Audition dir. Takashi Miike Redo Review

 
This movie took me about 4 days to complete because I couldn't keep my attention towards it for very long. Thirst was an awesome shot movie with interesting angles and scenes. Now seeing this film, I was bored within the first 20 minutes. Scenes lasted too long with prolonged pauses and flashbacks. Very little dialogue was used in the film. Nothing is wrong with the lack of speaking in a movie but along with boring scenes made the film dull and repetitive.

I also never felt engaged or connected with other characters who were introduced. I would have preferred it if I received more background information about them. When the audience develops an emotional attachment to the plot and introduction of people, it makes for a strong connection that keeps viewers interested. Most mystery genres can be slow paced and its more for observing scenery like the attitude this movie gave but as I had stated earlier it seemed that very little clues and flashbacks progressed, every scene was almost the same and rerun of already shot scenes which also added to my boredom.

Now on a positive note, this gory flick encountered grotesque twist to the movie. American horror genres can easily get boring and repetitive and this film had hit every level to make you cringe in your seat. These scenes obviously had to the most action to them because NOTHING else ever went on! There were hardly any side stories to help the viewer think more about different characters and very little to no background information was leaked to even coming close with understanding the majority of characters throughout the film.

Overall the movie did a pleasant job of creating its intentional dull and mysterious mood, gory scenes we new and unique to the genre, which will make any movie lover of this genre squirm in their seat. I would hardly classify this movie as horror and more of mystery and gore and reminded all of us to not judge a book by its cover!
