The premise

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.

Horror Vault's take

Living in the shadow of her beautiful, effortlessly magnetic sister has always left Tsukiko feeling invisible — but that dynamic is shattered when Tomie dies in a sudden, gruesome accident. A year of nightmares follows, and then, impossibly, Tomie returns. What comes back through that door carries the face and name of the sister Tsukiko mourned, yet something beneath the surface feels profoundly, dangerously wrong. Director Noboru Iguchi brings a fevered, body-horror sensibility to the iconic Junji Ito mythos, pushing the Tomie legend into grotesque and hallucinatory new territory.
