The EVIL Internet
In contrast to the classiness of killer dolls, heres a super example of when good possession goes bad. Fear Dot Com tells the story of a web site possessed by the disgruntled spirit of a brutalized victim. It sports a plot similar to many films about ghostly hauntings: stuck in a treacherous cycle, the ghost will not stop until what wronged them has been made right. Its a dangerous game to try to exploit the Internet; mostly due to the fact that by its very nature its already exploitative. How do you thrive on the thrill of corruption if the source is already well known to be corrupted? Theres no shock value in saying And what if the internet was evil?! followed by some low horns and timpani hits. Considering the kind of content being divulged through cyber space even as you read this, theres very little obscene ground left undisturbed. For a horror film whose main goal should be to horrify, the Internet posses stiff competition, especially when its the focus of the film.
