Oh yes! The universe has rewarded me for sticking through the weakest entries in the series!
After so many movies that try to be dramas with horror elements, this not only is one of the most horror feeling entries but actually feels like a Junji Ito manga brought to life! They bring in Noboru Iguchi the man behind stuff like Machine Girl and Zombie Ass, and quite frankly this guy should have been in charge of the franchise from the beginning! This guy understands the assignment! We got Tomie centipedes, a tumor headed Tomie, a giant Tomie peeking through doorways, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg, if you love this stuff you need to check it out!
So glad after many years I finally got around to watching this, because this is not just going to be one of my favorites, but it might be my ultimate favorite of the series! I asked for it to end with a bang in my last review, and boy did I receive!
But shame this is the last one as of right now. I have no idea if they’ve been talking about more entries over there in Japan, but I’m hoping they get back to it someday soon. And carry on the momentum from this movie as well! And please, keep it in Japan. After the latest entries in the American versions of The Ring and The Grudge, I’m not sure I trust my own country with this series!
And yes I have checked out Junji Ito Maniac on Netflix a few years ago, which does contain a Tomie story. Was pretty good, but I need more Tomie!
