Audition
Directed by Takashi Miike

But as he delves into her past, he learns her former acquaintances have either gone missing - or have missing limbs. Will he be next? Thanks to its heart-stopping final act, Miike's chilling tale put him in the pantheon of great horror directors, and led to the J-Horror genre becoming a worldwide phenomenon. If you haven't seen it, be warned: when the needles come out, there's no turning back.... (In Japanese with English Subtitles)

3½💀 This was pretty much what I expected it to be - dark and more thriller than horror. It stays very true to the book with only one noticeably omitted scene (for which I am grateful). Miike and Tengan did a fantastic job translating Murakami's novel to the screen, if anything making it even darker. Eihi Shiina shines as Asami, the central character
Very slow burn. You’ll be waiting for things to speed up, then they’ll go from 0 to 100 very quickly, then you’re gonna be left confused.
Very slow burn, but worth the watch
wow brilliant
I really liked the slow burn of the movie and the themes of the male gaze throughout the movie, but with the pacing and the fact that it's not as much of a horror movie as other miike movies I think that it might not be for everybody
