A Fantastic Fear Of Everything (2012) 6/10

Starring : Simon Pegg, Amara Karan, Clare Higgins, Alan Drake, Paul Freeman
Director : Crispian Mills
Running Time : 97 mins

Children’s author Jack Nife (Pegg) has started to write a novel about Victorian killers, and as a result he has become obsessed with killers and has become paranoid that everyone is out to get him. When he is told by his agent, Clair De Grunwald (Higgins), about a possible publisher that is interested in his book, he finally gets the courage to take his clothes to the launderette – a place that brings back bad memories from his childhood…

This was not what I was expecting. Simon Pegg was good in his role, but the story just didn’t go anywhere and its basic moral is that we should be afraid because there are serial killers everywhere. Fans of Pegg may find it hard to watch this, as it isn’t very funny, but if you watch it as a tongue-in-cheek study of paranoia then you might actually enjoy some parts.
