Uzumaki (うずまき, Spiral) is a 2000 Japanese horror film based on the manga of the same name. The film was the feature film debut of Akihiro Higuchi under the alias of Higuchinsky and stars Eriko Hatsune, Fhi Fan and Hinako Saeki. The film is about a town infected with malevolent spirals. As the film was produced while the manga was still being written and released, it departs from the story of the original piece and features a different ending.
The film was backed by Omega Micott, who released the film simultaneously in Japan and in San Francisco to create hype around the film on the Internet. Reviews praised the film's visuals but commented that the film was not entirely effective in being frightening.
