This movie was really really messed up. Towards the end of the movie the story lost all sense whatsoever, but that just made the movie more awesome. There are three beautiful actresses. And the mood and grossness of the movie are awesome. By the way, it is about this growing little head. If you are into weird horror or pretty Japanese actresses, I expect you would enjoy this. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

| | | | | The late-90s wave of stylishly creepy and consistently effective chillers from Japan such as Kiyoshi Kurasawa's Cure (1997), Hideo Nakata's Ring (1998) and Takashi Miike's Audition (1999) have come as quite a godsend for horror fans. Done well (which admittedly happens fairly seldom nowadays), horror is perhaps the purest and most expressionistic cinematic genre that exists in terms of its direct, almost transcendental appeal to the viewer's emotions, and also a medium which gives the director as much leeway as possible to bring his technical abilities to the fore. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

| | | | | Tomie is another so called Japanese "new wave horror"that started with "the Ring".This one is based on a manga comic and tells the story of the girl Tomie who gets killed out of jelousy and manages to take bloody revenge trough reincarnation. The movie starts promising by building up the tension very slowly and revealing the plot bit by little bit.But once the whole plot is carefully revealed with the help of flashbacks the movie speeds up to a very confusing end.As usually with Asian moviesthe camerawork and editing is nicely done but can't save the movie to give that extra boost to get to the same level as "the Ring" or "Shikoku".This movie was followed byTomie2:replay.The soundtrack was provided by the hip Escalator records from Tokyo. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
