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

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

Full Review | 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

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

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.

| Jan 26, 2006

... it manages to be both prurient and very, very naive about the internet.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 8, 2003

Do you like to watch? whispers the husky temptress on the killer website. That's one offer self-respecting horror fans should politely decline.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 10, 2003

About as cutting-edge as Pet Rock: The Movie.

Full Review | Jan 2, 2003

Build some robots, haul 'em to the theatre with you for the late show, and put on your own Mystery Science Theatre 3000 tribute to what is almost certainly going to go down as the worst -- and only -- killer website movie of this or any other year.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 2, 2002

A depraved, incoherent, instantly disposable piece of hackery.

Full Review | Sep 27, 2002

This is rote spookiness, with nary an original idea (or role, or edit, or score, or anything, really) in sight, and the whole of the proceedings beg the question 'Why?'

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 9, 2002

The movie's progression into rambling incoherence gives new meaning to the phrase 'fatal script error.'

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 9, 2002

Fear Dot Com is more frustrating than a modem that disconnects every 10 seconds.

Full Review | Sep 3, 2002

It didn't take itself seriously enough as a legit horror/thriller to bother to avoid some of the lesser conventions of the genre -- or, for that matter, to just make sense.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2002
