Product 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.

    A truly great jHorror picture! Tomie is a killer, inspired character . . . The Fx are pretty good too, amazingly. I really liked the sequence where the fellow had a piece of Tomie in a box and she was regenerating over time: well shot sequence!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, Became A HUGE Fan! But You May Not
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2005

    Tomie is a compelling story about this "demon" girl that makes men go mad with jealousy over her. I am one of the unfortunate people who have not read the Manga comics, but watching the movie made me an instant fan. I have become a huge fan. Though not scary, this horror movie is more of a suspense and mystery movie. Not much horror at all, but it's a different story with the sequels. Everyone talks about the theme song to the movie, and I have to agree, it's one of the best theme songs for any horror movie I have ever heard, it's very memorable. It's as memorable as the theme from Halloween.

    This movie is awesome, but don't watch it if you want to see a movie that will scare your pants off, because not matter how good this movie is, it's not scary. The sequels, on the other hand, are more horror oriented and you know you're watching a horror movie. If you want a thought provoking, intelligent movie, this is for you. Unfortunately, because the people who made the movie assume you have read the comics, you will walk away from the movie confused at some parts. It's a 100% guarantee that if you haven't read the comics, you will have some confusion. The movie asks so many questions, but gives so few answers. Despite the confusion, the movie still comes off as a great movie. This is for anyone who loves Japanese movies. If you're like me, you will become an instant fan of the film series. I love it!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Bag lady
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2012

    An odd movie, from the description provided I was expecting a nifty little horror movie. What I watched was anything but a horror movie. In fact, it barely registered as supernatural. Yes, a head was involved, carried in a grocery bag, but that alone wasn't enough to provide any thrills or chills. The head soon became a girl, the girl became a pest, and a few people died off-screen. It was all pretty ho-hum. Things were suggested, not shown. I suppose you could say it was dark and moody, but that was due to poor lighting conditions rather than an active attempt to create a purposeful atmosphere. As a menacing demon, all this weird girl did was giggle a lot and tease people. She seemed pretty average as ancient teens go, so I'm not quite certain where the danger was supposed to come into play. She yapped and waggled a bug in a girl's face, hardly the stuff of nightmares. In fact, when her face was finally revealed, it proved to be unflatteringly normal. I was not impressed, frightened, or moved to order any of the other movies in this series.
    Instantly forgettable.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating tale of a demon in the guise of a schoolgirl; leaves many questions unanswered
    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2010
    Tomie is a schoolgirl who has the good fortune to be killed, over and over again. Why good fortune? Because she's really a demon in disguise, and with each death she multiplies and sends men to Hell. This first installment in the Tomie series tells of Tomie and Tsukiko, best friends at school until something happens that leaves Tomie missing and Tsukiko with strange dreams, but no memory. As Tomie regains her former powers, regrown from her severed head, she creeps closer and closer to Tsukiko and the truth of what happened. Tomie is a cult hero, a feminist nightmare--an evil demon who uses femininity to send men to Hell and spread the feminine mystique. The movies bring lots of men out, too, to see the beautiful Tomie--perhaps there is some truth to the tale?

    The full Tomie story is not covered in any one installment; I suggest that you follow Tomie with Tomie: Another Face for more insight into Tomie's origins and purpose.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Why not remake THIS? It can only be an improvement.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2004
    This movie must be great, since they made so many sequels, right? All, I can make of that is that they saw it, and just had to save the bizarre and fascinating manga from the fate it suffers here, so they had to do it again.

    There was so much potential here. A story of a beautiful and terrifying girl who is repeatedly murdered by men who "love" her, and she always comes back. A detective in the movie has been investigating her murder when he realizes that for many years, there have been murders reported with a victim named Tomie Kawakami, but none of the bodies have ever been found. (It says on the back of the DVD that the murders date back to when Japan first became industrialized, and while I'm sure that's probably a pretty significant plot point, I don't remember them mentioning it anywhere in the actual movie.) When the detective realizes what is happening, instead of finding the murderer, he instead becomes obsessed with finding Tomie Kawakami. He knows she must really be a smokin' hot babe to drive all those men insane with passion to the point of killing her so many times. This subplot is centered around the main character, who's boyfriend ditched her in high school for, you guessed it, a recent incarnation of Tomie. Then he cut her head off. Of course, she has this memory blacked out, like it's supposed to be some sort of a mystery we're trying to solve, but come on! We already know that Tomie has been murdered a bunch of times. So what else could it be?

    I find the character of Tomie interesting, because she is like the hot babe in the slasher flick who gets iced in a way that many feminist theorists have interpreted as misogynist. The girl serves a purpose of looking good (sometimes getting naked) and then dying a violent death for our entertainment. We don't know anything more about her beyond our voyueristic viewing pleasure. But Tomie is the beautiful slasher victim come back to life to terrorize her killer, not by actually DOING anything, but merely by living, and unnerving him with her unshakeable presence.

    There is a lot here to explore. There are so many unanswered questions about Tomie for us to ponder. For example, we know that Tomie is immortal, but why does she end up killed so many times? She seems to have an energy that causes men to fall in love with her, and go mad. But why does she use it? Does it amuse her to go back and stand in front of the person who saw her die by his hand? What is also interesting is the brutal way in which she is killed. You usually don't see her shot, poisoned, or hit on the head. The one who decides to kill her usually chops her up into pieces. So why do ordinary men all decide to do this? Does she want them to? We see her regenerate from a single chopped up body part. Does she want to be dismembered so that she can replicate herself? Or does she love to freak people out by appearing as a talking severed head? Tomie stays young forever, but does she need to be killed in order to keep from aging?

    The manga explored many of these themes, but in a way vague enough to not give us any true answers. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't explore any of them, and plods along with some dull character development and minimal gore. Now, if you're reading this, and saying to yourself, "This chick doesn't understand Japanese horror subtlety, and just wants to see a bloody slasher flick," you're wrong. I love the subtlety of Japanese horror, and between gore and plot, I will always opt for the latter. But this doesn't have either one.

    There is one interesting thing it does have, however. The main character is very beautiful, and I don't mean that in a geeky, "watch this cuz it's got hot chicks!" kinda way. But it gives more insight into what Tomie actually does. The main character had a boyfriend in high school who fell in love with Tomie, and I found it quite interesting how much more striking she looked in contrast to Tomie. In the behind the scenes footage, the actress playing Tomie was much prettier than she was in the film, which made it seem that making Tomie less attractive than her romantic rival was a conscious choice. It seems that Tomie has the power to manipulate people, specifically males, into falling in love with her, and believing her to be the most beautiful woman in the world, when in fact, she's not.

    Of all the Japanese horror out there, why did this one come out in the US before Uzumaki? This is one film you'll never hear anyone begging Hollywood not to remake.

    Die deutsche Synchronisation ist fürchterlich und Schockomente gibt

    Reviewed in Germany on April 10, 2008

    Ich bin ein Fan von asiatischer Filmkunst, sei es nun The Ring, A Tale of Two Sisters oder Dark Water. Also dachte ich mir, dass man mit Tomie nichts falsch machen könnte. Weit gefehlt. Wenn Tomie atmosphärischer Horror sein soll, dann ist Schneewittchen und die sieben Zwerge ein Porno.

    Ich hab mich selten so gelangweilt wie bei diesem Film. Ich musste mich immer wieder beherrschen, nicht auszuschalten. Die Szenerie ist nicht wirklich zusammenhängend - und wenn man nicht weiß, wie man die Zeit zwischen zwei Dialogen füllen soll, zündet sich eben Charakter A eine Zigarette an, woraufhin Charakter B fragt, ob er auch eine haben könnte.

    Es sind ein paar wenige "brutale" Szenen vorhanden, z.B. wenn der Restaurantbesitzer von der Polizei gefunden wird und dabei einen Regenschirm durch den Mund gerammt hat, welcher durch den Hinterkopf rausragt. Hier hätte man "Situationskomik" einbauen können, indem der Regenschirm aufklappt und den Schädel zerbersten lässt.

    Die Handlung selbst wäre nicht Mal schlecht - die Umsetzung allerdings ist grottenschlecht.
