With beauty that sets hearts on fire and a chilly stare that can freeze people in an instant, Tomie captivates and wields her supernatural power. The students become possessed and soon realize that behind this beauty is a powerful evil. They cut off her right ear but it regenerates. Driven to insanity, several of the boys attempt to execute her and push her off a cliff. To be certain that she cannot return, they dismember her body and dump pieces in disparate locations. But Tomie, the beautiful monster, can regenerate from a single drop of blood, and returns the next morning, laughing, ready to lure her next victims into lunacy... (official distributor synopsis)
