TOMIE: REPLAY


Tomie: Replay is a 2000 Japanese horror film directed by Tomijiro Mitsuishi, and starring Sakaya Yamaguchi and Mai Hosho as Tomie. Even though this is the third installment in the Tomie series, this is the actual first sequel to the 1999 movie Tomie.

The movie starts with a young girl having surgery due to an unusually distended stomach. When the doctors begin to operate, they find a severed head, Tomie, alive and growing inside the girl. The doctors then place the head inside a tank containing alkaline solution. Soon after, the hospital workers present during the operation mysteriously leave the hospital or disappear, including hospital director Morita. After finding her father's notes, Yumi Morita, discovers something weird written about the incident with Tomie's head that apparently drove the doctor insane. All that is written in the log looks normal until the last page, where the name Tomie is referred to several times. The last pages are apparently written in blood. As Yumi discovers the truth about Tomie, it seems clear that the only thing to do with such "monster" is to kill her.
