How does a woman make their revenge? By tears, cursing, or by slapping? Yes, probably these are all true and usual, but in this uniquely weird film, The Audition, made by Miike Takahashi, you will all be shocked and terrified unto what extent a woman will do just to get revenge.

It all began with an audition held by a widowed man and a director. The soul purpose of the audition for the man to find and choose his soon to be wife. And so he found an interesting candidate. Not knowing that the woman he chose to be his soon to be wife was a psycho, he brought her home. While they were sleeping, she inject him with a substance to paralyze him and began torturing him. As she was torturing him by cutting piece by piece of his body parts, she shared her unfortunate story of her life and why she became a psycho. She also shared the reason what drives her to do this and how he killed, tortured and avenge herself to her first victim, her piano instructor, who molested her. She then, one by one, using a fine string, cut his fingers, hand, feet, legs, as she was about to finish him off, his son visited him and saw what happened to his father. defending his life and his father's life, he pushed her onto the stairs and unintentionally killed her. And so the movie ended with the widowed man not having a new wife and not having his complete body parts with him.
