DVD review

MIIKE Takashi directs the radiant Eihi Shiina in one of the movies of the year.

Take every horror convention you know and throw it away. Takashi knows what you're thinking but he's playing a game where the rules exist only in the deepest twisted recesses of a mind long broken. Asami is the reason you should never accept a late night invitation for coffee.

Trust me Audition will blow you away and mock you gently as you stagger, stunned from the cinema.
