Although I heard some mixed opinions and my wife did not feel for this movie at all I really loved this one. The plot development is just a bit slow in the bginning but it unravels a great story with one of the best twists of all time. Also this is probably one of the most original and unusual stories period.

very bizzare film but I enjoyed it alot especially when you think your mind is playing tricks on you by seeing spirals in the background.

I guess the movie was to give us a field in a new cult or new terrors from common everyday items. The spirl I guess defines the logic of hyponsis, or illusion of some sort like for example, when you fear something, you usually would see stuff that normal people would not see.

I thought this movie was pretty interesting when I first saw it. Then I read the manga and I have to say that the movie does the storyline no justice. There's so much more they could've done with that. After you've read the manga, watch the movie again and you'll realize that there are a lot of things that just arent explained in the movie that are really important to the storyline. You can probably find the manga online. VERY good read. I read somewhere that it is the best horror manga ever to come out. I would definitely agree with this myself. The author, Junji Ito, does some pretty good stuff. But I just get this awesome feeling when I read Uzumaki. 10 out of 10

It was decent. Not as weird as "Suicide Circle"....that was just ODD! Nothing beats "Battle Royale" for me as my fave Asian film.
