comment |
A Fantastic Fear of Everything is a 2012 British horror-comedy film, directed by Crispian Mills and Chris Hopewell, and starring Simon Pegg.It follows Jack, a writer who has developed a crippling fear of being murdered while trying to write Decades of Death, a television serial about Victorian Era serial killers. After being invited to meet Harvey Humphries, a BBC head of scripts interested in his teleplays, Jack must face the world and another crippling fear of his, the laundrette.Heavily inspired by Victorian Gothic Horror, this low budget film is borderline surreal in parts, even featuring a 3 minute stop motion sequence at one point. |

Missing Mom: Jack was abandoned by his mother as young boy, in a laundrette, which explains his irrational fear of them. In fact, it turns out to be the very launderette that he has to visit in the present day. |
