Review:
“Tomie” unravels slowly, focusing on Tsukiko’s personal problems and a police investigation into multiple murders of a young woman named Tomie. Tension builds as the two storylines weave together, highlighted by an awesomely creepy soundtrack. As Tomie hunts down Tsukiko’s friends and family, you can’t help but wonder what horrible things she has planned for Tsukiko. Their last confrontation is indeed disturbing, but not in the way you might expect…
