Reception
David Kronke of Variety said, "TBS' maiden entry into original filmmaking, "Fatal Error," is a diverting enough cautionary technophobic thriller pointedly commenting on the ossifying effects of addiction to TV and computers, even if the filmmakers don't exploit the satire particularly well."[2] Earl Cressey of DVD Talk said, "Fatal Error starts off fairly decent, but soon delves into the regular rut of most made for TV films: it becomes predictable and clichéd. It almost seems like The X-Files gone bad."[3]
