I’ve never seen such a good looking piece of shit like this in quite some time. The cinematic equivalent of downloading numb.exe off of limewire.

I liked this movie plot better the first time, when it was called "The Ring/Ringu" and didn't suck.

Dogshit dot net

Imagine if Silence of the Lambs and The Ring got together and had a baby, only it turned out those two were siblings, and the baby ended up being a mutant retard. The blame lies almost entirely on the writing team (it has a shitty premise, shitty plot, and shitty dialogue) but the rest of the crew is still at fault for not putting a stop to this terrible idea.

Started off kind of promising, but not that good towards the end. Actually a total rip off from the ring.

Absolutely terrible.

Scary less for the narrative and more for the fact that people actually made this, it's not so much a movie as loud, unpleasant, expertly calculated attack against happiness. It would put me to sleep if it didn't give me a huge migraine. Truly, truly awful.

All I can remember of this stinker is saying: "poor Jeffrey Combs" before falling asleep.

What the hell did I just watch? I can't even describe how much of a failure this movie is.

Just terrible

simply did not engage me

I liked the idea of the film, but the theme of the website was a distraction from the premise of the movie.

In fact so extremely boring I fell asleep and never wanted to watch the ending.

A strange case of an appalling, derivative script given life and (almost) elevated to a recommendation from Malone's handling of the material, treating a standard aughty torture porn slasher in ways that wring every drop of tension from the premise. It's a shame that Malone's directorial skills don't extend to his actors - especially baffling for Rea, who can never quite decide if he's going the Lector route or the Kreuger route and fails to satisfy on either count. An interesting failure.

You can see that they tried hard at parts to make scary imagery and try to work on the mood in some scenes: it's more efforts than many of the more recent crap horror movies. But otherwise, there might be only one person who had acting knowledge in the lot, and the "enemy/ghost" makes no sense. Paper thin plot as well, weak climax.

I hate this film so much. It is terrible. Avoid at all cost!

I remember only that it was awful, and the phrase "hobo cheese" came up because of it (why I don't know).

This is why I never watch horror movies.

An overly derivative, poorly acted piece of trash. For shame, Stephen Dorff, you're better than this (I think).

A suprisingly scary film about a website that can kill you. Not for the faint of heart.

Ha ha feardotcom.com!

Not great flick, but not nearly as bad as all the 1 star reviews on this and other sites. There are way way more shitty movies out there, at least the production values were decent here.

if you have nothing to do on a saturday afternoon spend it staying away from this movie

I am really surprised the film restrained itself by playing only one Rammstein song. My favourite scene from the film, and the only one I remembered 20 years later, was when the mother says the girl is a hemophiliac and a moment later explains she liked playing in the steel mill.

Death by browsing the web... strange.

A workable premise gets kinda molested.

Worst film I've ever been unfortunate to lay my eyes on

Yeah, this viewing was a total product of idle time..which soon turned into rage towards this movie.

It tries, oh how it tries. But you can't call lifting ideas cutting edge.

this should be called logging off...

Generic horror blah.

I just realized that I have indeed watched this movie. All I can remember is a terrible headache.

scary in parts, stupid in many parts!

I thought I'd vomit but I just pooped.

Criticker thinks I would give this a 0. I like Stephen Dorff in other stuff, but this was just so, so bad.

scary ***

No redeeming features whatsoever. Not even in the "So bad it's hilarious" category. PS-I like the part where it completely ripped off RINGU.

more like snooze dot com -- plus, it's a ripoff

So stupid

Been awhile, but I didn't mind it

Didn't see the whole thing... but that was ok with me.

I only watched this movie so I could try to make out with some dumb girl when I was 17, and even she hated it.

I probably remembered this movie's existence solely because the movie's official website was apparently called feardotcom.com. Now I'm an adult, and I watched it for some reason, and now I finally see that the website in this movie is ALSO called feardotcom.com. They should have been more accurate and called the movie feardotcom.com, and the official website feardotcomdotcom.com.

bad movie

"...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."

House of Haunted Hill director came up with another horror movie... and that was not good idea. FearDotCom is lame and stupid. Moviemakers have met some brain-eating zombies, i guess. One of the worst movies released in 2002.

An incomprehensible cinematic crime

Plain ol' terrible. The only redeeming thing about this film is its moody high contrast lighting, and that certainly won't save this one.

ick.

Ok, it's pretty bad, but I actually liked a lot of the sets and the twistedness of some of it. Reminded me of a few horror games I've played, like The Evil Within.

this was alot like the ring...it sucked dick.

A cheap copy of Ringu / The Ring. It has a dark atmosphere, but the story has no logic.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. This is the worst movie I paid to see in a theatre. In New York City. I paid 10 dollars to see this movie. It was the worst film I have ever seen. May in fact be proof that God does not exist.
