First time directors Crispian Mills & Chris Hopewell cast Simon Pegg as a struggling children's author who develops an unhealthy obsession with serial killers and murder in the black comedy A Fantastic Fear Of Everything.
With Pegg in it I thought it might be worth a laugh or two even if it is a bad film. I was wrong.
Pegg sleeps walks his way through this dreadfully boring excuse for a comedy that drags it's feet on it's way to developing any sort of purpose at all. There were some interesting animated bits thrown into the mix and a delightfully bitchy performance from Clare Higgins but beyond that it's just plain dull.

I almost watched this a few days ago but it had no Nick Frost so I went for something else instead. It sounds like I got lucky. :)
Another one of your bargain bin purchases?
It's pretty terrible.
