If you loved Audition, try Lesson of the Evil
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Lesson of the Evil has roughly 7.5× fewer votes than Audition — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Takashi Miike, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Audition, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Lesson of the Evil is
Japan. Autumn. A single, buzzing cicada. Mr. Hasumi, everyone's favorite teacher, smiles, always smiling, as he calmly poisons and massacres his high school students. Miike's exercise in blood-spray nihilism plays like an amped-up J-horror riff on *The Bad Seed*.
