comment
FeardotCom is a 2002 American/Luxembourgian horror film directed by William Malone and starring Stephen Dorff, Natascha McElhone and Stephen Rea, while Udo Kier and Jeffrey Combs appear in minor roles.Four dead bodies are found in New York City. The coincidence? They all died 48 hours after logging on to a site named feardotcom.com. Tough homicide detective Mike Reilly (Dorff) teams up with Department of Health associate Terry Huston (McElhone) to research these mysterious deaths. But the only way to find out what really happened is to enter the site itself...

Ominous Visual Glitch

comment
Ominous Visual Glitch: Whenever people click on the site, it first manifests as a dark blot spreading across the screen. At the end of the film, when Jeannie traps Pratt's soul in Cyberspace, it's shown as a sepia version of reality which is constantly glitching and shimmering.

Kick the Dog: Jeannie appears to Polidori as he's dying, first in her child form, then her ghost form. This is after he tried to save her child form from being hit by a train.

Ambiguous Ending: At the end of the film, Terry gets a phone call with nothing but static. It's never revealed if this is Jeannie calling to "thank" her, or Mike trying to communicate with her.

comment
Disproportionate Retribution: The website will kill anyone who accesses it, regardless of their intent. Polidori and Denise are both cursed simply for investigating the site. This is especially harsh, as the site is interactive, and allows people to directly communicate with Jeannie before cursing them.

Shout-Out

Shout-Out: The underwater sequence where Terry finds Jeannie's body in a flooded steel mill is clearly inspired by Inferno. Jeannie's child form, a little girl with platinum blonde hair and a white ball, is taken directly from Toby Dammit.
