The last one in the series was a stinker. First if you want to watch this hour long piece of crap that you will never get back, make sure your either well drunk up or baked out of your tree. Do not watch it with any form of female, they would freak out at certain parts. First half of the flick was slow, terrible and the main actor was terrible. Picture a stick twig anorexic version of Clint Eastwood with gay hair. Second half was better but also took a sharp turn to F town. Fetus disposal, strong hands growing out of heads, Kimomo Siamese twin whores. Those are just some of the messed things that went on. Maybe the Asian version makes sense, but the English one clearly does not.

1.The acting is very bad... especially the "American". 2.The Camera work .. the shots are boring and cheap. 3.The Story is like it's from a cheap Horror comic book. 4.Theres nothing to think about or to remember.All in all many reviewers talk about art. You wont find any. Its really like a cheap Horror flick but more sickness in it without any sense.It is totally overrated. There is no suspense.A cheap Story played by bad Actors. I really don't understand what people are seeing in this Film. Art? stop kidding. Only because you can see some traditional Japanese costumes in it doesn't turn it into art.To call this Art is an insult. All you can get out of it is to be sickened.NO THRILL.NO SUSPENSE.BAD STORYLINE.BAD ACTING.BORING Camera-work.NO DEEPTH.So if to get sickened is all you need from a Movie? go on watch it.Don't believe this talk about art you will be very disappointed.

Pornographic, unscary, nothing of any value. I am not by any means offended by gore. I am a fan of Argento, Lucci, and the like. I have no problem with shocking scenes as long as the movie itself is entertaining or worthwhile.I found not a slice of entertainment anywhere in this film. It focuses only on the most base and deplorable aspects of human existence, and it does so for seemingly no reason. No one, not a character, nor a viewer, walks away from this film any better for the experience. The viewer isn't even rewarded with a sensical ending. I have nothing but questions, and frankly I don't care if they are ever answered.

In the Nineteenth Century, in Japan, the American journalist Christopher (Billy Drago) is traveling through the country searching Komomo (Michie), the missing love of his life that he had abandoned years ago promising to come back to her later. He arrives in a shadowy island inhabited by whores and caftans, where he has an encounter with a deformed prostitute that tells that his beloved Komomo had passed away. He drinks sake with her and later he asks the woman to tell the story of her life. The prostitute discloses a dark and cruel story about her life and the sad fate of Komomo.The macabre "Imprint" is another disturbing and brutal movie of Takashi Miike. Using magnificent camera-work and impressive make-up in an awesome atmosphere, "Imprint" approaches gruesome and gore theme like abortion, fetus, incest, torture, perversions and abuse along 63 minutes running time of pure and sick horror with many twists. I confess that I felt uncomfortable and disturbed with the sadistic sequence of the torture of Komomo. Takashi Miike really honors the title of this series, being a Master of Horror. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Marcas do Terror" ("Marks of the Terror")
