Short Take:

Imprint (2006), Takashi Miike


The only unaired episode of Showtime's Masters of Horror anthology series. It was banned from airing due to its "disturbing" nature, however, it was included in the DVD release. I suppose that yes, this little made-for-TV movie would have been disturbing to most "normal" people. To me it was a disappointment, as it seemed as though Miike was just recycling old concepts from his earlier films. I do love a good horror anthology show, though. I have many fond memories of pretending to be asleep while my grams was watching (for example) Tales From the Crypt, or The Hitchhiker. Given this weakness, I found it hard to truly dislike Imprint.

Grade: B
