Synopsis of Uzumaki
In the town of Kurouzu-cho, Kirie Goshima lives a
relatively normal life with her family. However, one day while walking to the
station to meet her boyfriend, Shuuichi Saito, she notices her father staring
intently at a snail shell in an alley. Without giving it much thought, Kirie
tells Shuuichi about the situation, to which Shuuichi replies that his father
has also been acting very strange. Shuuichi
also reveals his desire to escape the town with Kirie, claiming that people
have become obsessed with spirals. But his father's obsession soon turns
deadly, starting a chain of horrifying and inexplicable events.
