Rated Audition 9/10

In some ways I wish I hadn't watched this. Not because it was bad (it wasn't), but because it would save me needing about three gallons of mind bleach. There's some unpleasantness --- it certainly earns its horror credentials --- but there's a lot of cleverness in how it's done. It has depth. You can go _kiri, kiri, kiri_.

It feels like every time you get a handle on how the film will play out, Takashi Miike pulls the rug out from under you. And the frequency of those rug pulls just goes up and up until you can barely tell what's rug and what's not.
