arrow in the head had a great review for this flick awhile back. would of forgot about it but it is playing at philly film fest. i posted before about Evil (greek zombie movie) and Evil Alien (campy comedy/horror flick) that were also playing. unfortunately, i won't be able to see any of them, plus for other cool films that i wanted to see.
oh well, nothing to bring to the thread other than arrow said it was good (his reviews almost alwyas stand up.. to genre fans atleast) and that it was playing and i really wanted to see it.
bad year for the film fest and i.

I guess I'm in the minority but I thought Audition was a pretty bad movie with a semi-cool ending..........

Might be a mild spoiler, but not really:
Though reportedly inspired by actual events in Japan, Hard Candy's real Land of the Rising Sun influence is Takashi Miike's Audition, whose gender-warfare finale is stretched to feature length and given a kiddie-porn twist...

Yeah, the
comment was a spoiler, and i'd be pissed if I hadn't already seen the movie. Fortunately, I saw it earlier tonight 
It was great, I loved it. I've never seen audition, but this film has almost no violence at all, it's really all implied stuff.
I gotta say, it's very effective.

And Audition was "inspired" by Boy Meets Girl. Almost every film has antecedents.
