Tomie: Unlimited (富江 アンリミテッド Tomie anrimiteddo?) is a 2011 Japanese horror film directed by Noboru Iguchi and the eighth installment of the Tomie film series.
Tsukiko is a member of the photography club in high school. On her way home with friend Yoshie, Tsukiko runs into older sister Tomie (Miu Nakamura), who goes to the same high school. Tomie is also with Toshio - a guy Tsukiko has a secret crush on. Tsukiko is consumed with jealousy, but at the same time is intoxicated with Tomie's beauty. Tsukiko keeps pressing the trigger on her camera. When Tsukiko stops taking pictures, Tomie is impaled by a steel cross that falls from a building under construction. One year later, Tsukiko still suffers nightmares over her sister's death. Slowly, her daily life returns to some sense of normalcy. On Tomie's 18th birthday, her parents and Tsukiko stand around a birthday cake in her honor. At that time, Tomie arrives, more beautiful than ever. Her parents are delighted to see Tomie alive but Tsukiko is unable to believe it.
Tomie manages to get her father to whip Tsukiko across the back with a steam iron cable as punishment. Tomie's behavior starts becoming increasingly bizarre as she shows Tsukiko the scar on her neck that begins to evolve into a talking tumor. When Tomie decides to leave, her father stabs and kills her. The next morning, Tsukiko witnesses her mother Kimiko and father Masashishi dismembering Tomie's body. Kimiko then disposes of Tomie's head and goes to prepare Tsukiko's school lunch, accidentally dropping chunks of Tomie's flesh and hair in it. At school, Tsukiko notices a girl who looks exactly like her dead sister. During lunch break, Tsukiko opens her lunch pack and sees several miniature Tomie heads in it. When her friend Yoshie goes to look for Tsukiko, she hears noises in the trash. The miniature Tomie heads appear and suffocate Yoshie with their abnormally long tongues, killing her.
At home, Tomie's head rises from the trash bin and convinces her father to kill his wife and feed her to Tomie. Back at school, Tsukiko encounters Yoshie with a tumor on her neck and runs off in panic. When Yoshie enters the Judo club's room, she is decapitated by the members who mistook her head for the tumor's. Her headless body comes back to life and starts chasing the Judo club members. Tsukiko then walks into Toshio stabbing Tomie's body, and a new Tomie forms out of the blood and begins kissing Toshio. Tsukiko kills Toshio and runs into a locker room and encounters several versions of Tomie.
