  Fear Dot Com has often been dismissed as one of the worst horror films to be seen. Well I can say with that it's a fact that there are far worst films the Horror genre has produced over the years. Obviously the main reason that this film is dismissed so easily is that it shares similar plot lines to The Ring (which came out the same year, the American remake that is). Getting back to this film, I thought it was enjoyable enough to kill time and it was entertaining. However like everyone else, I thought the plot and acting was pretty thin. But as a popcorn horror film, this film works. Obviously not the best film, but with putting into focus all the other horror films that have come out in recent times, Fear Dot Com doesn't deserve all the flack it has received. The ideas presented in the film have been used before, but still the concept seems interesting. I personally think that the idea of dying in seven days has many angles to a good story. With The Ring it was a video cassette with Fear Dot Com, it's a website. Both films are good and very entertaining in my book. I wouldn't call Fear Dot Com great, but I would call it a pleasant time waster, which is what it is. This film is way better than a lot of trash in horror nowadays, most notably My Soul To Take. Fear Dot Com is the type of that you have to shut your brain off to enjoy. Mindless entertainment.

  A good idea....Aweful result. It stinks...And guys in the truck....guess what...It doesn't get scarier just because it's darker. Was the lightning crew on vacation or what? Ridiculous...Like in the scene when what's-his-name looks at the clock and says "it's… More

Ridiculous...Like in the scene when what's-his-name looks at the clock and says "it's noon"...I guessed midnight....lights out for sure....overall....didn't make the grade

  A detective and Dept of Health officer investigate four murders after they realise the victims all used the same web site before they died.

  disappointing yet again when a good concept goes terrible awry.

  Better than I remember this film being, although the first half seemed more promising, than the second. There were a few boring bits and a lot of the film was filmed very dark, so in parts it was difficult to follow, however I do like Steven Dorff and I'm surprised that… More
  Better than I remember this film being, although the first half seemed more promising, than the second. There were a few boring bits and a lot of the film was filmed very dark, so in parts it was difficult to follow, however I do like Steven Dorff and I'm surprised that he's not been in some better films. VERDICT: Worth a watch if it's on tv, do not rush out and rent or buy

  A very scary\twisted horror flick about a killer website with very good scares\scenes.

• Daniel D

  
  This is truly the worst movie ever made

  There might be some shocking imagery and startling flashbacks here and there, but feardotcom is a dry, lifeless horror bore that gets sucked up its own ass about thirty minutes in. Almost everything here is deja vu, and the result is an endless flow of yawn-inducing dialogue, peppered with some intermittently affecting scares. McElhone clearly does her best not to worsen the whole deal, but it's to no avail. Her performance, like the rest of the film, is just plain... blah.

  Promising plot but execution just fell flat. There was no air of mystery or suspense. The two leads didn't have chemistry either and worse, character development was poor. This is one of those horror flicks that you can watch before going to bed because it's so boring… More
  Promising plot but execution just fell flat. There was no air of mystery or suspense. The two leads didn't have chemistry either and worse, character development was poor. This is one of those horror flicks that you can watch before going to bed because it's so boring you'd be so sleepy after watching it, that is, if you even reach the end of it.

  Strange. But I would still watch it again.
