Has anyone here seen Audition?  I saw John Landis talking about this on 100 scariest movies of all time (or whatever), and decided to rent it.

This movie disturbed me, but overall, it was good.  From a creepy, unnerving perspective.  Torture stuff isn't usually my thing, but this kept my interest.  Not one I would add to my personal collection, or really even watch again, but worth seeing once.  It kept my "what the hell??" meter on high.

From the second they showed that "sack" I was hopelessly glued to the screen...I couldn't wait to see what was in it! And then ofcourse my waiting payed off in spades...Great movie from a director who's work is (at times) hit or miss.

Yep, Audition is one of Miike's best flicks.

The film is so cold, bleak and has a feeling of......isolation.  

Great little film.

I bought the DVD back in 2004 and I agree, it is pretty disturbing.

Is this the Japanese film where the shy girl takes the guy home and start sawing off body parts? I know the part where she was sawing his foot off was quite disturbing.

I also first heard of AUDITION on Scariest Movies Moments last year. I still haven't seen it except for the clips on the TV special. Netflix does have a copy.

Yep....that's the one.  I did think it was a good movie...just somewhat strange and off-putting.  It absolutely succeeds in creeping you out.

The girl is so shy and sweet and adorable and totally insane.

Still have to see it. I have a low tolerance for gore and something tells me some bits will be too much for me. All my friends speak wonders of it, though, so it's in my list.

Neville,

The gore level in the film isn't too bad.  It certainly isn't anything remotely close to some of Miike's other films, like Ichi The Killer.

If you want a thriller that starts off looking almost innocent, and slowly turning into nightmare, get this movie.  I didn't know much about it until I picked up a cheap copy, and I was lulled into a sense of pleasant curiosity.  It subtly becomes more and more dream-like and twisted until the very end, in which I was thinking, 'no way, she can't do that ... holy heck, she's doing it ... oh crap, she's not stopping ... aaarrggh!'

Watch this movie.  Definitely.

Stupid question but is this film in English or do you have to read subtitles?
