Uzumaki (2000, JAP) C-95m. ** D: Higuchinsky. Starring Eriko Hatsune, Fhi Fan, Hinako Saeki, Eun-Kyung Shin, Keiko Takahashi. Japanese horror chiller about a teenage girl who witnesses strange occurences in her home town. People seem to be fascinated to the point of obsession by spirals of all kinds. The first deaths are soon to follow. Some interesting distortion of visuals, but film is all style and no substance, and not as creepy as it would like to be. Based on a Manga comic. English titles: SPIRAL, VORTEX.
