Uzumaki [Blu-ray]

A popular Japanese Manga comic strip is the inspiration for this frenetic horror film, in which an entire town falls prey to an oddly geometric affliction. Our hero Kirie (Eriko Hatsune) begins to notice that everyone around her is becoming transfixed by vortexes, spirals, and circular motion. One of her friends at school begins to curl the ends of her hair into elaborate curlicues; her boyfriend's father obsessively videotapes snails; her teacher inexplicably throws herself down a winding staircase; and her boyfriend contorts his body into a rolled-up ball. It isn't long before the townspeople begin to transform into bizarre half-snail, half-man creatures, leaving Kirie to wonder if the same fate might befall her as well.
