Product Description

With beauty that sets hearts on fire and a chilly stare that can freeze people in an instant, Tomie captivates and wields her supernatural power. When she transfers to a new high school, the students become possessed and soon realize that behind this beauty is a powerful evil. They cut off her right ear, it then scurries through the grass and regenerates. Driven to insanity, several of the boys attempt to execute her by pushing her off a cliff. To be certain that she cannot return, they dismember her body and dump pieces in different locations. But Tomie, the beautiful monster, can regenerate from a single drop of blood, and returns the next morning laughing - ready to lure her next victims into lunacy.

4.0 out of 5 stars The prequel Tomie fans have been waiting for!, April 19, 2009
By Kris Kawaii (Racine, Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews
This was what I have been waiting for!
To see Tomie's origins!

It was a very good movie. The acting was amature and the movie, low budget, but it really adds in some information for us Tomie fans. The Tomie actress in this movie was adorable. The plot was great and it wasn't necessarily a scary horror film, just good.

I'd suggest anyone who read the Tomie manga see this movie as well.
:D A great addition to your collection!

I liked how the actress played Tomie in this prequel. She was cute and scary at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tomie:The beginning, September 10, 2007
Another great movie to add to the "Tomie collection".
This movie takes place right before the first Tomie movie started, Basically a prequel.
Tomie arrives as a transfer student from another school, and one by one begins to terrorize and hypnotize her teacher and classmates with her good looks and evil ways...
I wish that they would keep the movie series going. I remember hearing in the movie that investigators said the Tomie murders dated back to another era in japan. This would/and still could be a great storyline and area to start off with, Unfortunatly they chose not to.
