There’s nothing we like more over at Show Me The Movies! towers than a classic horror movie. Thrillers, slashers, zombies, gore, splatter, torture, supernatural, vampires, werewolves…SWEARWOLVES! It’s all good in our hood. So, to celebrate Halloween we are doing our own daily countdown of the top 30 horror movies. Starting with Takashi Miike’s AUDITION.
Why not get involved and list your choices in the spooooooky comments section below?
30. AUDITION
Director: Takashi Miike
Cast: Ryo Ishibashi, Eihi Shiina, Tetsu Sawaki
The Lowdown
AUDITION doesn’t start like your typical horror movie and you’d be forgiven for initially thinking a jolly rom-com may be on the cards. Oh how wrong you could be…The story sees a grieving widower (Ryo Ishibashi) who, after years of being faithful to his deceased wife, decides to hold a fake audition for a movie in order to find a new partner. He becomes fixated on the beautiful Asami but after a few cozy dates events take a rather ‘sinister’ turn…
Most gruesome scene

REC, The Orphanage, The Exorcist and The Omen have to feature… not to mention The Shining of course!
