Mjeteconer Just perfect...

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Paul Magne Haakonsen Well, at least it was better than the original first "Tomie" movie, but not much. "Tomie: Replay", like the "Tomie" movie, was suffering from a very long and dragged out story that told very little, thus making it seem to drag on forever and ever. And also like "Tomie", there was absolutely no horror in this movie, either that or I have become too seasoned to Japanese horror movies.The story, however, is a tad more well-constructed than the one told in "Tomie". Although, again as with the first "Tomie" movie, then it was suffering from a lack of clear red line in the story; there was just too much side tracking and telling stuff that really didn't further the already slow-paced storyline. The story is about Tomie being reborn in a hospital, and those who participated in this event have either disappeared or stopped working. Finding her father's notes, a young student sets out to find out the reason behind these odd events, and she is helped by a young man who is out on a similar quest, to find out why his long-time friend suddenly started to behave weird.Unlike the first movie, then there is a much more clear and visible production value to this movie, which is a step upward on the enjoyment scale. And the someone, although not much, improved storyline was also a boost upward.But in overall, then "Tomie: Replay" is not all that much of an improvement, and if you have seen "Tomie", then you will be entertained by "Tomie: Replay". But personally, I am hoping that the other movies in the series will prove more scary and entertaining.For a Japanese horror movie, then "Tomie: Replay" was surprisingly devoid of scares, spooky stuff and horror.

Leofwine_draca TOMIE: REPLAY is the third instalment of this manga-based series about a girl who keeps coming back from the dead. The first film, TOMIE, was very much a unique, weird movie with an atmosphere all its own, while the lamentable shot-on-video sequel, TOMIE: ANOTHER FACE, isn't even worth mentioning. The good news is that TOMIE: REPLAY is on much stronger ground, similar in many aspects to the first film but with a more involved storyline.The horror in this film is far more visceral, with plenty of disturbing imagery. There are body parts galore, as well as scenes of violent murder and just plain weird stuff going on (the opening sequence, in which doctors performing a Caesarian discover a woman's head instead of a baby, is difficult to forget). There are more cast members here, from mad doctors to dedicated daughters and the usual rote of young menfolk who find themselves obsessed with the spectral Tomie.The pacing is slow and the tone subdued for the most part, and if you're looking for well-developed ghost sequences a la RING or THE GRUDGE, then you've come to the wrong place. If, however, you're in the mood for a one-of-a-kind cult oddity then the Tomie series might just be for you.

the_headless_cross IMO you can add this to the list which contains Terminator 2, Aliens, and Spiderman 2. What list is this? The list of sequels that kick ass! The first Tomie was pretty good and all, but it felt like something was missing. This sequel adds whatever was missing! First, it is fast paced (watched it for the umpteenth time last night and was surprised how fast it moved), second it actually follows a story from the manga. Also a few creepy moments in this one (all about that crawling on the ceiling, wow!), and IMO this one contains the hottest Tomie to appear in all of the movies. So if you want to watch all the Tomie movies I recommend starting with this one (none of the movies have any continuity so it never really matters what order you watch them in).

movieman_kev A girl named Tomie is born fully grown from a child's stomach. So is kept in a fish aquarium until she breaks out of the hospital with the help of a love-smitten patient. Meanwhile, Yumi (Sakaya Yamaguchi) after much searching finds her father's notebook, whom was the director of the same said hospital, and reads it hoping to find clues about his mysterious disappearance. The last page is written in blood. How do these two things connect? While I liked this film more than the previous one, I couldn't help but feel something was missing. Perhaps it's just that the comic book character of Tomie can't really be carried over to the big screen. I don't know. This, the best in the series of 6 (currently), is just slightly above average.My Grade: C+ DVD Extras: Art gallery ; Trailers for the first 5 "Tomie" film
