17. Audition (1999)
Audition starts slowly before plunging into horror that leaves viewers speechless. The scene where Asami uses piano wire to sever a man’s limbs is one of the most unsettling moments in cinema. Her quiet whispers as she performs the act make it even more chilling. The sudden shift from calm to horrifying catches viewers off guard. Its ability to build tension before delivering gruesome imagery helped establish it as one of Takashi Miike’s most iconic works.
