A Fantastic Fear of Everything - Region 2 DVD

Pegg stars as a writer, one who is researching his latest piece of work for television. In the process, he becomes more and more interested in Victorian serial killers, to the point where, as the title suggests, fear kicks in very easily. Stylistically interesting, the film never quite builds on that premise, and the back end in particular struggles. But Pegg is on good form here, and A Fantastic Fear of Everything is an interesting enough movie to warrant a viewing or two.

The disc comes with a series of interviews, a trailer, and deleted scenes. And then there's a feature length commentary track, which is the finest supplement of the lot. This features Simon Pegg along with co-directors Crispian Mills and Chris Hopewell, and they're engaging company. A Fantastic Fear of Everything may have problems, but it remains an interesting film on an interesting disc. –-Jon Foster
