Hell hath no fury like a vengeful Japanese schoolgirl with multiple heads - welcome to the bizarre world of Tomie: Unlimited…
While having her photograph taken by her timid sister Tsukiko, the beautiful and popular Tomie is killed in a tragic accident. One year later, on the occasion of the anniversary of her death, Tomie miraculously appears at the door of the family home, seemingly back from the dead. It soon becomes clear, however, that something is very, very wrong, and Tsukiko begins to suspect that her sister may not be the girl she used to be…
Machine Girl/Robogeisha director Noboru Iguchi succeeds in performing a double-resurrection here, injecting new life into both the Tomie franchise (this is technically the ninth film based on the seminal manga by Junji Ito) and the ailing J-Horror genre as a whole. By combining classic genre traits with his own twisted and unique style, Iguchi has paved the way for Tomie to live once more…
