Koji Yakusho stars as respected samurai warrior Shinzaemon Shimada, who gathers together 13 skilled assassins to bring down the evil Lord Naritsugu (Goro Inagaki), a merciless killer who gets his kicks from brutally murdering women and children. The film ends with a 45-minute battle sequence in which the 13 assassins take on an army of 200 men, dispensing with them in a profusion of inventive and surprising ways.<br/><br/><i>Typ: Blu-ray</i>

När Takashi Miike släppte loss AUDITION i slutet av förra seklet var publiken totalt oförberedd. Från filmfestivalen i Rotterdam rapporterades om ett lämmeltåg av chockade åskådare som lämnade bion innan filmen var slut (och då missade de ändå det värsta!). Med ens hade en helt ny genre fötts, döpt av en sur kritiker till "torture porn", som ynglade av sig i extremskräck som Saw, Hostel och Miikes egen Ichi the Killer. På tidningarnas Bästa skräckfilms-listor ligger AUDITION ofta högt och bland fansen finns regissörer som Quentin Tarantino, Eli Roth och Rob Zombie.<br/><br/>AUDITION är historien om änklingen Shigeharu. För att hjälpa honom att hitta en ny hustru anordnar hans omoraliske vän, filmproducenten Yasuhisa, en fejkad audition. Bland alla vackra kvinnor faller Shigeharu för den mystiska och tystlåtna Asami, en före detta ballerina med oklart förflutet. Hennes sätt att underkasta sig Shigeharu gör honom förtjust. Men det är bara ett spel. Snart kommer Asami visa sitt rätta jag, och det är ingen vacker syn...

When senior yakuza Ozaki (Sho Aikawa) starts to behave in an increasingly peculiar manner, his superiors start getting worried, and order Ozaki's immediate underling Minami (Hideki Sone) to get rid of him. On the way to the yakuza disposal dump, Minami, nervous about the job ahead of him, hits the brakes too hard and kills Ozaki completely by accident. After he stops to find a telephone to report the incident to his boss, he returns to the car to find that Ozaki's body has vanished. So begins a desperate and increasingly un-hinged search that takes in a bizarre array of eccentric and deranged suburbanites, each of whom seems to reflect some weird, dark aspect of Minami's complex and troubled personality.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>
