The cycle is complete


A Fantastic Fear of Everything (2012)

Directed by Crispian Mills and Chris Hopewell this adaptation stars Simon Pegg, Clare Higgins and Amara Karan. A writer researching serial killers becomes massively paranoid and has to face his fear of visiting the launderette.

This is one strange film with hilariously bizarre opening sections, the first half of the film is ridiculously funny. It is the second half of the plot that lets this film down with the resolution being a little bit too safe and wandering into more predictable territory. Simon Pegg is excellent as always in the lead role and the film is well worth watching for that alone.

4/5
