Summary

A widowed Tokyo businessman, encouraged by a film-producer friend, stages a fake movie audition to meet prospective new wives. He becomes captivated by a quiet, graceful former ballerina whose past does not quite add up, and his romantic pursuit slowly curdles into something far darker. Takashi Miike's notorious slow-burn shifts from melancholy romance into one of J-horror's most harrowing finales.

Audition (1999) is a film IMDb files under the drama, horror and mystery genres.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 4,171 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s films, not against the whole corpus. 402 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 411 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
