Bad watch, probably won’t watch again, and can’t recommend unless you’re ona Simon Pegg binge or an eccentric writer.I like Simon Pegg, but this doesn’t feel like one of his movies, and maybe that was the point.
It has an interesting premise, and maybe I wasn’t in the right frame of mind for the movie, but I don’t find the paranoia and mental afflictions of the character funny: I don’t even feel they’re presented as jokes.
There is some heavily worked situational comedy, but the movie doesn’t feel like a comedy itself.
Long story short: it was kind of a depressing watch with some mildy interesting psychology to it and rather little criminology.
It all hinges on Simon Pegg, and for me, he makes it work. _A Fantastic Fear of Everything_ will not be for everyone, indeed, it’s darker than even your average horror comedy, but I am happy to have seen it._Final rating:★★★ – I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
Underrated
Before I start this review I want to emphasize that this movie is definitely not for everyone, but it sure is an experience whether you like it or not. Now, let’s start, shall we?A Fantastic Fear of Everything tells the story of Jack, a tormented, seemingly paranoid horror author gone child writer doing his daily chores and overcoming his bizarre primal fears while he’s at it, and although I won’t spoil anything, that’s basically everything the movie does aside from the last quarter, perhaps 20 minutes of the film. Simon Pegg is for the most part great as jack, but being a fan of exaggerated performances from time to time, even I have to admit that the abundance of his character is a bit fatiguing at times, complete with panic attacks every two minutes and more to come. But that being said, aside from these two major flaws, I honestly can’t say more bad things about this movie, the sheer humbleness and generally small scale of the story and Simon Pegg’s nearly laughable level of over-the-top character are probably the two major reasons people were put off by this movie when it came out and have been calling it quits to date. But if you’re an avid fan of Simon Pegg’s work, an something new in general, this movie won’t disappoint. And that’s were the things that this movie DOES hit spot-on kick in: the amazing, dark camera work with small sections of gruesome, yet appealing animation (almost Tim Burton-esque), the pitch-black humour, the hilarious twist, and the terrific final seconds make this one a must-watch for horror/dark comedy/Simon Pegg fans for me, despite all its flaws.
I don’t know what’s going on!!!!
I bought tickets to this movie for its premier at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival based on the trailer alone and went in with some trepidation after checking its IMDb rating and reading some critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.Having seen the movie tonight, I can honestly say I feel like I’m from another planet then those reviewers. I absolutely loved this film! It was hilarious, creepy, intelligent, and unique. I was roaring through the whole thing, and it wasn’t just me! The entire theater was rolling in their seats! The directer, Chrispian Mills was there and I stayed afterwords to shake his hand and tell him I am now a fan. There was a line of people wanting do the same thing.
I made an IMDb account specifically to tell you to pay no attention to the negative critic ratings. If you’ve seen the trailer and you think it looks like something you’d enjoy, then for God sakes go see it!
