4. Audition
Trending
Audition is presented under the guise of a seemingly romantic story at the outset but explodes in the middle as a psychological horror. The film mocks societal expectations regarding love and the depths one could stoop to achieve emotional bonding with others. Being masterful at holding the audience's tension and treading the pace from romantic to horror, it becomes more and more disturbing when that happens. The plot twists to a shocking climax and makes an essential statement about vulnerability, trust, and dark undercurrents of repressed desires that simmer beneath the surface.
