I still have nightmares about Audition. Creepy!!!

I really like this blog! Great suggestions-I can't wait to watch these!

I've not seen Requiem, but I have an interesting side note to add. 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' is also loosely based on the same true story. I would imagine 'Requiem' to be more faithful than the Hollywood adaptation.
