Darren D @DarrenJD Apr 24, 2026 Watching "Uzumaki" felt part Lovecraftian, with an unseen evil hiding behind mysterious, hypnotic spirals & a J-Horror that felt inspired by David Lynch, not just from the variation of personalities & mounting pressure that comes from normal circumstances having the vibe that something is off. It somehow avoids becoming tonally at odds with itself. Higuchinsky's direction is a kinetic shooting style mixing this otherworldly viewpoint & goofiness where things really get weird, & then surprising the audience with brief moments of madness that grow like a parasite.

For those who prefer a straight-forward narrative, this will likely not land well for you. It landed well with me. I loved the fragmented plotting, atmospherically dreamlike. A washed out green palette enhances the strange visuals provided by outstanding (especially for the budget) practical effects.

Uzumaki é um mangá de horror produzido por um dos mestres deste gênero, Junji Ito. O terror é psicológico, com as pessoas tendo fixações por espirais, mas alguma delas leva isso ao máximo e, então, o filme descamba para o body horror, com corpos retorcidos, como um pano molhado que torcemos para tirar o excesso de água. O filme passa um ar angustiante pois não há um inimigo físico a se combater. São espirais que se encontram espalhadas por toda parte: na concha de um caracol, no interior do cano de um revólver, no interior do ouvidos das pessoas, em um piolho de cobra se protegendo. Não há muito a se fazer. Apenas mergulhe no terror doentio deste filme.

It wouldve definetly been better if it was a longer movie but its still an enjoyable experience non the less.
