Aoyama Shigeharu (Ryo Ishibashi) is a middle aged widower, he lost his wife to an illness 7 years ago. His son (Tetsu Sawaki) urged his to remarry again. He and his friend, Yoshikawa (Jun Kunimura) held an Audition, so Aoyama could meet a girl for him to marry. In the mock audition Aoyama became interested with Asami Yamazaki, a 24 year old soft spoken woman. But though she is reserved and seems to be the ideal woman, she hides a dark secret.

The movie started real slow, I was bored cause I guess I wanted to watch this film because of the gore. But though it started like that you would understand the characters better. This is another one of those films that are really confusing that you can’t help but watch again. And the scenes were really disturbing, it was the first time I kind of felt uneasy watching a gore film.

The some of the scenes are really disturbing. There is a bit of nudity and sexual content too so please be warned.

From Wikipedia, Audition (オーディション, Ōdishon?) is a 1999 Japanese horror film directed by Takashi Miike and starring Ryo Ishibashi and Eihi Shiina. It is based on a Ryu Murakami novel of the same title. Over the years, the film has developed a cult following, particularly in the West.
