A Fantastic Fear of Everything
Dir: Crispian Mills
2012
**
I went to college with Crispian Mills and I didn't like him. I didn't like his bloody Kula Shaker either but it does seem like he's finally found his calling. With a little help that is. There is quality within the film, the idea was sound and the production looks beautiful - every composition is fantastic and the classic film references suggest that everyone involved knows their stuff. It's just so badly written. Apparently it was meant to be a short film and they decided to extend it. It really shows unfortunately and takes a lot away from all the good elements of the overall film. The 'hip-hop gangster rap' scene knocked a couple of stars off my rating on its own! It could be wonderful with editing.
