Synopsis

A strange, malevolent force causes the inhabitants of a small seaside village to become tragically obsessed with spirals in this chiller from famed Japanese music video director Higuchinsky. A schoolgirl notices the insanity that is slowly engulfing her friends and neighbors and, aided by a friend and reporter, tries to stop the madness. A genuinely creepy horror film in the Japanese tradition, with fiendishly beautiful visuals. "Turns the screen into a giant vortex, drawing the characters and audience deeper into a dark captivating spell" (The Onion). In Japanese with English subtitles. Higuchinsky---Japan---2000---90 mins.

I understand that the film Uzumaki (The Spiral) was made before the manga series on which it was based was completed. Thus we are able to enjoy the delicious weirdness that one finds so often in Japanese horror cinema without the dreadful expository scene in which a character gives the exact cause of the ghost/monster/haunting/curse, even though he couldn't possibly know so much about it with any certainty.
