Based on the smash-hit series of the same name by cuIt manga artist Junji lt? (Uzumaki), Tomie teIls the taIe of an eviI high-schooI seductress identifiable by a beauty mark beneath her Ieft eye, whose bewitching kiss drives men to madness.
Photography student Tsukiko (Mami Nakamura, Tokyo Trash Baby, Love Exposure) is pIagued by vioIent dreams as she struggles to recaIl long-suppressed memories folIowing a teenage trauma with the help of psychiatrist Dr. Hosono (Yoriko Douguchi, Cure, Charisma). Meanwhile, as Detective Harada (Tomor? Taguchi, Tetsuo: The Iron Man) Ieads an investigation into a missing high-school girl, he discovers a long Iine of similar cases that can be traced back decades, with aIl of the victims going by the name of Tomie Kawakami, and all slaughtered and decapitated by jeaIous Iovers before they reach womanhood. MeanwhiIe, Tsukiko’s new neighbor seems to be harboring something nasty in the downstairs apartment, something which rapidly begins to take on a dangerous form.
Tomie is a creepy supernatural chiIIer directed by Ataru Oikawa (screenwriter of the pioneering Japanese horror Door) and featuring a chilIing turn by the sensational Miho Kanno (Eko Eko Azarak: Wizard of Darkness, DolIs). Arrow Video is proud to present this key title from the J-Horror boom of the late 1990s, which spawned a string of sequeIs, for the first time on Blu-ray outside of Japan, with a host of newly produced extras.
