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
[An] illogical, repulsive nightmare...
08/07/08
Watching Feardotcom is often like being splashed with sewage by a Super-Soaker.
02/03/08
William Malone's fear dot com desperately wants to be a cutting-edge chiller with its 'up-to-the-minute' internet theme, but turns out to be a depressing up-chuck of every great horror movie of the last 20 years.
03/07/07
It's bad in a sickening, disturbing way, with its gratuitous mixture of sex and violence.
01/06/07
Top CriticThis internet-based spook-fest is arguably the least imaginative, most pathetic horror of the decade.
12/30/06
The clunking exposition, narrative incoherence and abysmal dialogue might find favour with aficionados of bad films, but even they won't forgive the sheer nasty mindedness of this lurid mess.
01/26/06
Tenta ser uma mistura de Se7en e Ringu, mas revela-se apenas uma piada de mau gosto.
04/17/05
...dark, grungy and generally unpleasant to look at.
08/01/03
... it manages to be both prurient and very, very naive about the internet.
07/08/03
Over-directed, confused, badly-acted, poorly scripted trash.
06/28/03
Malone does have a gift for generating nightmarish images that will be hard to burn out of your brain. But the movie’s narrative hook is way too muddled to be an effectively chilling guilty pleasure.

Do you like to watch? whispers the husky temptress on the killer website. That's one offer self-respecting horror fans should politely decline.
06/10/03
Not exactly a storyline for the ages, is it? In fact, the plot seems so whisper-thin that you're barely aware of it as you watch the film.
04/20/03
This film drags on forever, presenting one contrived situation after another.
03/31/03
"Feardotcom" has the makings of an interesting meditation on the ethereal nature of the internet and the otherworldly energies it could channel, but it simply becomes a routine shocker.
02/21/03
...So caught up in its own art it rarely succeeds at being truly scary.
02/08/03
When appreciating the heuristic nature of the hackneyed Fear Dot Com, do yourself a favor and be sure to log off immediately in reference to this misguided nightmarish nonsense.
02/03/03
Sure, horror movies are supposed to be dark, but come on! Turn on a lamp sometime.
01/18/03
The director, William Malone, is like his villain: a sick person trying to justify what he's doing by making his audience voyeurs. He's like the character from Fight Club that splices hard-core porn into Disney films.
