Blu-ray Review – Feardotcom

2002's "FeardotCom" is one of many pictures seeking to use the mysteries of technology to fuel a tale of horror. In this case, the vessel is the internet and its lawless ways, and writer Josephine Coyle endeavors to turn the world wide web into a curse movie, taking inspiration from Japanese genre offerings and American serial killer features. Director William Mallone (who did okay with his 1999 remake of "House on Haunted Hill") has a wacky premise to sell, and he approaches the material with a generic severity he can't manage for the run time. "FeardotCom" is derivative, repetitive, and dull, playing into fright film trends of the day without a real effort to make something insane with a ludicrous plot. Instead, the movie falls apart almost immediately. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
