31 Days - 31 Films of the Macabre - Day 28
#28 is a mind bender to be sure. Something that will stay under your skin for a long, long time.
Audition - 1999
As the film starts up you start to ask yourself why you keep watching it since it doesn’t really seem to be going anywh… CRACK!! Ok… now you’re interested. What the fuck was that thing in the bag? Oh god! Who is she? Oh fuck….
The 1999 Japanese film by Takashi Miike (the super god of modern J-horror) is a film about a windower who has lost his wife 7 years prior to illness and prompted by his teenage son to start dating again and egged on by his film producer best friend, Aoyama decided to have an audition for a new wife. Little does he know the girl of his dreams (sigh…I’m sorry for this next statement but it fits so right and it’s so fucking corny I gag writing it) just might be something of his nightmares.
Kee ree ree ree ree ree ree.
