I used to be so excited when FeardotCom bowed in theaters. The concept of an internet site that results in sudden demise is a very novel idea. Particularly in 2002 when the Web was nonetheless kind of in its infancy. I used to be much less enthusiastic in regards to the thought after taking within the movie. It’s not a house run by any means. Nonetheless, I feel there’s some advantage when you look intently. Or if you end up streaming intently.
The idea is an intriguing one on paper. And the image positively has a singular appear and feel. I simply want the completed product had come collectively just a little (loads) in another way.
Because it seems, I’m one of many few who sees any advantage in any respect in FeardotCom. The movie is so universally despised that it graces the Rotten Tomatoes worst horror movies of all time checklist. Yikes. Really, it even cracked the highest 10, coming in tenth within the general rating.
The essential consensus on the positioning reads, “As irritating as a 404 error, FeardotCom is a trendy, incoherent, and sometimes nasty mess with few scares.”
FeardotCom director William Malone has loads of expertise. I dig what he did with Home on Haunted Hill. He’s a gifted filmmaker who bought chewed up and spit out by the studio system. I don’t assume all the issues with FeardotCom are essentially his fault. Making an attempt to execute a inventive imaginative and prescient with studio interface isn’t fairly. If you wish to consider the movie for your self, you definitely can. FeardotCom is obtainable to stream on Tubi without cost (with advertisements) as of the publication of this publish.
The setup for this Rotten Tomatoes-certified rotten (not an actual factor) horror image goes as follows:
When 4 our bodies are found among the many industrial decay and concrete grime of New York Metropolis, brash younger detective Mike Reilly (Stephen Dorff) groups with formidable Division of Well being researcher Terry Huston (Natascha McElhone) to uncover the trigger behind their violent and inexplicable deaths. The solely frequent issue shared by the victims? Every died precisely 48 hours after logging on to feardot.com.
