Netflix: 3.3 stars out of 5
IMDb: 7.4 stars out of 10
Director Shigeharu Aoyama lost his wife many years ago and he is excruciatingly lonely. Now that is son is grown, he is looking for a new bride. A friend gives him the idea to hold auditions for a fake movie in hopes of finding the right lady for him. The audition leads him to Asami, an actress with more than than love on her mind.
”Audition” (Odishon) belongs to a newer genre of horror film known as J-horror (Japanese horror). This movie, reminiscent of “The Exorcist,” utilizes classic 1970’s story telling by refusing to jump into the deep end of the action from the get go. Audition takes its time, allowing the love between the characters to develop, simultaneously creating a drawn-out creepiness. “Audition” eventually finds itself brutally writhing in a sack on the floor – needles galore. “Kiri, my friendly lovers of horror, Kiri.”
