"Jack is an unpublished children's author whose happy marriage has been destroyed by his obsession of one of his books, Harold the Hedgehog. Now, he is obsessed with serial killers and paranoid that people are always watching him. He is working on a series of scripts titled "Decades of Death" about Victorian-era serial killers. His agent Claire tells him that Harvey Humphries, the head of scripts at the BBC, is interested in "Decades of Death" and arranges a meeting between the two for the next day. Jack is now worried that he is the next target of the Hanoi Handshake Killer, who cuts off eight fingers of his victims. One day, a helicopter does a search to find the killer and flies past Jack's apartment. Frustrated, Jack permanently closes the window shut with a bottle of superglue. Jack is now worried that Humphries is a serial killer, due to his first name being the middle name of one of the subjects for "Decades of Death".
An interesting british comedy/horror film starring Simon Pegg who does a wonderful comedic job in this film. His "self talks" truly added to the character's bizarre life in a self made prison. This is a film that only Simon Pegg could have done. It's only missing Nick Frost and the film would have been even more funny. You don't have to understand British culture to understand the jokes, just enjoy the ride.
2/5
