First Teaser For Noboru Iguchi's TOMIE: UNLIMITED

What does it look like when splat-stick maestro Noboru Iguchi - director of The Machine Girl, Robo Geisha and Karate Robo Zaborgar - tries his hand at something a little more serious? You're about to find out.

Iguchi is at the helm of the latest adaptation of Junji Ito's classic Tomie horror manga and the first teaser is freshly arrived online.

Tsukiko, who belongs to a photography club at high school, always feels inferior to her sister Tomie. Tomie is very beautiful and popular with male students. But one day Tomie dies in an awful accident right under Tsukiko's nose. Since then Tsukiko suffers from a nightmare every night. One year passes and on dead Tomie's 18th birthday, someone knocks the door of Tsukiko's house. Unbelievably, it is Tomie. She's back. The father and the mother blindly welcome Tomie but only Tsukiko feels instinct fear. Tomie gradually reveals her true face only when she is with Tsukiko. Tsukiko's nightmare becomes true... and horrible days begin.

The trailer is dark stuff, far more serious minded than we're used to seeing from Iguchi. Check it out below.
