Audition is a 1999 horror film directed by Takashi Miike and based on a novel by Ryu Murakami. The film follows widower Shigharu (Ryo Ishibashi), who finds himself lonely since the death of his wife. After his son suggests he find a new love, Shigharu agrees and stages a fake acting audition with the help of his friend in order to find a new wife. Upon meeting the beautiful and mysterious Asami, Shigharu is lovestruck, and Asami seems interested as well. However, it turns out it's not his love she's interested in.

Audition has some pretty good storytelling and a slow burning plot, but what makes this film worthy of this list is one scene in particular. Those who have seen the film are probably already cringing in discomfort. The scene is devastatingly gruesome. Critics have claimed that Audition as a whole is an authentically disturbing, but many were tempted to quit watching during the last thirty minutes of the film. Thinking about giving it a shot? Don't do so on a full stomach.
