Perfect cast and a good story

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A Fantastic Fear of Everything gives us Jack. And Jack is a hilariously exaggerated glimpse into the life of a writer who has fallen into the pit of obsession. Like they tend to do. Murder? Phobias? Knife wielding? Little accidents with glue and stoves? Tighty whities?Please!Very British, funny, and oddly relatable.

I'm a bit surprised by the low rating this film currently holds. Sure, it's a bit off beat in terms of dramaturgy and there are certain passages where the dialogue feels forced. But those are really minor concerns as the acting, fantastic setting, wonderful atmosphere and strangeness of the films more than makes up for it.If you've ever experienced paranoia this film will hit the mark with you. The way Simon Pegg portrays the illogical mind of a paranoid person is quite spot on.The film also deserves credit for its imaginary set dressing and effective use of simple but functional special effects and the animated sequences, as well as its nods to classic horror films and victoriana.

I am a very big fan of Simon Pegg, (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Worlds End and Paul). A Fantastic Fear of Everything is not Pegg's best work, but still a rather enjoyable film that I found hilarious (The best was probably PC Taser playing 'Final Countdown' near the end).A Fantastic Fear of Everything is one of those films that you just need to sit back, watch, and just enjoy the film for what it is. I have only watched it once, and, truth be told, it will probably stay that way.There isn't really much else to say about this film. It is basically a Comedy/Thriller about a guy scared to go outside because he thinks he is going to be murdered. Just watch it.

At first I found it cringe worthy but yet intriguing, then I started to laugh out loud when I stared to sympathize and relate to the issues at hand, then I got confused, then I laughed some more, and then I was happily surprised...Not bad reaction for one film, I think the scenery was great and the character very likable, the narration was great.At some points it was a little to much but that is to be expected, i think I could have been toned down slightly at some points, where it seemed to want to tick some sort of "we need this in the film to make it palatable" tick-box.
