A confusing but atmospheric addition to the Asian horror scene, 1 June 2006
Author: DVD_Connoisseur from England

I viewed "Tomie" last night on DVD and was left with mixed feelings. After working my way through the film (which unfortunately had the worst subtitles I've ever encountered), I was left with many questions unanswered.

This isn't a movie geared towards viewers who want all plot lines tied up neatly. It is, however, an atmosphere based thriller with more than a few supernatural overtones.

The film features a great opening but, sadly, doesn't keep the pace or the scare factor up beyond the first scene.

I wouldn't recommend this film but it's probably a worthy addition to a genre fan's DVD shelf.
