just as bizarre as it sounds. most of the questions the film poses are left unanswered, but it’s still fully satisfying. And there are some really unforgetable images throughout.
Uzumaki is a bizarre, creepy, and often whimsical little movie with fantastic imagery. starts off slow but gets crazier and crazier as it goes.
I highly recommend it
Vague plot with little explanation or resolution… Just a curse of spirals plaguing a town, and the subsequent bizarre results. It’s a strange little movie, which I happen to like a lot, but it’s certainly not for everyone…
Good movie.. I lost my remote & couldn’t get the subtitles on, but I enjoyed it still. Although the manga is MUCH better.
The best J-Horror film ive ever seen. Very weird and kinda creepy. Very low budget with sub-titles but still very cool.
Very creepy and cartoonish, loved it!
Having read the Uzumaki manga series first, I was sorely disappointed with Uzumaki. It failed to even remotely touch the complexities of the manga and only grazed 1/3 of the story line. I also know that if I hadn’t read the manga before I would have been totally confused, as they never explained the reason for the spirals. (If you want answers, go to the books, they’re in there.)
A movie about all kinds of spirals that kinda attack a Japanese village – sounds bizarre, is bizarre. In fact it’s mindblowingly bizarre and extremely weird, yet totally adorable.
Highly atmospheric and eerie, but also a bit amusing. Crammed with splendid ideas and impressive images; cool-looking settings and brilliant effects. Great score, decent acting, neat dialogue – terrific movie!
Some nice gore right up front. Chapter title cards…good. Uh oh. Comedy music. Some interesting imagery, but it’s a bit silly. Spirals everywhere! Spirals. Spirals. There are spirals. Not quite scary because you always know what’s coming next, and it’s always, you guessed it, spirals. They drive people crazy. The number of spirals in this movie is high. I can’t quite decide if it’s a full-on horror movie or a quirky fantasy. “There’s a spiral in your ear! Stab it!” Certainly some cool visuals, but not very compelling or cohesive.
