Feardotcom

Feardotcom was released in 2002 (which seems like such a long time ago) It tried to warn us about the evils of the internet.

Stephen Rea (The Crying Game) stars as a baddie who runs a torture chamber that can be viewed online by multiple viewers.

Astrid Skuyat stars as the poor woman who is strapped in for the rough ride.

Thankfully, nothing happens to Astrid (other than being strapped up and gagged), because the film's star Natascha McElhone shows up to do a last minute rescue.

Of course, there's a big, knock-down, dragged-out fight, with Rea using Astrid as a shield at one point.

But Rea ultimately gets the stuffing kicked out of him. And Astrid is saved.

My favorite moment is when Astrid, having been freed of her bonds on the floor, finally removed the gag from her mouth.

And--surprise!--it turns out she was wearing a real muzzle over her mouth. No expense spared on this flick, apparently.
