MoH: Imprint (2006)
A story of demons and whores. A strange folk tale of cruelty and punishment. Twisted desires and betrayal such that mocks your sensibilities. This film was very odd indeed. On a quick side note, this one was deemed too graphic to air (quite a feat to be too graphic for late night Showtime). It kept me captivated throughout. I'm not sure if I would say it was "good", but it was interesting. It wasn't realistic though, it was more like the characters in a medieval morality tale or something. I liked it.

I'm not surprised at all that this was too graphic to air. Miike is famous for that. He gets uncomfortable quite a bit in the lines he's willing to blur between horror/torture and porn. I'm not the biggest fan of his films. I think they are to Asian horror cinema what the Saw/Hostel franchises are to American cinema and I'm not really cool with that. Still.. it's no Ichi the Killer.
