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."{{cite web |last1=Kronke |first1=David |title=Fatal Error |url=https://variety.com/1999/tv/reviews/fatal-error-1200456834/ |website=Variety |date=25 March 1999 |access-date=24 February 2023}} 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."{{cite web |last1=Cressey |first1=Earl |title=Fatal Error |url=https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/3361/fatal-error/ |website=DVD Talk |access-date=24 February 2023}}
