DVD Synopsis
An American journalist in search of the love he once left behind travels to a mysterious Japanese island where the past is best left forgotten in the one installment of Showtime's Masters of Horror series that was too controversial for American television. It was long ago that Christopher (Billy Drago) met the mysterious prostitute who captured his heart, but their grim fate was forever sealed when he left the island with only a promise to return one day in the future. Unlike many of the insincere souls who promise to spirit the prostitutes away from the dark and infernal island, Christopher actually made good on his word. However, life is cheap on this bewitched island where the local brothel is the sole refuge for weary souls, and though he ultimately proved to be a rare exception to the rule, Christopher has taken far too long to fulfill his promise. Now, as he shares his woeful tale with a horribly scarred whore (Youki Kudoh) whose knowledge of his long lost love's true fate may prove more of a curse than a blessing, Christopher is about to discover that there are times when death can be the kindest release of all. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Miike's Audition is one of the greatest horror experiences ever. That being the case, I wanted to love this entry in the Masters of Horror series. I understand why it wasn't shown during the first season's run. Many scenes in the film will make you uncomfortable. The greatest problem with the film is Billy Drago's relentlessly horrible performance. All Asian actors/actresses in the film learned their English lines phonetically, not being knowing English. Drago, however, delivers his lines with such heavy-handed, ham-fisted leadenness that the non-English speaking actors/actresses are better than him! While the story itself is great, Drago ruins the production. Still, there are incredible moments from Miike. This is certainly worth viewing, but be forewarned and attempt to not let Drago's drivel distract you.
