Kurôzu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. But the spirit which haunts it does not have a name or a body, only a shape: uzumaki, the spiral, the hypnotic secret shape of the world. It grows in ferns, in seashells, in curls of hair, and in the twisting folds of the human brain. The very smoke from the crematorium hangs in an ominous spiral over the town, reminding everyone that even in death there is no escape! Rating: T+.
