Die fürchterliche Furcht vor dem Fürchterlichen (2012)

Die fürchterliche Furcht vor dem Fürchterlichen: Directed by Crispian Mills, Chris Hopewell. With Simon Pegg, Alan Drake, Kiran Shah, Jack Jaikol Situn. A crime novelist, whose research on Victorian serial killers has turned him into a paranoid wreck, must confront his worst fears, when a film executive takes a sudden interest in his movie script.

“This film will find its audience among fans of dark comedy. Donu0026#39;t expect the broad appeal of u0026quot;Shaun of the Deadu0026quot; or u0026quot;Hot Fuzzu0026quot;, and comparisons to other Simon Pegg films miss the point. This is a film deserving attention, especially for writers and the u0026quot;cultu0026quot; audience who enjoy quirky, unique dark comedies/mysteries.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eReviewers forget that some films are not for everyone, and their opinion is worth nothing in the evaluation of such films. This one may be very much enjoyed by a smaller audience, even after several viewings. u0026quot;Fantastic Fearu0026quot; ranks among the u0026quot;love it or leave itu0026quot; types; you may find it annoying or too odd, like u0026quot;Dark Shadowsu0026quot;, or itu0026#39;s tremendous fun.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Burke u0026amp; Hareu0026quot; also divided audiences, yet this film has more in common with murder-mysteries, like a cross between u0026quot;Clueu0026quot; and a spoofy take on say, the recent u0026quot;The Raven (2012)u0026quot;. Better than both films, IMO, this will live on with DVD and Blu-ray releases, thankfully.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBox office numbers and critical u0026quot;consensusu0026quot; are ultimately short-lived, and very deceptive. Give this a chance if you like dark comedies. And it must be said that Simon Peggu0026#39;s acting resume becomes increasingly impressive. Regardless of the final product, you have to give him props. And here, the final product is better than you might expect.”
