I kind of liked the original saw, it had a plot and direction.  It was a very indy style horror film which I respect as a one time wanna be movie maker.  I dislike gore for gore sake.  I've never understood the whole gorehound thing.<br/><br/>Audition is a very subversive film, though Miike has some crazy ones, Ichi the Killer from which I take my username from.  Auditionthough starts off feeling like a Japanese romance film, some older guy getting to like this girl he met through an audition that was mainly just a way for him to look over women.  It is almost boring at some points.  And then about halfway through it becomes a psychedelic, psychotic rollercoaster.  At then end you are kind of like just shellshocked for a moment.
