It’s never especially creepy or scary. It feels like a made-for-Cinemax product that somehow maneuvered its way into getting a theatrical distribution deal.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 15, 2024

FearDotCom takes itself way too seriously, ultimately adding to the film's dreadfulness.

| Nov 15, 2019

William Malone's FearDotCom is one of those hopelessly muddled horror movies where you end up feeling more disturbed by the incomprehensible plotting and lurching camerawork than anything unfolding on-screen.

| Jan 3, 2018

The story is a mess, some of the images offensive, the acting under par and the dialogue silly.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 23, 2014

The real torture in this vengeful cyber-spirit saga comes from having to sit through such ugly trash.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 23, 2014

I figured feardotcom was gonna be bad news when I saw the trailer and noticed it was promoted with the line "From the director of House on Haunted Hill".

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 8, 2014

A decent score and truly gorgeous cinematography are ruined by a terrible script and violence that defines gratuitous.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 29, 2013

Awful but strangely endearing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 29, 2013

Feardotcom is the cinematic equivalent of spam in your e-mail inbox.

Full Review | May 29, 2013

Feardotcom is full of inconsistencies and contradictions, but none are more disturbing than the fact that not a single policeman wears gloves at any of the umpteen crime scenes scattered throughout the film.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 29, 2013

While such artlessness doesn't inspire shivers, it's definitely worth a few cheap laughs.

| May 29, 2013

FearDotCom was made with just enough craft to keep it from being the instantly dated camp howler its title promises, but it's quickly apparent that there's no thought or originality under its grim, familiar surface.

| May 29, 2013

[A] shameless exercise in high-tech sadism.

| May 29, 2013

The scariest thing about Feardotcom is that the movie ever got made.

| May 29, 2013

It's simply really bad.

| Apr 29, 2009

[An] illogical, repulsive nightmare...

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Watching "Feardotcom" is often like being splashed with sewage by a Super-Soaker.

| Original Score: F | Feb 3, 2008

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.

| Mar 7, 2007

It's bad in a sickening, disturbing way, with its gratuitous mixture of sex and violence.

| Jan 6, 2007

This internet-based spook-fest is arguably the least imaginative, most pathetic horror of the decade.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 30, 2006
