IMO:
if u went to watch this show without knowing its a horror movie, u would have thought its some love story or something during the first half... the only tell tale signs of her being such a terror is watching her waiting for the phone call while theres a sack right beside... just watching her change to a grin is so terrifying... i think i am beginning to love miike's films... his endings are always thought-provoking... no one understand ichi the killer's ending, i dun understand full metal yakuza's scientist dick at the end, many are not sure about the last part of audition between fact or fiction... even though it shows less blood than ichi the killer, audition is really 1 sick torture film, esp the way she poke the needles... deeper deeper, deeper deeper... highly recommended for ppl who love to inflict pain, not recommended for the screamish...

by the way, this is the show where many movie-goers left the theatre before it has even finished because they were left disgusted by the sight they have seen... weak ppl, weak ppl...
