Terror is lurking online in this
thriller directed by
William Malone, who also helmed the 1999 remake of
House on Haunted Hill.
Mike Reilly (
Stephen Dorff) is a NYPD detective who has been assigned to look into a string of murders which have taken place in Manhattan, with
Terry Houston (
Natascha McElhone), a researcher from the city Department of Health, lending her assistance whether
Reilly likes it or not.
Reilly discovers that all four victims have one thing in common -- they were all men who logged on to the same Internet website exactly 48 hours before they were killed. It seems the website features a sexy woman offering kinky fun to those who enter her domain, but clicking the wrong icon takes users on a journey into fear.
Reilly decides the only way to find out the truth is to head into the website and find out what follows for the next two days -- if he can make it out alive.
Fear dot com also stars
Stephen Rea,
Jeffrey Combs, and
Udo Kier.
