uzumaki take place in a small japanese rural town and where people be go mad . they go nuts over vortex and spiral . the crisis be get bad and because people be turn into snail and vortex appear everywhere . uzumaki have to be one of the most bizarre and original horror movie i have see . the plot be really clever and the gore scene be really funny a the film doesn not take itself too seriously . uzumaki be wonderfully photograph and the use of color be top notch . the character be likeable and there be enough shock surprise to satisfy fan of japanese horror . despite of some hilarious scene and the overall tone of this film be pretty dark . uzumaki be not as good a ringu and ju on or audition and but if you like japanese horror movie you would not be disappoint . positive .
