"For me, 'Audition' (1999) is not horror. At least, there is no monster, it's not supernatural. It's a story about a girl who has just slightly strange emotions, so it's not impossible to understand her." --- Takashi Miike Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: 'Audition' (1999) is one of your very few horror films, one could say. Yet your television work is mainly in the horror genre, why this difference? Miike: For me, 'Audition' (1999) is not horror. At least, there is no monster, it's not supernatural. It's a story about a girl who has just slightly strange emotions, so it's not impossible to understand her. She just wants the person she loves to stay by her side. She doesn't commit a big crime, she just cuts the guy's foot off. But when I read the novel, I was really scared. I felt it was so realistic. Between the two characters there is no conflict. They met briefly at the audition, but such really small incidents can change a person's life completely. Such kinds of things I enjoy putting on film. I accentuated the aspect of horror a bit more. In horror films, we think the horrific element is a special thing that doesn't exist in real life and that's why we can enjoy it. But there are terrifying things in life too and they are all made by human beings. Everybody has those things inside themselves. So by filming human beings, it naturally becomes a horror movie." (Takashi Miike's interview with Kuriko Sato & Tom Mes, Midnight Eye, 2001)
