Kurozu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but by a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral, the hypnotic secr…et shape of the world. It manifests itself in small ways: seashells, ferns, whirlpools in water, whirlwinds in air.
The recurring spiral turns familiar shapes into signs of a threat that seems to be everywhere.
For viewers who enjoy body horror, obsession and towns trapped by a curse.
The source of terror is a geometric pattern invading bodies, objects and behaviour.
