Spiral (Uzumaki)

Description
The movie centers on the inhabitants of a small Japanese town who become increasingly obsessed with and tormented by spirals. This abstract concept manifests in grotesque ways, such as a teenager's long hair beginning to curl and take over her mind, or a corpse wound around itself.

Succumb to its creepy charms, and you'll never see inner-ear anatomy diagrams, umbrellas, or escargot in quite the same way. You might even hand over laundry chores to someone else.

Adapted from a horror comic by Junji Ito, this debut feature from Japanese music-video director Higuchinsky begins eerily but doesn't take long to descend into silliness.

Eerie and slimy enough to give Tim Burton nightmares, Uzumaki is a superb piece of fantasy cinema.

At some point, all this visual trickery stops being clever and devolves into flashy, vaguely silly overkill.

Special effects can be tastefully managed even on a shoestring budget, but here they are merely ludicrous.

A brilliant horror film with an original idea and style to spare.

Pic duly places less emphasis on narrative than on the sort of surreal set pieces that might have worked better in the graphic-novel form.

Mostly the film creates an infectious feeling of apprehension that slowly crawls up your spine.

Gussied up with so many distracting special effects and visual party tricks that it's not clear whether we're supposed to shriek or laugh.

Ultimately the, yes, snail-like pacing and lack of thematic resonance make the film more silly than scary, like some sort of Martha Stewart decorating program run amok.
