Okay time for another reccomendation of the week.

"Audition"

This is a Japanese horror film that came out a few years ago. Now, Hollywood would have us believe that every Japanese horror film is just another "Ring or Grudge" knock off. But this is a horror movie. This movie will make you fear the female gender. If you're married, you'll want a divorce. If your single...well you'll just be thankful for having a high speed internet connection.

Here's a brief synopsis (minus any spoilers)

A lonely Japanese widower whose son is planning to move out of the house soon expresses his sadness to a friend and fellow film producer, who becomes inspired to hold an audition for a non-existent film so that the widower can select a new potential bride from the resulting audition pool. The widower ultimately becomes enamored with and fascinated by one particular young woman...but first impressions can often be horribly wrong....

Now the beautiful thing about this movie is that the first half of it is a standard drama that lulls you into a false sense of security. But it's all crazy from there. The last half hour alone will have you squirming in your seat wishing your mommy will come save you. It shows that Japanese cinema is capable of creating a kind of horror film that Hollywood would never dare touch. It's not uber-gory per se'. It's just truly disturbing in a very primal way.

This movie is tore up from the floor up.
