"A Blinding Assault on the Senses and the Spirit"
What You Need To Know:
FEARDOTCOM is a poorly made "mad slasher", ghost movie that assaults the eyes and the spirit. Stephen Dourff stars as a detective working on strange cases of people bleeding through their orifices and dying, as well as committing suicide or having bizarre accidents. He thinks it’s connected to the case of a mad serial killer, a doctor who mutilated women and showed their deaths on the Internet, but was never caught. Eventually, it turns out that the ghost of one of the doctor’s poor victims is using the doctor’s website design to force Internet users to find the doctor so the ghost can kill him. With help from a beautiful health inspector, the cop follows the ghost’s clues, but looking at the website endangers their lives too.
It’s not always clear what’s going on in FEARDOTCOM. In fact, part of the plot I have just described is just a supposition of what happens in the movie. It’s bad enough that such ultra-violent horror movies are marketed to the mass audience. What is worse in this particular example is the movie’s occult worldview where a ghost of someone who’s died can kill the living and take revenge

FEARDOTCOM also contains lots of strong foul language and many scenes with blinding lights or blinding white images that flash into viewer’s eyes. Thus, it’s physically painful as well as morally, emotionally, spiritually, and theologically painful to watch FEARDOTCOM.
