Still not sure what to think... - By starnaito

Uzumaki Reviewed by starnaito

I’m not really sure what type of person would like a movie like this. I guess if you’re into very bizarre horror movies, this is for you. I watched this quite a while ago and I remember saying aloud, "What the heck?!" numerous times, haha. I think there were about two or three scenes that freaked me out, not because they were frightening, just really, really uncomfortably strange. I think I laughed at this movie more than anything else, so if it was intended to be a comedy, I might give it more stars, but I’m pretty sure the manga it was based on was placed in the horror genre, and this just didn’t seem all that scary to me. I do remember becoming significantly more aware of spirals after watching through…
