If you loved Imprint, try Lesson of the Evil
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Takashi Miike, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Imprint, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Lesson of the Evil is
Japan. Autumn. A single, buzzing cicada. Mr. Hasumi, everyone's favorite teacher, smiles, always smiling, as he calmly poisons and massacres his high school students. Miike's exercise in blood-spray nihilism plays like an amped-up J-horror riff on *The Bad Seed*.
