Yawn, yawn, yawn ... snore ... fitful sleep ... Take the horror & thriller tags from this movie because it is neither of those things. I can't believe I sat through the entire thing, I was soooo bored with it, I would not recommend this to anyone.

Kiri, kiri, kiri, kiri... Eihi Shiina is creepy as Asami Yamazaki. One of the most terrifying woman in a film I've ever seen! Anyway, I didn't mind the slow pace of this film. It led me to a false sense of security, what could go wrong, what will happen, what has Takashi Miike in store for us. I was relaxing, drinking my morning milk until suddenly that freaking sack moved and almost spilled my milk. Such a great jump scare. And damn, what she was hiding in that sack! Worst pet ever! Like almost nothing in horror films give me shivers anymore, not really, but damn those needles? Can't stand to watch that somehow! And yes, Asami, you are right,that wire did cut through meat and bone easily. I agree with every review here that Audition is a film you need to watch without knowing anything beforehand. It is a amazing slowly paced film with two great performances and amazing direction by Miike! Kiri, kiri, kiri, kiri!

I think the best approach to “Audition” would be to watch it completely without any prior knowledge. The first jump scare is extremely effective as it is, but up to that point in the movie, it's not even clear what genre it's supposed to be. Ultimately, I would definitely say that the movie takes too much time to get there, but this also makes the intense finale that much more effective. What is reality and dream in the end is certainly up to the viewer; at least director Takashi Miike plays with time and space. Overall, “Audition” is a strong movie in terms of craftsmanship. However, the first half may bore some viewers, and the ending may put some people off. Fortunately, neither was the case for me.

[5.9/10] What the fuck did I just watch?

I’m not sure I have ever seen a movie that spent so much of its runtime in a state of utter, indulgent doldrums, only to break into some mindfuck-worthy, elliptical horror that almost makes the overextended windup feel worth it, only to devolve into dist More

You'll only love me. Wont you?

As the film lovers of the Western World clamoured for more Asian horror, along came Ôdishon (Audition), a one of a kind sort of pic. Its positive reputation is well deserved, though what negative press exists is certainly understandable.

I think _Asamy_ wanted the relationship to work—which explains the "You are the first one who is really warmhearted and tries to accept me." monologue re-appearance at the end—, but when she snuck into _Aoyama_'s house and saw his wife's picture still erect on his desk, she reali More
