Audition
Controversial Japanese director Takashi Miike creates this unnerving horror film about a widowed TV producer auditioning prospective wives. In his search, one candidate particularly stands out, a lovely ex-ballerina dressed in white. The widower cannot believe his good fortune, until he starts looking more closely at his potential bride-to-be: her autobiographical details don’t quite check out, she has a number of ugly scars on her legs, and he learns that people in her life have a habit of disappearing. When he discovers a man trussed up in her living room with his tongue and feet lopped off, he concludes that she is perhaps not the woman of his dreams. Audition was screened at the 1999 Vancouver Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
Directed by Takashi Miike,115min, 1999, Japan, 35mm.

Ju-On: The Grudge
By Takashi Shimizu is one of the most popular and well-known J-horror films, and for good reason. A story of revenge that leaves its viewers paralyzed in fear, JU-ON chronicles the goings-on in a haunted house unlike any you’ve ever seen.

Kairo (Pulse)
By Kiyoshi Kurosawa thrusts you into a moody, desolate and apocalyptic Tokyo to tell one of the most haunting tales of technology and the supernatural ever told. Dreamlike and unsettling, KAIRO will keep you on edge as it chronicles the breakdown of its characters at the hands of malevolent forces.

Noriko's DInner Table
By Sion Sono offers up a dark vision of Japanese society, replete with suicide, separation and stabbings on the streets of Shinjuku. NORIKO’s story weaves through the events of Sono’s earlier film, J-horror favorite SUICIDE CLUB, but you’ll enjoy this epic five-chapter masterpiece regardless of whether you’re a die-hard Sono fan or a J-horror virgin.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man
By Shinya Tsukamoto was on the vanguard of Japanese horror in 1989, a brain-melting 67 minute live-action blast of Lynchian surreality and insane robotic transmutation. Just as badass as it sounds, TETSUO mixes grainy black and white photography and a killer soundtrack into one truly unique film. Playing Sun/Mon/Wed.
