commend Stephen Dorff for doing the absolute best he could do with this material. As for the others, there is not one decent performance in this movie. Why does Natascha McElhone speak with an American accent at times, and a British one at other times? I really liked her in the remake of Solaris, but in this movie her acting is dreadful. It's almost as if she knew how bad this was going to be, so she didn't care. I would like to say there is at least one reason to see this film, but there isn't one. This movie makes Mannequin 2 look like Oscar material.

Summary: Not the Least Bit Entertaining
Review: Unless you're a psycho who loves to see people getting murdered, killed, cut up with sharp objects, or tortured this movie (isn't enjoyable). The plot is terrible; some dead woman with hemophelia wants revenge on her killer. If you go to the website and don't help her get revenge you die of your worst fear. Also, if you think it's entertainment to see people getting tortured, you have a (messed )up mind, you need counseling...., This movie isn't scary at all. It's almost as bad as The Cell. In fact it doesn't even deserve 1 star, it deserves nothing.

Summary: I threw this DVD away!
Review: I generally like horror and thriller films. And many of the films I like have graphic violence. This film, without being terribly graphic, still manages to elevate violence to the level of loving pornography. It practically worships it. For all the hero and heroine are doing their best to put an end to the madman's actions, we still see too many hints of what he's about, and hear too much from him on the pleasure of it. It was horrifying, all right, but not in the least scary or creepy. This idea could have been so good! It had a whole lot of potential...Save your money...

Summary: Well it was a good idea at the time
Review: I had the privilege to sit and waste an hour and 30 minutes of my life watching this movie, so I will save you the trouble of suffering the same fate. The premise of the movie as you probably already know is that when someone logs on to the website feardot.com, they die after 48 hours. It's up to a detective (played by Stephen Dorff who must have been desperate for a role or something), and a lady from the Department of Health, to find out just what the heck is going on. Also there is a net killer (who runs a website where he kills his victims online for those that will watch). The plot is supposed to be about vengeance (one of the killers first victims haunts the website, that being an educated guess, but in the process kills others that are unlucky enough to log on. go figure). The movie begins kinda sputtering along, and as if believing it was the little engine that could just ran out of steam during the middle. So with the acting being subpar, the pace of the movie being slower than an old lady in a check out line, and the plot being filled with more holes than a sponge, this movie would be a big waste of your time, unless you're into that kinda thing.

Summary: Worst movie I have ever seen!!
Review: Actually, its probably the worst movie ever made. Do not waste your time!!I wish I could give it O stars!!
Rating: 
Summary: good concept
Review: The basic idea behind this intrigued me which is why I was generous enough to give it 2 stars. Hadly a plot at all and one of the worst endings I've seen in a movie in a long time. Good effects, but used in a very cheesy manner. The acting is not very good, the plot doesn't go very far...just read these other reviews. Read AMAZON's review at the front. That'll tell you what you need to know.

Summary: Paybacks are a byte
Review: When a detective finds that the victims are tied to one another because they visited fear.com he begins investigating the web site. The only problem is now that he saw the site online he only has 48 hours to solve the mystery before his death. It turns out a doctor he knows from another case is involved. This is not a fast paced movie and it has some graphic scenes of torture, but anyone that likes any horror or police genre films should find it interesting.

Summary: scary..i think not
Review: this movie had the looks, the idea and all the makings of a great horror movie. too bad it scared itself and all good things were killed off somewhere. for the record, this movie is weird and i like that in a movie but it has to all make sense somewhere down the line.
this movie is choppy and sketchy. the plot is this: people log on to a website and die 48 hours later. the idea is supposed to be they die of what they are most scared of but that idea is never clearly stated. the movie kind of drifts in and out of coherence. this movie gives you nothing. decent concept and decent idea but it was not done right and thus falls flat. the director of photography gets credit for some good shots but other than that i was more scared that i actually rented this than anything...
