By Daniel Bradley,
When you sit down to a film in which Simon Pegg stars, you expect something quirky, fun and a little unconventional. This is exactly what you get with this little gem.
A paranoid and delusional ex-children's fiction writer from London fears he will become just another grizzly murder statistic after researching Victorian homicides for his latest novel. The film takes us on a tour through the psyche of a man riddled with anxiety and crippled by a fantastic fear of nearly everything.
What's particularly fun about this film is, after you leave the house, you have no idea what's going to happen next. A simple trip to the laundrette is turned into a tour de force of emotion. I never thought I'd write that in this blog…
Best bits: The knife.
Worst bits: Gas mark 6.
For fans of Bunny and the Bull.
Rating: 6.8/10
