Hitomi doesnt want to become a monster, and so they decide to commit suicide. However, when at a waterfall, about to commit suicide, Tomies head grows on the side of Hitomis neck next to her head. They all die and then Takumis sister comes and throws flowers into the water. A small facial mole can be seen directly beneath the sisters left eye, suggesting that, because Takumi gave her the portrait of Tomie, she was also possessed by her. Thus, the sister is the newest Tomie.Blogcritics made note of the films slow pace, quiet sets, and lack of gore, and wrote that there even with its high body count, there appeared to be a conscious effort to keep to decorum in the traditional sense of the word, which means to say even during a dismemberment there is still little to show for it except an artfully expanding pool of blood and Tomies severed head watching from a bowl.

He wrote he appreciated the slow pace of a creeping horror film having the ability to give him the heebiejeebies, but that the pacing in this film seemed pointless, the representation of a pixiecute girl with the tittering laugh was annoying, and he did not understand the interactions between the players. ........
