Tomie

Tomie (1998) elicits strong emotional responses primarily centered around Fear, Anxiety, and a profound sense of the Disturbing, characteristic of its J-horror roots and the unsettling nature of its titular antagonist. The narrative's focus on a traumatized protagonist struggling with memory loss also generates significant Sadness and Empathy, alongside Confusion and Curiosity as the mystery of Tomie unfolds. Moments of Surprise punctuate the psychological dread, while underlying Anger may arise from the malevolent force at play.
