If you loved Tomie, try Tomie: Beginning
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Tomie: Beginning has roughly 3.7× fewer votes than Tomie — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Ataru Oikawa, and they both carry the body horror, dread, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tomie, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tomie: Beginning is
School hallway. Spring sunlight. A giggle. Tomie arrives, beautiful and cruel. Suddenly, jealousies fester; hidden desires turn murderous. Junji Ito's manga gets a suitably nasty, low-budget update.
