A rich and mysterious American man named Christopher, played by Billy Drago, ventures to Japan in order to find his lost love, Komomo. He eventually learns that Komomo was taken to a brothel called Dreamland and hires a young, English-speaking prostitute named Yuuko to help him find her.

Throughout their journey, Yuuko tells Christopher a haunting story about her former lover and master, played by Tadanobu Asano. The story recounts how her lover transformed from a kind and gentle man into a cruel and sadistic one.

As they continue their search, Christopher begins to experience strange visions and inexplicable horrors, causing him to question everything he thought he knew about his love and Japan itself. The episode takes dark and twisted turns as it delves into themes such as sadomasochism, torture, and infanticide.

Directed by Takashi Miike, "Imprint" is a disturbing and graphic installment of Masters of Horror. Miike masterfully integrates elements of Japanese horror and folklore into a compelling story, featuring strong performances from Asano and Drago.

The episode also marks a departure from the typical structure of Masters of Horror, featuring a more linear narrative and a slower pace than previous episodes. However, the intensity of the violence and disturbing subject matter is not for the faint of heart.

Ultimately, "Imprint" offers a dark and haunting exploration of the human psyche and the lengths people will go to for love and acceptance. With its rich storytelling and stunning cinematography, it remains a standout episode in the Masters of Horror series.
