Audition 18
One of the most disturbing films of all time. A widower holds auditions to find a new wife and quickly becomes enchanted by the mysterious Asami. As he uncovers the secrets of her past he becomes increasingly concerned that Asami may not be all she seems. A heart-stoppingly grisly finale gives this film its well-deserved place in the horror hall of fame.
With an introduction from Dr. Aimee Richmond of the University of Sheffield.
