Reviews

Good release. Not so good film.

"William Malone is an interesting director, but this film is kind of messy and clearly fails to achieve its goal. Anyway its a good disc if you're curious about Malone's work"

— Ruy I. (4/5)

Lipstick on a Pig

"Movie: Right from the start this is a pretty infuriating watch. It's irritating and convoluted, but the tone is too serious for it to be an amusing so-bad-its-good. Huge waste of Jeffrey Combs. Probably good fodder for an amusing *review* that dives into all the little things that are bad about it, but seeing it first-hand just kind of sucks. Just to pull one specific example, the titular website isn't "fear. com", it's "www.feardotcom.***". What? Extras: Pretty packed, especially if you like commentaries. The visual essay was good, although it was bringing up mosty movies that are WAY better than this one. Kudos to having the trailer, as well as some other trailers. Book: Another good reference point for other movies around the same time dealing with similar concepts. Packaging: Better than the movie deserves to be frank."

— Gideon M. (2/5)

Ahh, its a website

"Oh the pleasure this film brings me for finally being in a good release. The transfer makes it look wonderful for an early 00s horror scare fest. The effects look kinda eh, but it is apart of the charm of course!"

— Brian F. (5/5)

Great

"Great looking cover, wish I'd been in time and gotten the slip cover as it looks insane. But the inside art of the cover is still fantastic."

— Filip P. (5/5)

Early 2000’s horror

"A great nostalgia trip from remembering when this movie was released in theaters"

— Derick M. (4/5)

Great Movie and Disc

"Good special features and nice booklet - recommended"

— Sean M. (5/5)

Great Thriller

"Bad title but a great thriller that's WAY ahead of its time."

— Frank M. (4/5)

Not bad, not great

"This might be one of the most 2000’s movies I’ve ver had the pleasure of watching"

— Shane M. (5/5)

Fun 90’s Thriller

"Fun 90’s thriller, always enjoyed this one. Great story. Recommended."

— Jeffrey L. (4/5)

Feardotcom. com is a horror version of Hackers

"This is a mess of a movie that I enjoyed more this time around than my memories recall. It’s definitely a man atmosphere movie with a plot so preposterous in some ways but prothetic in others it’s bizarre. The title itself is silly, the plot is goofy, it’s an all around feast of ridiculous. And it pleased me the entire time."

— Brandon C. (5/5)
