Editorial Review - Amazon.com
If you want the full sledgehammer-to-the-stomach effect of Audition, stop reading this review now. Just watch it and take the consequences. At first glance, Takashi Miike's jack in the box of a movie works like a romantic comedy: amiable widower Shigeharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi) decides it's time to find a new wife, and a friend suggests holding a fake audition to find the right girl. It soon becomes clear that there is something wrong with Aoyama's choice. This is no ordinary Fatal Attraction-style thriller, however; Audition slowly and carefully builds into a wrenching exploration of both deep male fears and the stereotype of the cute, submissive Japanese woman. Audition is by no means an easy movie to watch--even hardcore horror fans may have trouble--but it will stay with you for a long, long time. --Ali Davis
See All The 5 Stars? They're Probably Paid To Give It 5 Stars
A Customer Review by I'm Hard To Satisfy. That's Why My Opinion Counts The Most.
See all those people that say this movie is overrated?
Believe them. I didn't at first but after watching it, boy was it boring. Expect nothing scary at all, its more gory than anything and only towards the end. About 50 minutes of the whole movie is about him setting up an audition for these guys.
My reviews might not sound as complete as some of those that give this 5 stars, but it speaks the truth. Don't be fooled by overrated junk.
I think you should still watch it though if you're curious, never let someone else's opinion cloud yours, this is my opinion as an avid horror film water; Japanese, American, Korean, Thai, Chinese....you name it, as long as it has English subs.
wildly overrated
A Customer Review by unprotected friendliness
I love horror movies more than any other type and was really excited to see this movie, but my god, was it a disappointment. There really isnt anything good about this movie. I didn't find it to be as disturbing or gruesome as everyone said, the story was just stupid, it was boring, and the ending was weak, just because something is violent doesn't mean its good. This is just another japanese horror piece of crap, the ring was better than this, and thats really sad.
dont waste your time with this
