IMPRINT. by Takashi Miike. R1 USA DVD from Anchoy Bay in Fall 2006.

Generally, hopefully at least, all those that post at Twitch should know (and do know, except for slight slips perhaps) better than to do companies promotional work 'for them' by writing about things were not very close to at least 100% happy about discussing, recommending and giving space or time to. In an attempt to simply post about the announcement that 'Imprint' will hit DVD (as expected) in an uncut form (as expected) sometime this year (as expected), and that Takashi Miike didn't compromise (too far, as expected) and wasn't shocked that the episode was dropped (he says, see below, as expected), well : here it is, a post that confirms that Anchor Bay are making a simple announcement that confirms they will release the film and instead of them hyping it to kingdom-come (let the forum discussions commence, they can do the hyping for them, if a few dozen peoples brief comments we're ever hype - well, only if you misunderstand the brief nature of comments resulting from people all too often typing with their two index fingers) they're simply letting us know, simply confirming it will be 'with oodles of extras' as it were, a well timed press release if you like.

Miike has been quoted as saying, "“To tell you the truth, I was not surprised to hear that IMPRINT would not air. Through the experience of directing this episode, I have discovered that while humor can have its limits, fear has no limits. I could not suppress the volume of terror that this film conveys.”. This must be the highlight of the first season of Masters of Horror then, generally now regarded as a little lacklustre to say the least, with a couple of episodes being "pretty good" as they say. Plenty of other things to be buying and watching in the meantime, just keep an eye out here for the final date, artwork and specs, because I like Takashi Miike and I want to see more of his work on DVD.
