Japanese "splat-stick" director Noboru Iguchi (The Machine Girl, Robo Geisha) returns with a darker, more serious - bu no less gory - flick.  Tomie: Unlimited, based on Junji Ito's manga series of the same name, is set to be released in May, hopefully with some sort of American distribution soon.  After the jump, check out the teaser.  It's in Japanese, but the pretty pictures are worth it.  We've got a synopsis, too; that is in English.

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.
