A girl called Tomie has been killed & dismembered, but not once but - as ebvidence suggests - repeatedly, & the inspector working on the case (Tomorowo Taguchi) has come up with a wild theorie to explain that wild fact: This girl Tomie has the ability to be reborn & grow to fulll size from a single, insignkificant limb of her body ... & he doesn't even know how close he is to the truth both theoretically as well as geographically, for his only clue to Tomie is a girl called Tsukiko (Mami Nakamura), who was an eye-witness to Tomie's last death, but who undergoes therapy because she has lost all memory of these proceedings. & Tomie grows back to full size in the same appartment building where she lives, &, once whole again, takes up sonme work at the restaurant where Tsukiko's boyfriend Saiga (Kota Kusano) works. & since Tomie (Miho Kanno) also has the ability to make men obsessed of her, soon the staff of the restaurant kills one another ... except Saiga, who has become Tomies willing slave & even helps her to capture Tsukiko & bind her to a hospital bed when they find her at one of Tomie's crimescenes (Tomie has by now developed a predilection for mass murder, you know). Tomie is about to murder Tsukiko, too, when Saiga finds a photograph of him & Tsukiko which breaks Tomies hypnotic spell over him, & he kills & dismembers Tomie before the very eyes of Tsukiko - & for her it's like history repeating, she has just regained memory of the previous incident. But of course Tomie won't stay dead for long, even in a dismembered state, & soon comes to haunt Tsukiko again, telling her she's just another part of herself, but not knowing that Tsukiko has already taken preparations to blow her up. Finally freed of her nemesis, Tsukiko takes up a job as photographer ... but is Tomie really gone ...

This might sound like less than it actually is, a bizarre shocker that puts strange ideas over cheap effects & tells a tale of haunting obsessions amidst weird horrors. Some of the ideas are so absurd that they quite obviously reveal the comic-book source (a manga by Junji Ito). To this date, 3 more movies where made based on this manga (Tomie: Replay [2000], Tomie: Re-Birth [2001] & Tomie: Saishuu-sho - Kindan no Kajitsu/Tomie - Forbidden Fruit [2002]).
