Tomie vs Tomie (富江 vs 富江) is a 2007 Japanese horror film directed by Tomohiro Kubo.[1] It is the seventh installment of the Tomie film series, based on a manga series of the same name by Junji Ito, specifically The Gathering chapter from the third volume.
Plot
The plot revolves around two children who were injected with the original Tomie’s blood, and thus grew into full-fledged Tomies themselves. This didn’t work perfectly, so they started degrading, needing more Tomie blood to sustain themselves.
A young man with a troubled past begins work in a factory, where he attracts the amorous attention of a mysterious woman who lurks behind the scenes. He is a relatively unique young man, perhaps a genetic one-off, in that he feels no particular attraction to Tomie. This of course intrigues Tomie, and she begins to become obsessed with him. Soon, he is caught in a vicious struggle between two rival Tomies. And neither Tomie will die.
