Audition is a brilliant film, and one that truly secured Miike's place in the exalted circle of horror masters. I watched it for the first time without knowing anything about the movie previously... Needless to say, I was quite affected when what I thought to be a harmless romance went horribly awry.

Audition
Looks like I missed the original thread - thanks for "moving" me.
Horribly awry? I think even that's a pretty big understatement! My friend hinted about the torture. I usually try to avoid watching extreme scenes like those. Gore never bothers me - just prolonged suffering. Just a softie I guess. :o

I was severely dissappointed by Audition. The first half of the movie was like a gentle TV drama. I JUST managed to stay awake, ready for the second half, which did improve a bit. There were SOME creepy moments, and a nice S&M scene at the end. But all in all it didn't live up to the hype. Maybe I was expecting too much. If I'd watched it not knowing that it was a horror film, then it might have had more of an impact.

I thought the Audition was a terrific movie. The slowness in developing the characters added to my horror. From the beginning I felt the man was going to get something he deserved at the end, toying with lives the way he did, manipulating an audition so he can decide who is ok for him. His chauvenist conduct had to be severely punished. It made me wonder if this story worked that way because of the Japanese male culture. Are things still that male dominated and women submissive over there? The shy softness and gentility of the main character made her actions more horrific. Her torture was playful and done with giggling glee. That moving sack too - great shiver. And did she vomit in a plate and feed it to the thing in the sack? Tsk Tsk Tsk. Too cool.

I orginally saw clips on Bravo's 100 greatest moments in horror and was intregued by Audition. It was shown on the Indy channel not long after. I thought it was good, but has been said already was a little slow to get started.

i loved the slow and uncertain start - it really didn't feel like a horror film until it got near the middle - that made the ending all the better for me
