few questions? (possible spoilers)


1. who was the killer- a man or a ghost/spirit?

2. after visiting the website you die in 48 hrs, what about all those subscribers? did they die?


3. who would kill the person that logged on?


4. who made the website?


5. did the guy(crazy doctor with gun) in the end have anything to do with the website and its killings?

After rewatching this recently, I've come to believe that this is a very misunderstood movie. It's biggest problem is that it's very convoluted. It has a plot that you really have to pay attention to. Here's what I got out of it at least. The killer has had a number of websites which are basically "snuff" sites. One of them was a website called Feardotcom where he killed a girl named Jeannie Richardson. He then abandoned the website (so as not to be caught) and started a another one called "Distressed furniture". The problem is old Jeannie is now out for revenge. Anyone logging onto FDC is a dead man. She kills people by giving them horrifying visions that cause them to kill themselves. I think it is sort of left to the audience (never a good idea) as to wether or not she is a ghost or some sort of electronic "residue" in the wires. This is either a Sci-Fi film or a ghost movie depending on how you look at it. Jeannie's goal is to kill the watchers and then finally the Serial Killer. Hummm.... as I'm describing this, I'm beginning to think this film is better than its rep. I'll get back to you... after I watch it again.

The Dr created the original website (feardotcom) in which he tortured and killed Jeannie, he then created other websites each time he killed so as not to be found by the police, Jeannie was the one killing as a spirit or something else not sure exactly what you would class her, she killed anyone who logged onto her site or rather tried to logon, her endgame though was getting the Dr., she couldn't get to him until the very end when Mike pulled up the site in front of the Dr. then she got her revenge, hope this helps answer some if your questions!!
