Review of Audition (2000) by Lewis C — 23 Nov 2011

"Words create lies. Pain can be trusted.".

This is a great example of slow-burn horror done right, and with a very bloody payoff.. Audition begins as somewhat unsettling and ends up excruciating to watch, and I mean that in the best way possible. What starts out as a somewhat misguided attempt by a middle-aged father to find a new wife several years after his has passed away, turns into something horrifying and more than a little sad. Bring a strong stomach and some patience to Auditon, and you won't be disappointed.
