Simon Pegg’s A Fantastic Fear of Everything sets a release date and gets a new trailer

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Simon Pegg looks at his absolute best here in the new trailer for A FANTASTIC FEAR OF EVERYTHING, which has just been slated for a VOD release on January 7th before it makes its limited theatrical run on February 7th. We've got the new trailer below and it paints a pretty dark and hilarious picture of the Crispian Mills-directed horror comedy. It's always nice to see Pegg take on the horror genre, especially when it's grounded in comedic roots because that's where he really shines as an actor. The dark, dreamlike atmosphere of this one is quite intriguing, and the trailer alone has me sold. See for yourselves!

Jack (Simon Pegg) 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.

Simon Pegg, Amara Karan, Clare Higgins and Paul Freeman all star. Dig on the trailer below!
