Editorial Review - Description
A police investigation into the murder of high school student Tomie Kawakami (Miho Kanno) uncovers a history of mysterious deaths of girls with the same name going back to the 1860s. Detective Harada (Tomoro Taguchi) tracks down a classmate of Tomie named Izumisawa Tsukiko (Mami Nakamura), an art student who is being treated for amnesia. She has no memory of the 3 month period around Tomie?s death, and is starting to suspect the cause might be supernatural. Meanwhile, Tsukiko?s new neighbor, her former high school teacher, Yamamoto Tanabe (Kenji Mizuhashi) is rearing a peculiar baby-like creature. Over the span of a few weeks it grows into a beautiful teenaged girl with orange eyes and responding to the name Tomie Kawakami. And Tomie will not die.
Wow! The Best Tomie out there!
A Customer Review by kornblindskater
My favorite Tomie! I really do love this one. The plot alone is great. And it's different. A loner girl befriends Tomie. You can tell how that's going to end up. Eww gross, if you've seen this movie, Tomie in baby larva form, eww. gross. But it's defiantly the best Tomie out there so far! Check it out!
Classic Japanese horror film
A Customer Review by fennis2000
Tomie is a slow, moody adaptation of a popular Japanese horror manga. Rather than directly ape the comics, the director took the themes he found most interesting (jealousy, obsession, competiveness between women) and went with them. He purposely leaves things vague, mysterious and unexplained.. letting our imagination go to work. He succeeds in creating an atmosphere of dread and hopelessness I found quite chilling.
The cast is excellent, especially Tsukiko, Tomie and the female doctor... this film has a gritty indie-film look and feel that works for it.
If you are looking for fast action, senseless violence and endless explanations... this isn't the film for you. But for the intelligent and open-minded film lover, there is much to admire here.
