Review of FearDotCom (2002) by Charles R — 03 Jul 2014

Can we all please go back and re watch this? I hope some day we can all come to terms with what this movie is.......Good?

No not in the slightest, this movie astonished and perplexed me to no end though. It's hardly original, but the final product is undeniable unique. I haven't been captivated, entertained and wholly engrossed in a movie this much for quite some time.

And it's not even as simple as "so bad it's good"....this film's over the top slick style transcends average film making in a way few movies do. It's plot is pure gibberish, so nonsensical that it feels complex and exhilarating. Nothing ever adds up, nothing even outs, and that's where the creepiness and the mystery stem from. All of this is anchored in by the ridiculous over-direction, turning this into a horror epic of massive scope and proportions.

It's like the filmmakers had a final product in mind, but tried building it with all the wrong parts, and way too many of them, yet still managed to violently beat and force it into some extravagantly distorted image of their original design.

I'm calling cult classic on this one, someday. So why don't you get ahead of the curve, go give this one a re watch. It's far from a waste of time.
