"What can I say, I saw the first Tomie film (in a lousy Hong Kong pressing) and loved it. Then I watched a simiar edition of Tomie: Forbidden Fruit and I was hooked. Seeing the Tomie Collection in Best Buy, it was a no brainer. Five films, nicely mastered with bonus features at this price? Sign me up!
This box includes the best of the Tomie films, there are two later ones not included here."
Five movies all same plot :(

"Ok so as far as Japanese horror goes for this series of movies there really isn't much in the way of horror. For any who are not familiar with Tomie it's about a beautiful young girl who all the guys who come in contact with her immediately fall in love and become obsessed with Tomie. So obsessed that if they can't have her they kill her. When she dies she resurrects and the same people fall in love with her when they see her and just repeats the cycle over again. It's pretty much the exact same plot over and over again, nothing really changes at all. Tomie "Another Face" seems like it was made for a T.V. series that didn't seem to go anywhere with the plot at all. If you're looking for scare factor I do not recommend this at all. Tomie Rebirth had a couple scenes that could possibly make you jump but really no scare factor. On top of all this the five movies that you get with this collection isn't infact the "complete" collection. There are two more called "Tomie the Beginning" and "Tomie's Revenge" and they're impossible to find unless you want to go to a convention and buy them at a rediculous high price or order them off of EBay to look for these. Tomie the Beginning actually explains how Tomie is able to ressurect herself but is really just more or less the exact same plot and takes place just before the first Tomie movie. I gave this 2 stars only because the first one was really the only good one and the rest is like de ja vu. I've only watched these once and will probably not watch these again or if I do it'll probably be only the first one."
Much bang for your BUCK!

"These movies are all excelent! 5 for about, 3.95 NEW! I bought this collection without much knowledge of Tomie and I really do love these movies! They're all great. I highly doubt you'll be dissapointed.
The first movie is, Tomie. Second, which was super low budget and didn't have much to do with the story line was Tomie: Another Face. The third movie, which was one of the best in my opinion was Tomie: Replay. 4th, which was long and neverending...is Tomie: Rebirth and 5th, my most favorite out of the 5, is Tomie: Forbidden Fruit.
You can easily rent these movies from hollywood video if you have one, but i'd suggest buying the collection. Since, the price is cheap. The movies are cheap separate, but come on. BUY IT!
If you like tomie movies, there's a few new out that weren't added to the collection, Tomie - Revenge & Tomie - Beginning"
