Is it really that bad?

I love it.
- I enjoyed the story.
- I liked most of the performances.
- I like William Malone's style a lot. I liked his
House on Haunted Hill
remake a lot, too. He's as poetic and surrealistic as he is "logical". I like that. - The cinematography, production design and editing in this film are all Oscar-worthy, in my opinion. Seriously.
- It's got a great score, too.
- Natascha McElhone has always been just stunningly beautiful and entrancing to me. Even if I didn't like all that other stuff above, I'd enjoy watching the film just to see her.
Is everyone in this house a total nutzoid or is it just me?

Ah, it was okay. I saw it for Udo Kier and Jeffrey Combs, even though Udo was only in it for the first ten minutes, at best. Oh well. You're right, at least it was free I got a deal with some books that was like that. The two that I bought were absolutely amazing, but the free one ended up being terrible and I couldn't even make it to the third chapter, lol.
What is this? This is piss. Piss with ink.

Yeah, it is really bad. I was high-budget, pretty well-known, and I get off on crappy horror films. Me and my friends like to laugh at how ridiculous they are. But this one was so bad I couldn't even laugh about it. The plot is pretty much nonexistent. The acting is, well, unconvincing at best. There is not a single sentence in this movie that hasn't been uttered in countless horror films. I expected it to be crap (as most horror movies are) but not this crap.

I can usually find something good to say about almost any movie. I often seek out bad movies deliberately, because they can be fun to watch.
'Feardotcom', however, is just plain bad. It's so bad that it made me feel angry and depressed. It is a miserable excuse for a movie! -

just know that the website in the movie is "feardotcom.com" and judge based on that

I saw this when it was released in the theater, and did like it, but the only thing that really turn me off was the buildings. None of them looks nice, and they all look like no one knew how to clean up at all. That I think is why no one like this movie. The setting is just bad. Every time I watched it, it just was like the trashiest city ever. Dark with very low lighting. Besides that it is a descent B movie. I never like remake Ring. Never watch J-horror or K-horror. Captions are just stupid.
I am a gore watching freak!!!
If it don't have it, it isn't worth the watch. -

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents and say yes, it really is that bad. I gave the film the benefit of the doubt and watched it with low expectations, but it just wasn't good at all. And what sucks the most is that this joins the ranks of being one of the biggest missed opportunities in horror. It had a decent story, a GREAT poster and a good cast what the HELL went wrong? Bad acting, bad writing, plot holesto name a few.
You're either playing dumb, or it's not an act. -

I dunno if you dont try and compare it to others like the ring and such than I thought it was a good movie. The only other movie that I could honestly and feel the best is comparing it to is pulse. There were a lot of good parts, and ive defiantly seen a lot worse. Im surprised it has such a low score on imdb, probley because it was targeted so mainstream and real film watchers will give anything a chance.

So a film you thought was mostly cack you just happened to watch a few times. Christ, there are so many decent worthwhile films out there, with so little time to watch them all, you spend that valuable time watching a mostly 'cack' movie over and over! What are you a masochist or just a fool.

It's really not as bad as the IMDb rating makes it out. Of course, it's no Oscar winner, either. I think it's genuinely scary in some parts.
FearDotCom has a similar 'creppy atmosphere' is The Ring, but the latter is much, much better done.

Omg. I'm assuming you've already watched it. It's such an awful film. Omg. I can't believe I'm sitting here bored as hell watching this shxt.
I don't care what anyone says-Woody Allen is an idiot.
