The heroes are a burnt-out copper (Stephen Dorff) and a health
expert (Natascha McElhone) and they find themselves trying
desperately to work out what is killing people in horrendous
ways. So terrible are the exits that the victims' faces are
all frozen in fear.
With detective skills in full cry, the couple discover a
link to a website where people can watch young women being
sadistically tortured to death in all manner of awful ways.
But there is a price and those who log in become the killer's
targets.
FearDotCom is very similar to The Ring. It's not as scary,
but is more visually interesting. There is a lot of art school
in the camera work that is boosted by a very good transfer.
It is dark, claustrophobic and lends itself to its subject
matter. The audio is excellent.
Sadly, the tale itself is badly handled and loses its way
about half-way through. In the end you cannot help but think
that it could have been much better.
Dorff is fine, McElhone is better again, and Stephen Rea
is suitably evil as The Doctor.
