Plot – Spoilers:
Shigeharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi) is a widower who is getting old and feeling the effects of loneliness as his teenage son appears to be moving on with his life. He confides in his friend Yoshikawa (Jun Kunimura) who is well known in the film industry. Yoshikawa arranges a bizarre audition wherein young beautiful women are called up ostensibly for a movie part, but the actual purpose of the audition is to find Aoyama a life partner. Aoyama goes along with the plan and is soon smitten by a very graceful and submissive looking Asami Yamazaki (Eihi Shiina).
Yoshikawa is a bit suspicious of her because her references don’t appear to check out, but by now, Aoyama is too far gone in his love for the mysterious Asami. What he finds in Asami to his horrid surprise is a twisted maniacal psychopath who grew up experiencing brutality and sadism as a child and who has now morphed into a serial killer of men with an extremely sadistic penchant for torture that she has honed across her many killings.
Favorite scenes:
During the Auditions, when Aoyama first catches a glimpse of Asami, she has her back to him in a crowded room and yet soemthing about the scene conveys her poise and grace that has Aoyama absolutely smitten.
The pathetic man squirming around in the sack. He has lost all sense and dignity of a human being and has debased into an animal that only craves for survival and nourishment.
Obviously the torture scenes. They come as such a stark and shocking contrast to all the feminine grace and poise exhibited by Asami until then. Especially when she injects Aoyama with a drug that paralyzes him but leaves with the sensation of pain – brutal.
poor gang

What!? What a boring movie ughh. Do yourself a favor and fast forward it to only 18 min left. Even that is boring. Why such a high rating!! Great movie before you want to have a snore fest. Yawnnnnn!!
come on guys, don’t whine like a donkey, only with network problems I live in the countryside but there are no problems complaining about the internet network
It’s no surprise that I find Takashi Miike a paradigmatic film director, film producer, and screenwriter. He has directed over one hundred theatrical, video, and television productions, His international breakthrough came with Audition (1999), and since then he has had an ever-expanding cult following in the west. An accomplished, illustrative, and prolific director, Miike has directed films known for their explicit and taboo representations of violence and sex.
akashi Miike (三池 崇史, Miike Takashi, born August 24, 1960) is a Japanese film director, film producer and screenwriter. He has directed over one hundred theatrical, video, and television productions since his debut in 1991. His films run through a variety of different genres, and range from violent and bizarre to dramatic and family-friendly movies. He is a controversial figure in the contemporary Japanese cinema industry, with several of his films being criticised for their extreme graphic violence. Some of his best known films are Audition, Ichi the Killer, Gozu, One Missed Call, the Dead or Alive trilogy, and various remakes: Graveyard of Honor, Hara-kiri and 13 Assassins. Early life Miike was born in Yao, Osaka Prefecture, to a Nikkei family originally from the Kumamoto Prefecture, on the island of Kyushu. During World War II, his grandfather was stationed in China and Korea, and his father was born in Seoul in today’s South Korea. His father worked as a welder and his mother as a seamstress.[1] Although he claimed to have attended classes only rarely, he graduated from Yokohama Vocational School of Broadcast and Film (Yokohama Hōsō Eiga Senmon Gakkō) under the guidance of renowned filmmaker Shohei Imamura, the founder and Dean of that institution.[2] Career Miike’s first films were television productions, but he also began directing several direct-to-video V-Cinema releases. Miike still directs V-Cinema productions intermittently due to the creative freedom afforded by the less stringent censorship of the medium and the riskier content that the producers will allow.… Read more »

Yeah!
Hello EUM community <3 We missed u alot. After a long hiatus, the pussybitch lads are back and stronger than ever. We even had a gril watching this movie with us 2nite, can u believe? Anyways, feelings about the movie were mixed. Favorite scene was the kick down the stairs, that was really badass. And when the gril tried to spray the kid with 1 million perfume, that was very lol. Alright, thats enough for today, hope u enjoyed this review. Leave a comment below.
XOXO
– pussybitch lads + 1 gril
This one of my all time favourites
the most feminist movie I’ve seen by far, I personally see it as the uncovering of women’ traumas from relationships. beautiful shots filled with loneliness that we all inherit from childhood.
thank you, effedup, for the ability to find more movies like this <з
what.
can u elaborate on this
tried watching this with my mom
she made it to an hour and a half
why would your mom to watch this ????
I really hated this, but I’ve learned to not flinch at things like this anymore.
I’m sorry, this is SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL, I FEEL ENLIGHTENED! SORRY FOR CALLING YOU FUCKED UP CAUSE IM EVEN FUCKEDER
how is this beautiful…????
Lol you fucked up motherfuckers, all fucked in the head, what are you ven doing with your stupid meaningless life, get some help if you watch this fucked up stuff, my god!
Go back to watching Bambi you fucking loser. This movie is art, you are just too fucking stupid to understand. Or actually, stop watching movies and finish highschool you retard
I am 100% sure that almost all Americans who watch this movie will be very sad about the dog.
thank you for sharing!! I enjoys every movie I watch in this site
fucking dog killer saddest part really
The only thing f’d up about this movie is that I sat through this dog shit…..
thanks for uploading, although i watched the movie on another site and didn’t enjoy it, much appreciated still 🙂
Love, love, love this site! Great content and I have minimal problems with the streaming. So keep it up and thank you!!
Love your website, but wanted to comment re- buffering on laptops versus desktops.
I find that the desktop works best and the movies play on first click. On my Ipad I have to buggerise around 3-4 times before it starts to play. I go from option 1 – nothing, then 2 which takes me to some weird unrelated site and so on. Eventually it plays but not before I’ve wasted 5-10 minutes going backwards and forwards. I prefer it via my desktop as it works first time round. Why? I don’t know. If anyone knows please inform us. Oh and for some reason trying to watch it on TV via the HDMI connection no longer works. It did last week. BUt this week? Nada. Zilch. Blank screen. Thanks.
Will be making some changes to Option 1 soon that should hopefully sort all this out.
I also had issue with the HDMI/flat screen connection. To solve it, shut everything down, disconnect the HDMI cable, reboot, plug in HDMI, boot TV, hit the windows + P keys and select “projector only” option. Problem solved. Hope this helps you.
No problems here and I use my phone and cast to tv via Chromecast
Sad movie where nobody wins. He genuinely loves this girl for her mature outlook on life but she’s too caught up in revenge to see his true intentions.
Might have been more intriguing if the son never came home to stop her and right on his last breath Aoyama says “Asami, I loved you.” It could open the possibility for a redemption story. Still a good watch though.
I agree it´s sad but he made an audtion! isnpt that sick? Am I the only one one who undestrood that this guy and his friend were the real monsters?
Really a wonderful site. I have watched the Audition movie from your site only because of the resolution and continuous streaming without any interruption. As the first man said, I found your website only when I am searching google to try this movie for seeing through online with english subtitles. Kudos to everyone who are maintaining this website. Keep it up. I request you to add more such award won movies.
I thought this was a very good movie and I can’t understand the vitreole of that Bill guy. This is a Awsome site, occasionally the movies stop and buffer. I just go back thirty seconds, play for 5 seconds, then go forward 30 seconds. This nearly always resolves the problem and I am just streaming to my telly from my iPad. As I said Awsome site, I would like to suggest a star rating system for each movie, or maybe bloody knives instead of stars,lol. I really love the site and thankyou?
I just pause the film, go get myself a snack and a beverage, maybe hit the bathroom, then come back and watch uninterrupted. But, of us just aren’t very bright *ahem…bill, bill, bill……*
…”SOME of us…” and some of us need to change the battery in our keyboards….
my internet is slow, is there a way I can watch this/these movies in a lower quality?
Edit: The new player defaults to lower res for some of the High res movies.
We’ve reduced the file sizes to well under 1 GB for all movies without compromising on quality much.
Right now, there’s no way unfortunately, to watch in reduced quality but we’ll try and add a new player maybe in a month or so with a lower quality option.
vpn will solve most problems, or is that a fat brown nerd secret?
This is the worst site ever. I have a top of the line laptop, and great internet but this fuck site just buffers. Its not worth the visit make sure your fucking content work stupid bitch
:)) Calm down bud. There are two options available. Try the other if one is being a nag
ignore dick heads , they always need something to suck on !
Thanks for uploading this movie with subtitle
I for one am grateful for all that you do on this site ,thank you x✊
Hilarious. You’re on a site that’s free with rare movies – that you could easily buy then upload yourself! – and you’ll take this attitude? Be more considerate to someone who is doing the horror community a favor.
I have a top of the line laptop and am using a VPN and it works just fine. Maybe it’s not as good as you thought it was? 🙂
Thanks admin. I saw this around the time it came out and wanted a nostalgia trip. It occasionally stutters/buffers, but it’s free and it doesn’t take that much time up. Appreciate your dedication to offering this stuff to us!
lol top of the line laptop and still going for free content XD what a waste of space… thanks for uploading admin
You live in a cave, it seems..
Way to be considerate to someone who puts a lot of time and effort to give cheapskates like you and me free content.
I suppose the other alternative is to stop being a whiny little bitch and just buy or rent movies if your perfect laptop keeps failing you.
shut up bill
lol xD
✊lol
Only buffoons would complain when getting something for free. You must live in sh!@hole redneck country.
I literally watch movies on this site on my phone, never had a problem.
Oh oh, looks like somebody hasn’t gotten laid in a very very very very long time. :'( cry baby!
Hahahahahaaaa!!!! Your laptop sucks, you ignorant little twit. What it is is they saw you coming and said “Let’s sel this idiot a peice of shit and tell him it… top-of-the-line. Then, they LOL’d at you as you walked out of the store, you repugnant little anal polyp. Now go back to masturbating.
$50 says this POS is a Jew….
@Bill fuck you and your whiny complaints, no one likes a choosey beggar, and no one likes you.
@Dtr. Lecter, fuck you and your “jew” comment. You add nothing to the point, and only make things worse by chiming in with your racism.
Why are you @’ing people mate, this isn’t Twitter…
Pipe down, Hiram. Go put on your Yamaka, spin your dradle, eat some latkas, and screw anyone you can out of a dime, fecal-face.
Fuck Kikes and Fuck Niggers
aww u a little homo gay very cute
Let me guess
No friends, 12 years old, and too much time on your hands.
Well I.live in a village in England where I’m now into my 3rd broadband provider in 4 yrs because the connection is crap! I can honestly tell you that not once have I had a problem accessing this site and there are always several options for streaming to try .I don’t watch this through an app because my operating system doesn’t support it..try both options or just watching without using the app like I do.
stfu if you dont like it go somewhere else asshat
Uh, Kill..Bill?
THERES ALWAYS OTHER FREE MOVIE SITES YOU DUMB COCKSUCKER
Congratulations, your top of the line laptop and Internet work worse than my phone on work wifi.
Buy or rent movies if you can afford ‘top of the line’ laptop you can sure afford that you loser fuck
Na you’re just a cunt.
This movie helped me find this website so, thanks! It starts with a very slow and winding build up and eventually ends in the iconic and chaotic last couple of minutes. I can tell this movie has a lot of symbology and replay value, but my socks were not completely blown off on my first viewing. It is still an excellent movie and a must watch, just the first impression didn’t have me starstruck.
First Impression: 7.4
