i happen to have read all of junji ito english release manga . i watch the tomie film and it be a big steaming pile of turd . thankfully uzumaki actually do justice to the manga . i think those who have read the manga will really appreciate this film more and a many screenshots and camera angle be exactly like in the manga and it be interest to see how the book character be play in the film . this film remind me of eerie indiana . the end differs to the manga and which i be expect . kirie look like her manga counterpart and and her male friend suit the whole very well . very creepy i have to admit and this film feel like a feverish nightmare and the kind you have when you be a kid . not really scary at all and but freaky and if you get my drift . another great horror from japan and get yourself a copy .
