CassieOct 20, 2020My wifi went down 20 minutes before this was over so I was like "Oh okay, I'll use this time to make a quesadilla that I've been craving this whole time!" So I make the quesadilla, right? Wifi comes back on, I press play, and what I'm trying to say is I'm not gonna eat this…

alex todd 🧟♂️“This wire can cut through flesh and bone easily.” There is a large canvas bag on the floor. It is tied with rope. Inside it, a living thing moves violently. Before Audition descends into a maelstrom of hallucination and shocking violence, it moves along placidly as a…

Bugga lovedAuditionMixed feelings for sure. Really slow buildup but then everything sort of picks up. A deep but confusing film that touches on trauma, misogyny, loneliness, lust. The list is infinite. And man the lead actress is scarily GOOD!

Chulia likedAuditionA quiet Movie, if you want to enjoy it you really have to be focused on what exactly is happening and how it's connected. Maybe eat up before you get to the second half of the movie ':) But over all, it's definitly worth watching
Charles Burns likedAuditionI did really liked the movie but for first time watchers I would say don’t try to understand the movie. I felt like the whole movie I was trying to guess what was going on and understand if he was dreaming or not. My advice is to take the movie for what it is on the first timeTHU
- odilis likedAudition
the movie depicts the typical male arrogance with it’s self-pity and masochism.the first half it’s slow alongside a crescendo of doubt from the mc, in the second half it gets really crazy, with unpredictable changes and grotesqueness. i enjoyed it with a fair share of disgust.
ChungiBoi likedAuditionA film that keeps you wondering where it’s going to go, impressive in its ability to keep a continuous story while also drastically changing genres. Though subjective endings sometimes annoy me, this is so well constructed I enjoy trying to piece it together after the fact
Emily Cara dislikedAuditioni’ve been wanting to watch this for a long time bc it was always advertised online as “super gruesome/horror/bloody/disturbing” but i was booorrrred. it was slow and more of a thematic movie rather than a lot of gore. fyi for those who thought similar

A warning is virtually mandated: No one who's even the least bit squeamish should even think about seeing Audition. But, if you have a taste for the disturbing, it's a trip that will stay with you for some time.

New Times (L.A.)
The picture is about victims -- but it's also a great, sick rush with a kicker on the level of The Vanishing.
A.O. Scott
The New York Times
The most startling aspect of this slow-building horror movie is how unexpectedly it morphs from a quietly romantic suspense yarn to a flat-out tale of terror that may have some viewers hiding under their seats.
