Like a lot of people I fell into the world of Asian horror with Hideo Nakata’s Ringu. After being thrilled by the imagery and concept I read the trilogy of novels by Koji Suzuki: Ring, Spiral, and Loop. I knew there was a filmed adaptation of the sequel, but at the time Asian imports were hard to find, and I kept confusing Uzumaki, called Spiral when it came over to the states, with Rasen, which was the filmed sequel to Ringu and also translates to Spiral (and also NOT the filmed sequel by Nakata which I reviewed last year…confused yet? ). Anyway, that’s a long preamble to the fact I finally watched Uzumaki, which is a somewhat silly but effective nightmare that has some great visual moments and a barely held together story that nevertheless makes it an oddity to catch.
