Miike cut

[Jim Harper]

That's an exceptionally harsh judgement, both about the other directors and Showtime. Garris himself seems to have no problem with the quality of Miike's contribution, and it doesn't sound too far-fetched to suggest that Showtime felt it was too extreme.
   
  If you don't mind me asking, which are Miike's fantastic horror films?
