maybe what makes Miike's Imprint disturbing to most, is because it takes the truth about life -- that it is utterly mysterious and as with people, can be thoroughly cruel -- and shoves it straight into our faces. it makes us uncomfortable to be reminded of the things we struggle hard to put shields up against. it challenges our comfortable lives.
i don't see his contribution to the series as anything out of his usual horror-in-context style.
