FeardotCom Reviews
Really difficult to make it through but that's not because it's scary. Diaper commercials generate more suspense. I didn't read the synopsis but I have to assume it was far more interesting than the actual movie.
I had fond memories of this movie from my teen years. But I think it was more being a hipster when everyone was talking about The Ring. Watched it again recently and no, it's really not good.
Middle of the road horror film, but the mere fact that I cannot remember the ending means it was not written very well.
Confusing horror movie that didn't really satisfy.
This was your 1st attempt at an online scary movie. It's a ok movie. More like a suspense movie then a horror film. A website that kills you if you visit it.
It's going to be a mess if you chop disorderly with imprecision onto what's been given or done. This aimlessly creates an incoherent style dampening the expected/envisioned results the formula structured. There's a beneficial style the film tries to tackle but failed in a cheesy matter when nonsensically turned out messy by squandering the prepared ingredients but realized too late amid the climax delivering a satisfying payoff plus decent ambiguity. If the title and marketed plot draws you in promising a potential horrific thriller, best to learn now is to be very observant of the dated briefly peeked style behind an obviously-diverted title. If tempted, you'll find a better coded site than the glitchy, buffering void. (C-)
William Malone can produce a nightmare-fueled monster. That monster is FearDotCom. The story doesn't make much sense nor does much else. However what can be said is that the style is persistent, strong and one of the main characters of the film. Try watching it just for the atmosphere and you may not be completely disappointed.
Massively underrated movie with an original, albeit heavily Late 90s/Early 2000s plot. It reminds me a lot of Japanese Horror with an indiscriminately vengeful ghost and a psychotic killer: it was clever, refreshing, and interesting. Issues with the writing come from Josephine Coyle and Moshe Diamant, people who seem not very familiar with writing and supernatural horror. This movie definitely needed more exploration into the nature of the ghost's revenge BUT it is good fun.
FearDotCom is slow all through the film with a loosely woven plot line that ends with both sides of good and evil losing. It attempts to mimic The Ring and fails miserably at it.
First off, FearDotCom is just full of blown-out style. And whilst the films style surpasses most others, it lacks in everything else. When I say lacks... I mean it lacks BAD.
While the story was all over the place, I couldn't hate this movie. The premise was something I never seen before. I liked the gore, visual style, and the ok acting. I see why it's hated, but I liked it anyway
Zero stars, 1 billion percent I watched it 4 times in one day, then watched twice a few days later Still couldn't fully understand what the hell was going on I have this movie on VHS. I got it on DVD to see if a better quality would do it justice. Nah. Boring, trash, horrible.
Far too interested in making scares than a coherent plot... and the scares don't work anyway.
A confusing mess of a movie avoided this pile of garbage but this is a good sleeping pill also the actual website is feardotcom.com stupid.
It sucked! Because the website that kills people is a most stupidest idea for a 2002 movie! And it's the worst movie of 2002! And it has a lot of jumpscares! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
In the gritty New York streets, four bodies have turned up in mysterious circumstances. Self-assertive detective, Mike Reilly, and department of health researcher, Terry Huston, team up to uncover the bizarre causes of the deaths which have left New York police baffled. Whilst digging deep in the victims past, it is revealed all have died within 48 hours after viewing a site called FearDotCom. With a sadistic serial killer also on the loose, the detectives are in a race against time to discover who or what is killing the people of New York City. When I heard William Malone had directed FearDotCom I was expecting a gripping psychological scare, especially after the success of his remake of House On Haunted Hill. However, I ended up with gasps of boredom and annoyance as this film had such potential. Even after the success of Blair Witch Project, I can appreciate found footage films in the early noughties were relatively new, but it felt like this was an inconsistent version of The Ring, which was out the same year.
