What begins as a quiet romance morphs into one of the most shocking horror films ever made. Takashi Miike lulls you into comfort before pulling the rug out violently. Eihi Shiina is unforgettable. “Kiri kiri kiri” will haunt your dreams. A slow burn with a scalding payoff.

Audition is a masterclass in tonal whiplash. Miike crafts a delicate love story that curdles into grotesque horror. It’s a film about expectations—of women, of genre, of safety—and how easily they can be shattered. Elegant, eerie, and utterly devastating.
