We attempt a live render of every scanned site in a safe sandbox. This one couldn’t be reached — the failure itself is a signal, noted in the analysis below.

Visual analysis

We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.

Confidence

The site is a free movie and TV streaming mirror that clones the layout of the original FMovies service. Three separate security reports list it with blacklist warnings or malware analysis flags. Gridinsoft assigns a 29/100 trust score while Any.Run recorded malicious activity. The domain is part of the FMovies mirror network that appeared after Vietnamese authorities shut down the original site in 2024. Our sandbox could not render the page due to a server error, which prevents direct inspection of current content. Reddit users treat fmovies.ps as one of many rotating domains for the same service.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page could not be captured due to a server/proxy error, so we have no live visual confirmation of the current interface. Evidence from multiple sources describes it as a free streaming site offering movies and TV shows without payment. Users on Reddit r/Piracy reference it as a working or previously working mirror domain.

Infrastructure

No WHOIS registration data or SSL certificate details were available in our scan. The domain carries a .ps Palestinian ccTLD but shows no business registration or owner information. Two security engines (alphaMountain.ai and Gridinsoft) marked the URL as suspicious while the remaining 90 engines returned clean results.

Domain History

No creation date or registrar information could be located. The domain is explicitly identified as a clone of fmovies.to and part of the FMovies mirror network that emerged after the original site was taken down in August 2024.

Web Reputation

Three independent reports flag the site: Gridinsoft lists a blacklist warning and 29/100 trust score, FireStickTricks notes one of 96 vendors flagged it as malicious, and Any.Run contains a malware analysis report. an independent review aggregator gives a positive assessment citing a valid SSL certificate, though that review references the fmovie.ps variant. Semrush estimates roughly 314,000 US visitors and ranks the domain around position 86,065 in US traffic.

What this means for you

The combination of piracy-related content, confirmed clone status, and multiple low-trust scanner results indicates elevated risk. The site may serve ads, trackers, or malicious scripts even if the core streaming function works. Avoid entering any personal information or payment details.

Risk Factors

Confirmed clone of fmovies.to with no independent business registration.
Gridinsoft assigns 29/100 trust score and lists the domain on its blacklist.
Any.Run report documents malicious activity associated with the URL.

Positive Signals

Zero detections from 90 of 92 antivirus engines in our network.
Semrush reports substantial US traffic volume around 314K monthly visits.

AI Recommendation

Do not enter login details, payment information, or download any files from this site. Use official streaming services instead.

What to do

Possible brand impersonation

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

Treat fmovies.ps as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
Report the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
