I haven't read Gyo, yet, but I just ordered the first volume.

I haven't seen any of the Tomie movies, but I did watch Uzumaki. It's a really "meh," movie. I don't think that waiting for the manga to finish would have made any difference. That last volume is so bleak and so strange they wouldn't have adapted it. You would need independent financing and a directing super team of David Lynch, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Takashi Miike to do it properly.

Have you heard of Kago Shintaro, as well? I've only read a couple of his shorts, but he's. . .interesting. He's much more extreme than Ito, a lot of his stuff is NSFW, it's more surreal and disturbing. His concepts are usually pretty inventive and heady.

I'm hesitant to post any direct links, because they're so NSFW, but they can easily be found on-line.

The ones I've read are:

Abstraction- Manga panels envisioned as three dimensional boxes with each side consisting of a different panel, but everything in those panels occupies the same space. It's hard to explain, because it's insane.

Multiplication- A self aware panel generates a new panel, then those panels start to generate more panels. As they multiply they become more corrupt and distorted and horrifying.

Labyrinth- I don't remember anything too bad in this one, so here's a link: http://www.guromanga.com/read/ekimae-hanayome/7058/p1#.UtlvnPso7s1 It's very Ito-esque. The world becomes trapped in a maze.
