There’s something wrong with this town. It’s not quite on the levels of something like, say “Silent Hill,” but the inhabitants of the backwater Japanese village of “Uzumaki” are definitely spiraling into some form of insanity. Hence the sinister spirals that are overtaking nearly everyone's lives.
First conceived in 1998 by the legendary Junji Ito, the horror manga “Uzumaki” showed the world just how terrifying a simple spiral can be. That’s the art and prowess behind Ito’s work, wherein the strange and macabre take life in such extraordinary ways, from the likes of human-shaped holes as seen in “The Enigma of Amigara Fault” and balloon people of “The Hanging Balloons.”
