Review of Audition (2000) by Phoenixdown — 10 Jun 2017
Quite simply the best horror film I have ever seen. It is visceral, intensely disturbing and unforgettable. I have seen many films which have made these claims, but Audition is one of the very few that have delivered.
This is largely due to the fact that first half of the film is a bitter sweet drama, if not a romantic comedy. Unlike the generic cast of characters who perish in your standard Western horror film, I felt empathy toward and emotionally invested in the main character - a sad, lonely yet likeable man trying to move on after the death of his wife.
In many ways this is an anti-horror film, a realistic nightmare that will stay with you for years thereafter.
