Seamus Smith is a rabid fan of horror films, foreign and domestic. When he isn’t writing, or busy planning an evil world take over, he can be found teaching English to his middle school minions in Philadelphia. In the zombie apocalypse, he would prefer to be Lord of the Dead, rather than a member of the living.
Viewed by many as Miike’s masterpiece, Audition is the first of his films to earn significant notoriety among Western horror fans, and it is, in many ways, a perfect showcase for the seasoned director’s numerous talents.
