Trivia
In pre-production the website featured in the film was called Fear.com, despite the producers not owning that website in real-life. They had hoped to buy the domain name from its owners at the time, but were told that it was not for sale at any price, leading to the website's name in the film being changed to Feardotcom.com.

Goofs
When Terry and Mike find the doctor, Terry gets injected with a drug in the neck, but a couple of seconds later she runs to comfort Mike acting as though there are no effects of the drug.

FEAR DOT COM (2002) *1/2 Stephen Dorff, Natascha McElhone, Stephen Rea, Udo Kier, Jeffrey Combs, Amelia Shankley, Gesine Cukrowski. Listless cyber thriller cum horror flick involving a Website that thrives on its audience's fears and a string of grisly murders investigated by a NYC detective and a public health expert (Dorff and McElhone both sleepwalking through this muddled mess) tracking the deranged sadist (Rea seemingly channeling Peter Lorre in a misguided vocal interpretation) responsible. Despite an intriguing premise the film derails by the third ridiculous act even as its production design and cinematography retain its eerie atmosphere jolting some life to it. (Dir: William Malone)
