| This Category III horror effort makes little sense but sees Ivan Lai step into another league as a director who can push the visuals up to a pleasing degree (and steal defining images from other horror movies smoothly). The Imp looks surprisingly slick which is a plus because obviously much of the plot in here is just an excuse for the sex scenes to add onto the running time. Say what you want about Ivan Lai though, but he's one of the few that made Cat III erotica erotic when it was supposed to and disgusted when that was called for. The Imp has much of both, in particular quite a grim final reel. While Diana Pang has little to offer in terms of acting, she was one of the most stunning women to appear in Cat III movies such as this and coupled with the fairly chilling atmosphere, The Imp does ok. |
