- SynopsisSupernatural film. Detective Mike Reilly teams up with Department of Health researcher Terry Huston when several bodies of people who died violent and inexplicable deaths turn up. All had burnt out computers, and trying to retrieve data from the systems and find a link, the woman helping them discovers a link to a gruesome and disturbing website feardot.com, but becomes a victim herself. Mike and Terry discover that all the victims died exactly 48 hours after logging in to the site. The site reflects the torture of victims by a sadistic serial killer known as The Doctor, who films himself at work, and whom Mike has been trying to catch for years. Mike and Terry both log into the site and have limited time to track down whatever is running the site, which urges Terry to "find me". Terry discovers that it is the vengeful ghost of one of The Doctor's early victims, utilising the internet to both attack voyeurs attracted to the site, getting into their minds and causing hallucinations and terrors based on the individual's deepest fears, but also giving clues as to where the Doctor is now, hoping for ultimate revenge on him.
