A fantastic fear of everything (film review)

I know it's been out a while but I only saw this today.

'IMDb  Jack is a children's author turned crime novelist whose detailed research into the lives of Victorian serial killers has turned him into a paranoid wreck, persecuted by the irrational fear of being murdered. When Jack is thrown a life-line by his long-suffering agent and a mysterious Hollywood executive takes a sudden and inexplicable interest in his script, what should be his big break rapidly turns into his big breakdown, as Jack is forced to confront his worst demons; among them his love life, his laundry and the origin of all fear.'

Well what can I say, not Simon Peggs greatest film. very slow and frankly boring, by halfway through I knew who the killer was.
To be honest a silly film shot mostly in gloom vision, skip the first hour and watch the best bit (best being compared to the rest of the film)

Wayne rating3/10   watch if your a huge Simon Pegg fan, but prepare to be dissapointed, doesn't even come close to films like hot fuzz, or shaun of the dead.
