Uzumaki (うずまき, “Spiral”) is a Japanese horror film directed by Higuchinsky. Uzumaki, released in 2000, is based on Junji Ito‘s episodic manga of the same name.
The plot concerns a town infected with malevolent spirals. This abstract concept manifests in grotesque ways, such as a teenager’s long hair beginning to curl and take over her mind, or a corpse wound around itself.
Wikipedia | IMDb | Rotten Tomatoes
“From Hitchcock’s Vertigo to the Evil Dead films, and a smattering of American and Japanese horror/suspense films in-between, Uzumaki delivers plenty of chilling moments and creepy imagery, while also keeping a sense of humor. Despite the film’s obvious financial limitations, director Higuchinsky gets the most out of budget visual effects and a unique editing style that makes Uzumaki an engaging watch.” Horror.com
