50Strange, 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.

38As scary and minor-chord heavy as FearDotCom can be, there's no big payoff, no logical resolution.
-
30There's a germ of an interesting idea here, but it's smothered by gloomy cinematography a la "Seven" (1995) and grating implausibilities, like the fact that everyone lives in the kind of cavernous, dankly art-directed dumps that only internet millionaires and trust fund twinkies can afford in the real New York.

25The story is a mess, some of the images offensive, the acting under par and the dialogue silly.
