Tomie: Forbidden Fruit [DVD]

I now own the Tomie series, buying them individualy was the less expensive option for me. I love this character, she has to ability to regenerate infinitely. Each story is different and has it's own unique plot, this is why I bought all of them. Maybe find one Tomie movie to rent before you start buying them, as I believe this character is not for everyone; she's cruel and sometimes disgusting, she's manipulative, powerful, indestructible and she knows it. These attributes are why I love her, but I could see how they could be off-putting for the more sensative person.

I believe the only worth watching tomie movie.

Fantastic B-Grade Horror Movie that will have you pleasantly suprised with it’s deeper meaning, interesting characters, and it’s overall appreciation for Junji Ito and the original character of Tomie. 8/10. Highly Recommend Watching!!

Even though the fourth installment of this series was called Tomie: The Final Chapter – Forbidden Fruit, we all know that any sequel happy series that promises a final chapter are always liars.Tomie Hashimoto writes vampire fiction and gets made fun of for being a Lolita by the other girls by day and lives alone with her distant and widowed father by night. One day, while trying to jewelry, Tomie H. meets Tomie Kawakami, who she brings into her fictional life. But their meeting was no coincidence.Tomie H.’s father, Kazuhiko, was involved with Tomie K. years and years ago, back before she was murdered. He even named his daughter after her. Once Tomie K. meets him, she casts her spell and demands that he kill her daughter. He replies by cutting off her head and throwing it into the river, which Tomie H. finds the head and nurses it back into a larval state.Like many teen relationships, a fight comes between them, so Tomie H. throws her friend off a building, which only brings her back stronger, so she kills her with an arrow and gets her father’s help to freeze and destroy Tomie K., who of course wins over the father and nearly kills our heroine, who is saved by a worker at the ice company.She goes back to her fictional world, except now she has an ear of Tomie that she is growing to be her true friend.Shun Nakahara, who directed this, is another young Japanese filmmaker who came from the world of adult video. I found this to be one of the more interesting Tomie movies. As for the lesbian tease of Forbidden Fruit, it’s mostly implied and refers to the pomegranate, which the two eat together in one scene.Some Jewish scholars believe pomegranates were the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. The fruit is also listed as one of the Seven Species of special products of the Land of Israel and symbolizes the mystical experiences of the kabbalah. Finally, look no further than the Songs of Solomon for this quote: “Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.”So yeah, they’re totally talking about sex.

The actresses are cute, but that's about it for this chapter in the Tomie saga.

Tomie: Forbidden Fruit is a great, fun film that works on many levels - a horror movie, a coming of age story, even a cautionary tale on the horrors of high-school bullying. Moody, interesting, well-acted, Forbidden Fruit is a solid entry in the Tomie franchise and the best part is that you can start right here even without seeing any of the others. (The films follow no particular order) Possibly my favorite of the series.

I love this movie out of all of the movies. The rest of them are good, but this one I really love! You have to watch the ones before this movie to understand what it's about. This movie is the best!

Der 4. Teil der Tomie Serie ist leider genauso langweilig wie die Vorgänger. Für eingefleischte Fans des J Horror Kinos vielleicht OK. Für mich nix.
