Imprint Asia Bundle Pack - October 2026

Full Contact (1992) - 4K UHD + Blu-ray SteelBook + Hardcover Booklet in Limited Edition Hardbox - Imprint Asia #97

Released the same year as Hard Boiled, and also starring Chow Yun-Fat, Full Contact is a blistering revenge-driven action flick from the golden age of Hong Kong cinema. Directed by Ringo Lam (City On Fire, Prison On Fire), this was the final of five films from hot-shot combo Lam and Yun-Fat, packed with audacious sequences that push action cinema to its limits.

Jeff, a nightclub bouncer, agrees to join a weapons heist to help his friend Sam clear a gambling debt. When the job is sabotaged from within and Jeff is left for dead, he returns to Hong Kong with one thing on his mind: revenge against the treacherous, flamboyantly unhinged crime lord known as Judge. What follows is a relentlessly propulsive tale of betrayal, loyalty, and violence, set to a thunderous heavy metal soundtrack.

Meticulously restored from the original 35mm negative and presented on 4K UHD and Blu-ray alongside hours of Special Features, this exclusive release features a SteelBook and a 48-page Hardcover Booklet with production stills and brand NEW essays from Calum Waddell and Travis Woods, all housed in a Lid Hardbox.

1500 copies only.

The Insect Woman (1963) - 4K UHD + Blu-ray Limited Edition Hardbox + Hardcover Booklet - Imprint Asia #95

Worldwide first on 4K UHD!

A landmark of the Japanese New Wave and one of the defining works of two-time Palme dÓr winning director Shōhei Imamura, The Insect Woman is a sweeping, unsparing portrait of a woman's life across four turbulent decades of Japanese history.

Born in poverty in rural Japan in 1918, Tomé spends her life trying to escape the constraints of class, circumstance, and the men who exploit her, moving through factory work, domestic servitude, and eventually the sex trade.

Sachiko Hidari (A Fugitive from the Past, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters) gives a career-defining, heroic performance filled with extraordinary physicality, in a towering, devastating work of humanist cinema that is perfectly befitting of Shōhei Imamura’s key philosophy - to make “messy, really human, unsettling films."

Includes a 60-page Hardcover Booklet featuring original production stills and an essay by Gabriel Massó.

1500 copies only.

The Origins Of J-Horror (1991 - 2023) - Blu-ray Limited Edition Hardbox - Imprint Asia #100 - 105

Before Sadako crawled out of the well, before the Grudge took hold, before a missed call, sinister auditions, and leaking dark water… something was stirring in Japan: horror fans devoured straight-to-video releases, late-night television, and low-budget genre films that almost no one outside the country had seen. This special collection gathers the films and documents that laid the groundwork for one of the most influential movements in cinema history.

A culmination of years of effort, the centrepiece of this collection is 2023 feature documentary The J-Horror Virus, the work of frequent Imprint collaborators and Japanese cinema experts Sarah Appleton and Jasper Sharp. Making its worldwide Blu-ray debut in this set, the film charts the origins of J-Horror and incorporates interviews with filmmakers and experts to create a truly definitive picture of this unique sub-genre.

Alongside the documentary, dive into the disturbing films that defined J-Horror, each scavenged from the highest quality possible sources available and faithfully presented according to their native lo-fi intentions, all coming to Blu-ray for the first time worldwide: 

• Jaganrei: Psychic Vision (1989)


• Scary True Stories: Ten Haunting Tales from the Japanese Underground (1991)


• A Haunted School (1996)


• Don't Look Up (1996)


• Kokkuri (1997)

Alongside hours of brand NEW and exclusive Special Features, the set includes a 100-page Hardcover Booklet with brand NEW essays by Erica Shultz, Camille Zaurin, Tom Mes, Amber T, and Sarah Appleton, all housed in a Limited Edition 6-disc Hardbox, strictly limited to 1500 copies only.
