Tomie: Replay (2000)
8/10
The Best One So Far
4 July 2011
This film is more like a horror film than the first two, which seem to more psychological dramas. Yumi (Sayaka Yamaguchi) is trying to find out what happened to her father, a doctor at a local hospital. Tomie comes back to life when she bursts out of a little girl's stomach. She causes Yumi's father to bleed. Everyone involved with this procedure either dies or goes mad. One, Takeski, takes Tomie to his home. He eventually kills and dismembers her, but if you've watched these films, you know she's coming back. Yumi keeps trying to find her father and enlists the help of resident Fumiko (Yosuke Kubozuka). Tomie is almost a bit player through a good part of this film. Although slow moving, it keeps your interest and the story and direction, as well as the acting, is all good. You have to watch at least the first Tomie movie to understand the character fully, but I think this film is a worthier addition to this series than "Another Face". Recommended.
