The Art of Suspense
By a customer from Bristol , 20 Sep 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
Audition starts and remains, for about three quarters of the film, incredibly slow. There?s no two ways about it. It is deliberate. Audition is so slow, it actually leads you in to a false sense of security and possibly even touching on sleepy.
And then bang!!!!! The final quarter of the movie is the reason that you hire it. Shocking, sick, full of blood and all the other things we craze from horror movies of this ilk.
I recommend you watch the movie in Japanese with English subtitles; it adds to the suspense and there is a lovely juxtaposition between the soft Japanese accent of a beautiful young woman and her subsequent acts of barbarity. There?s little else to say without giving the game away, except that it is a dark movie indeed.
If you liked Audition be sure to hire Ring and Ring 2.- Was this review helpful to you?

(310)Slow and unsatisfying
By deusex85 (7 reviews) , 03 May 2013could summarise the film in 10 seconds: Auditions women, one i s a nutcase, she tries to kill him, end. Considering all this is given away in the synopsis, I'm left wondering what the point was.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not Quite.......
By NeveRon (2 reviews) , 17 Feb 2013I liked the quality of the acting and the build up, but a little too slow and indulgant in it's own gore. Superficial in its exploration of character and motive for actions Overall it did not live up to expectation- Was this review helpful to you?

Love Asian horror? You'll love this one!
By JulieRNorthumberland (35 reviews) , 10 Jan 2013Totally enjoyed this film which is totally brutal in parts but hey watch pride and prejudice if you want to avoid asian horror in all its glory. Some very haunting imagery and kept me totally transfixed in the way that only eastern horror genre can.- Was this review helpful to you?
