TOMIE

Adapted from the cult classic manga from Japanese "guru of the grotesque" Junji Ito, TOMIE is one of the J-Horror boom’s most evocative and mercurial transmissions. Art student Tsukiko unlocks her repressed memories after she undergoes hypnosis and repeatedly calls for “Tomie,” someone she claims no knowledge of. When a mysterious woman with that name suddenly arrives to torment the student, Tsukiko vows to do whatever it takes to uncover the terrible truth at the center of everything. Combining Ito’s trademark lurid surrealism with liminal atmospheres and top-notch practical effects, TOMIE's dreamy late-nite vibes make it a key experience from the late-'90s J-Horror boom.
