that shit would probably give me nightmares for months... i'm hellllllla cool off this movie.
oh come on quit being such a pussy

i thought youve seen everything there is to see on the internet? if youve seen even 20% of the internet youd be having night terrors at this point, lol.

i dunno one of the most fucked up movies ive ever seen was "audition"


Critical response
Audition had its share of audience walk-outs. When shown at the 2000 Rotterdam Film Festival, one enraged female viewer confronted Miike by shouting at him: "You're evil!"[2] During uncensored members-only shows at the Irish Film Institute in Dublin in 2001, some patrons collapsed in apparent shock. One audience member was rushed to the St. James's Hospital but later discharged himself.[3]
For its unflinching graphic content, the film has been likened to the film adaptation of Stephen King's Misery and Nagisa Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses. Among filmmakers featured on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments (on which the film appeared at #11), notable horror directors including John Landis and Rob Zombie found the film very difficult to watch,[4] given its grisly content; Landis claiming that its extremities even deterred him from enjoying the film overall. Bloody Disgusting ranked the film fourteenth in their list of the 'Top 20 Horror Films of the Decade', with the article saying "Considered by many to be Takashi Miike’s masterpiece, this cringe-inducing, seriously disturbed film boasts one of the most unbearable scenes of torture in movie history... It’s revolting in the best possible way; the prolific Miike goes for the jugular here, and he cuts deep."[5]
Feminist critics responded to the way women were portrayed as epitomizing different stereotypes, and to Aoyama and Yoshikawa's definition of the ideal woman. However, Audition can also be seen as a subversive commentary on these themes. Although initially presented as a passive model of Japanese femininity, Asami is revealed to be far more dangerous than she appears and ultimately holds power, wreaking terrible vengeance on those who objectify or seek to exploit her. Contradicting both readings, Miike himself has denied that the film is meant as social criticism at all (as he says of all his films).[6]

whatever man that bitch was fucking insane, and the shit with the old dude and her burned her legs was too much, and that torture was awful. i dunno i didnt really know what to expect from the movie i never read the reviews, someone just suggested it to me, and i was hella attentive to the movie hella suspense and shit and by the end i was freaking out, lol, it shocked me for awhile almost didnt watn to really watch it at points.

i can see how if you were going for that "midnight movie" shock shit like ebert was talking about it wouldnt be too bad but if you went into it like me thinking its just some suspense movie or mystery lol

Horror movies usually suck anyway, but this isn't really a horror movie imo, it's gore porn. I've yet to see a gore porn movie that was actually scary, until I do, they do not qualify as horror imo.

This movie is brilliant!

Finally got the DVD and I must say that this is what the industry needs.

Good directing. New idea. Boundary breaking story. Good ending. But the best part is, that everybody who watches this movie will talk and think about it. And that's what a good movie does!

The two female actors were shitty. Was kind of hard to watch the first 15 minutes, but after that they weren't able to talk much anymore, which was good.
