10 Horror Films Too Scary To Finish

2. Audition

Infamous for its violent undertones, Audition is the nasty little Japanese horror film that has become a fan favourite since its release. When widower Aoyama decides to start dating again, he sets up a fake production with his friend to be able to screen potential women for dates, thinking they're going for a film part. A mysterious, withdrawn woman named Asami attends, and Aoyama becomes interested - blossoming a budding relationship between the pair.

It all sounds lovely and nice right? Wrong. Asami has a dark past that is coming crashing into Aoyama's present, and the results are completely terrifying. There's a reason this film inspired films such as Hostel and Saw, and coined the term torture porn. With distinctly human performances, horrible gory sequences, and a narrative that truly leads you down the garden path, maybe Audition is the one film you SHOULDN'T finish.
