Miike is brilliant at transforming the mundane and familiar ... into something sinister and eerie.
Patrick Z. McGavin, Chicago Tribune

A diabolically adroit piece of filmmaking that goes even further than the films of Italy's excruciatingly macabre Dario Argento.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

This brazen shocker is never less than compelling -- even when you feel compelled to shut your eyes.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

There will be many people who consider Audition an atrocity, and a few who find it a stimulating cinema experience.
