What is Uzumaki about?

Uzumaki is based on the Japanese horror manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Junji Ito that was serialised in Shogakukan's weekly seinen manga magazine Big Comic Spirits from 1998 to 1999. An official synopsis from Warner Bros. reads, “'Let’s leave this town together,' asks Shuichi Saito, a former classmate of Kirie Goshima, a high school girl who was born and grew up in Kurouzu-cho. Everything from a strange whirlwind, billowing smoke from the crematorium, and the residents is turning into spirals. People’s eyes spin in whirls, a tongue spirals, and the bodies twist unnaturally. In an attempt to escape the curse of the spirals, Kirie decides to flee from Kurouzu-cho, but can she get away from this turmoil?”
