Empire -
It's always trying to do something unusual. It has a great lead in Pegg. What it doesn't have is an ending or a clear reason what it wants to be.

Total Film -
Fear falls short of fantastic yet it’s a decent effort that, like Pegg’s beard, proves to be something of a grower.

The A.V. Club -
The film’s whimsical specificity, random though it frequently seems, is the main thing it has going for it.

The Dissolve -
Fantastic Fear leaps all over the place narratively and conceptually, servicing the comedy of every individual scene without considering or linking the others. Some of those individual scenes are marvelous, though.

New York Daily News -
There’s also little point and a garish quality that goes from pulp to junk fairly quickly, despite Pegg’s presence.

A Fantastic Fear of Everything (2012)
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.
