Tsukiko is part of the photography club at school, but has always felt less than her sister Tomie. She's cute and very popular among boys. However, one day, Tomie dies in a horrible accident, triggering endless nightmares for Tsukiko. One year later, right when Tomie was supposed to turn 18, someone knocks on the door. Tomie is back.

Why it matters

A haunting dive into the eerie mythology of Junji Ito’s iconic Tomie, blending body horror with unsettling teen drama.

  • Revives Ito’s signature blend of cosmic dread and seductive menace, centering on a supernatural doppelgänger with a deadly allure.
  • Practical effects and unsettling visuals capture Tomie’s uncanny regenerative curse with a tangible grotesqueness.
  • A mood of claustrophobic obsession and identity unraveling, perfect for fans of psychological horror tangled with supernatural terror.
  • Not flawless—narrative pacing can drag and some performances falter—but its eerie atmosphere and cult source material make it a must-see for Ito devotees and J-horror enthusiasts alike.
