Audition Review
It’s hard to say that this is a horror film, when it really has little to-no horror in it since the first half of the film is like a comedy-romance. Either way, I thought the film was good, but I was left with many questions towards the end. The movie is pretty much about this lonely man who decides that it’s time to remarry. He sets out to find a new woman when a friend holds an audition for a film they’re working on. The man meets a girl and everything seems perfect, until the truth behind her slowly unravels to the shocking conclusion.
The ending of the film is very shocking indeed. It was confusing and looked incredibly painful. It’s hard to explain it really without giving anything away, but let’s just say it’ll stick in your mind. Half the movie is just about the lonely man and a woman he showed a liking to at the audition. It shows how he gradually begins to fall in love with her. This movie is very slow, but it somehow kinda keeps you hooked. I knew something was gonna happen with the girl at the end and that’s what kept me watching.
The acting in this film is excellent and very believable. The directing was also very well done. I think I was expecting too much from this movie and was a bit let down by the end result. Not by much though. This was more of a story and performance-driven movie. It wasn’t a slash’em up horror film, and it had a very good plot. My one real complaint, aside from it being slow and long, was the confusing ending. It just shows a bunch of stuff that just doesn’t make sense. I dunno, maybe I need to watch it again. Anyway, that’s really the only reason why I gave the film a 6-rating.
Good film, but not something you’d really expect. More of an actor-driven movie with a very good plot that leads to a whacked out ending. Not really recommended unless you don’t mind waiting an hour for the horror to start. Might be a good film for all you plot lovers though.
