Masters of Horror: Imprint (2006)
IMDB: Masters of Horror: Imprint (2006)
Set in the mid 1800s, Christopher (Billy Drago) is a young American journalist who ventures to Japan to search for the Japanese prostitute he loved and abandoned years earlier. But when he ventures to an island off the coast, he sees that human demons and whores rule the land where a deformed courtesan awaits his arrival leading to a tale of extreme cruelty and perverse vengeance.
===============================================
Billy Drago does a decent job in this otherwise way over-the-top (even for Miike) horror film. I would posit that the reason that Showtime decided not to show this episode in the Masters of Horror series was the 'jungle abortionist' theme - throwing embryos in the river - rather than any reasons based on extreme gore or violence.
