“Never having heard about the 2013 Japanese horror movie u0026quot;Fuan No Taneu0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Pet Peeveu0026quot;) prior to sitting down here in 2023 to watch it. So I didnu0026#39;t know what I was in for here, nor what to expect.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd on that note, then writer and director Toshikazu Nagae had every opportunity to entertain and impress me with the script for this movie. Nor was I familiar with the Manga from writer Masaaki Nakayama, so I donu0026#39;t know how true the storyline in the movie is to the Manga material.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThough it hardly mattered, because this movie from director Toshikazu Nagae fell entirely short of entertaining me, much less capturing my interest. It was a movie that was struggling uphill even from the very beginning, and the storyline and characters just simply never managed to latch onto me, so I frankly didnu0026#39;t care about either.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was bored senseless trying to sit through the movie, and I ended up giving up a mere 40 minutes into the ordeal. And while the movie runs at only 87 minutes, I have no intention of returning to attempt to finish watching it, because I simply didnu0026#39;t care about the storyline or the characters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of u0026quot;Fuan No Taneu0026quot; lands on a two out of ten stars.”
