    Chicago Sun-Times | Roger Ebert

    Strange, how good feardotcom is, and how bad. The screenplay is a mess, and yet the visuals are so creative this is one of the rare bad films you might actually want to see. Read full review

    Variety | Scott Foundas

    Never quite realizes its potential to evoke the real horror of the Internet -- Yet, Malone has given the film a distinctive atmosphere and occasional flashes of his perverse sense of humor. Read full review

    New York Daily News | Jami Bernard

    The story is a mess, some of the images offensive, the acting under par and the dialogue silly. Read full review

    Entertainment Weekly | Lisa Schwarzbaum

    The film squanders every opportunity (and international-coproduction cent) on by now imitative Nine Inch Nails-video-style visual Goth-goo, and, scarily, forgets to input a plot or script that makes any sense. Read full review

    Austin Chronicle | Marc Savlov

    Would have made a hell of a short -- but falls flat on its hyperstylized face as a feature. Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Manohla Dargis

    The story leapfrogs abruptly from scene to scene, and it makes such a mockery of narrative logic and continuity that the cast tends to look either baffled (Dorff) or as if they're trying to remain unrecognized. Read full review

    Wall Street Journal |

    For the most part, the movie serves up an incomprehensible collage of high-tech voyeurism sprinkled with every hackneyed creep-out trick in the book -- from eerie little ghost girls to melting walls and scurrying cockroaches. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalle

    The film is a failure in just about every way, save for its acting, which is adequate. Read full review
