  • "Uzumaki" is a horror film directed by Higuchinsky and starring Hatsune Eriko .
    The film tells the story of a high school student Kirie Goto, but wherever he goes, there are always abnormal tragedies and weird things happening one after another. And what is incomprehensible is that these all kinds of weird things are inextricably linked to "Uzumaki"! Whether it's a madman who is crazy about Uzumaki, a witch who is devoured by Uzumaki, or an extremely weird magic hair. Where did all these visions come from? And what about Goto Kirie?

      Grotesque movie

      If you have seen the original, then this movie has many failures, but the movie is still worth watching. In addition to not as full of plot as the original, it is still very good for a Japanese-style horror film, with a sense of depression, and the outbreak of curses. The changes in later generations have become more intense.
          In the movie, the father’s obsession with the whirlpool is not as pathological as the original, or the original description is more pathological and may have less...

      It's disgusting. . A little dizzy.

      In 2000, the horror comic film "Vortex | うずまき"

      was another uncle's adaptation of the film. Although the age is far away, it is estimated that the funds are not enough, and the few points that are not enough to select have not been GETted, and the human words are not shown at all. . The second uncle's worldview must be broken and crazy.

      Under complaints, the male protagonist is like Yang Mi, watching too much drama. When the alarm goes off, it really feels like a quiet hill....

      "Even if it is the end of the world, I will still hold your hand, brave Huazhi! 》

      I'm sorry, I haven't watched the movie version, I only watched the manga, so I am reviewing the manga version "Uzumaki" only for Junji Ito.

          I have always liked Ito Junji's works very much. He always uses the most extreme methods to show humanity in these disgusting horrors.
           After a long delay, today I finally finished watching Ito Junji's "The Whirlpool", and I couldn't tell what it was like.
           Maybe the snail man inside is disgusting, or Xiuyi’s father died so...

      Watch the movie first, then read the comics

      Ito Junji is a cartoonist I like very much. He has a slightly scary style and plot, and a rich imagination. The only pity is that the full-length works are not enough to read.
         "Maelstrom" can be regarded as a one-stop work. After watching the whole film, I was completely overwhelmed by the author's imagination. The weird style runs through the beginning and the end, and the detailed plot processing is in place to tell this fantastic and unusual story as if it were actually happening....

      "The Maelstrom"--The Destiny of Unavoidable Popular Movies

      Ito Junji is a manga writer I like very much. His manga can always arouse horror from the heart, or evil? At least I felt a deep sense of guilt after watching "Fu Jiang", but what I want to talk about today is not "Fu Jiang", but his most gorgeous work, "Vortex". I think most people have seen "Fu Jiang" (specially Friends of the first three chapters, while deeply shocked by the weird atmosphere he created; while lamenting how a cartoonist can have such a rich and extraordinary imagination, he...

      Junji Ito manga adaptation of the movie. The director has his own ideas, the way of photography and lens expression is smooth and powerful, and the shooting effect is more faithful to restore the comics. Low cost production, cheap special effects but high degree of reduction. In the early stage, the plot of the comics was faithfully restored. In the later period, the plot of the original work was shortened due to the length of the story and a pseudo ending that was different from the comics was...

    Movie plot

    High school girl Goshima Kirie ( Hatsune Eriko ) lives in a peaceful and peaceful town-Kuruma Town, but the atmosphere here gradually becomes weird.
