AUDITION [1999]

Takashi Miike's Audition is a brilliantly crafted disturbing psychological horror film that is guaranteed to have you squirming by the end.
Unlike the torture porn genre which dumps the gore on you every 5 minutes, Miike allows the tension to slowly build up over the course of the film and then suddenly assaults you with some of the most horrifyingly memorable cinematic moments in history.   Eihi Shiina's haunted performance makes Alex Forrest and Annie Wilkes look like Mary Poppins.
