  • Omg I read the comic and wuz scared SHITLESS! When I found out there wuz a movie I wus like oh FIRETRUCK!

  • Even the background music repeats and twists around and repeats at a lower rate...almost as if in a....spiral pattern.............

  • if you think about Fibonacci this doesn't sound so crazy that there are spirals everywhere

  • Thankyouthankyouthankyou for uploading this, I read the manga a year or two ago but I'd forgotten the name, sooo pleased they've made a film adaptation of it though it would probably take Pasolini or Miike to make it better than the manga xxx

  • Omg, favorite manga ever. Is the movie worth watching?

  • @lexilovesjacobblack yeah, it really really is

  • .D.;; I can't make myself watch the trailor... <XDD

    I nearly died reading Gyo and that wasn't that scary, it was just disturving as hell <XDD

  • Naruto should come in and save them all with his don powers. Get it? Naruto Uzumaki? Get it? I'll just shut up now.

  • I love the comic book more it explains my favorite part in the movie the medusa effect

  • Oh very good.

  • the scariest part was the music.

  • They're supposed to be called Spirals... well in the translated Manga they're called spirals... I'm not sure, maybe it's because when I hear the word "Vortex" I don't really really think of it as equaling the word "Spiral."

  • I hope this movie ends up in a vortex

  • I like japanese horror movies, they're always good!

  • *edogawa

  • I love this manga remind me alot of educate rampo

  • hey can someone send the link to the manga

  • @peruvianamerican101 why wud u want to read bout spirals?

    this is just a disgusting manga from a person who has a mental obsession with spirals

  • @ArthasXfrost I don't have time for immature imbeciles such as yourself,if you dont have anything smart 2 say i suggest keeping your mouth shut cuz people may actually notice ur a feces eating retard,Have a blessed day and my someone help you with ur little problems

  • @peruvianamerican101 apparently u have plenty time on your hands since u want to waste it watching volumes of manga depicting obscene obsessions with spirals

    the only feces that is present are the ones spewing out yo mouth

    LOL and its ironic how u call me a "retard with little problems" when u are interested in viewing depictions of ppl twisting their bodies into spirals, getting sucked into a spiral from their own head, and suicide becuz one finds out her ear contains a spiral

    good day jerk

  • @ArthasXfrost at least i dont waste my time being a bitch to those who actually like this type of stuff and dont just think because we like this stuff doesnt mean were idiots and seriously dont act like ur all superior and mature,unmature are the people who like 2 pick fights "this is just a disgusting manga from a person who has a mental obsession with spirals" and people who talk pure shit "the only feces that is present are the ones spewing out yo mouth" sounds familiar asshole

  • @peruvianamerican101 its 'immature' not 'unmature' lawlz LOL and U were the one that picked a fight

    all i did was warn u about this manga and u replied with curse words

    talk bout immaturity lol

    yes U are the only one talking "pure shit" becuz u need to resort to curse words which means U are wasting time "being a bitch"

    im a "bitch" who talks "pure shit" cuz i just told u wat this manga is about?

    lol u got issues bro take a chill pill

    later

  • 0:33 looks like jay chou

  • Dude,reading the manga version is dangerous to your mental health.

  • @Wrath801 Amen to that. I'm not easily spooked, but this manga creeped me out. Read it at your own risk.

  • Comment removed

  • i have already finished the manga and it give me nightmares for 2 days,. it's very weird and in the manga,. the snail people has been eaten by some people infected with spiral.. i was shocked with that part,.

  • OK, I read the manga and I had a nightmare one night. I never get nightmares. I'm kind of afraid to see the movie, lol.

  • i reamember reading this when i was 12-13, now i'm seriously afraid of snails, spirals and fricky pottery :; (

  • The comic was awesome, The artist that drew it is a master of Asian style Bauhaus...

    It's like a more adult/Mature version of Japanese Identity/Consumerism and the weird trends that happen in large groups...

    In America things like body alteration and cults aren't that big but in japan, because of the amount of people that there are you have MILLIONS of people doing things for social popularity, and if your there amongst them when the culture wave hits then it's like the comic...

  • The movie sounds so creepy and cool, but I'd rather rent it first and see it before I shell out $30 'cause I'm aprehensive of how I might take the violent scenes...I'm a scaredy-cat... ^_^0

  • @TriforceWarrior You might want to check out the manga at your library first. If they don't have it, they might be able to order it. Although if you scare easily, you might want to avoid it altogether because... well... just take my word for it.

  • Now I'm gonna watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!

  • if you've read the manga, it probably have scarred you for the rest of your life. I haven't really watched the movie myself but i know the manga is always better compared to various adaptations. read TOMIE as well :D it's also by junji ito

  • I was very excited for this movie, then i WATHED IT: this movie isnt good, it isnt scary, and its just BOORING, seriously, and yes i do understand this is a special type of movie, but i have watched many movies of this type, but this one just let me down, BIG TIME... : /

  • beh, the movie seem really cheesy. the manga is way better imo. they need to make a movie off gyo now with a bigger budget

  • Wow

    

  • soo where's Naruto ^^ ?

  • @XaosSama Are you kidding?! Sorry you can't find Naruto here. :P

    This is Uzumaki trailer, a horror movie... not about the yellow ninja, Uzumaki Naruto.

  • Thre really is a spiral in your body. It's in your ear.

  • @MysteriousBrownEyes1 SO CLAW OUT YOUR EAR

  • @kyrakyramyra Then you'd lose your sense of balence and everything'd spin.

  • @MysteriousBrownEyes1 Oh my- so then the whole world would be a spiral? D= (Assuming you don't die of blood loss/infection first.)

  • @kyrakyramyra Yup, happened in the manga. D:

  • @MysteriousBrownEyes1 Ah, yes, the mother! I remember now. Good times.

  • Movie sucks horribly compared to the manga thats all I can really say made me sad.

  • i am about to watch it

  • awesome!!!

  • I can't even look at cinnamon buns anymore without thinking..... "SNAIL PEOPLE..."

  • my fav manga

  • @siapajoyahyus Mine too, ever. Junji Ito is a hero :D

  • that manga is very creepy and make me sick but I want to watch it... because those story is so crative for me.. how can people become a spiral.......

  • What the hell?

    I never saw the manga or the movie but this seems creepy!

    So, this was the first time I saw the "fantrailer", can anyone explain me what's the movie or the manga about?

  • @fanaticforanime

    The manga is vastly superior and extremely creepy. The power of the spiral consumes the town, warping the minds and bodies of the residents.

    Can't really say anything without spoilers...

    You can find it online, loads of places.

  • @igneousfizzlebottom I just bought the first volume

  • Doesn'y Kuro mean black in japanese?

  • @MysteriousBrownEyes1 It sure does... one does normally say kuroi but the i can sometimes be left out...

  • @xacoi

    nah im just droping some trollbait ^^

  • @xacoi if it's kuroi it's an adjective, without the 'i' it's a noun.

  • @MysteriousBrownEyes1 kuro=noun kuroi=adjective 

  • @MysteriousBrownEyes1

    Yes, you are right. In fact, Kurozu Town means in Japanese ' the town of the dark vortex'.

  • @MysteriousBrownEyes1 yeah the whole name of the city means something like "black Vortex "

  • @MysteriousBrownEyes1 yes kuro means black in japanese

  • I liked the manga better,there were a lot of scenes that would be truly terrifying that got cut out.....

  • asian horror films are frightening amreican horrow films ar bloody... theres a differnce

  • (typed fast)

  • :3 Nice background music. Where is it from?

  • @vermilionha I looped some of the audio from the film... it's from the start were she's running, if you listen closely you can hear her breath and steps.

  • @xacoi It made it considerably more creepy.

  • @xacoi

    Can you find out who sings it or something ?

    Is this song on youtube?:O

  • @nastazio12 The sounds you hear is a tune, as far as I know, so there's only the music, no vocals. I've put up an extended version of the tune on youtube, on my channel. It's about 1:20 long and is called Strange Noises. However, I doesn't know if such a thing as official Uzumaki OST exist.

  • I go to a college for animation and illustration and a couple of girls who are really into Manga brought a copy of the book to school and damn was it freaky! Every panel looked like something out of a nightmare and for some reason, it was impossible to look away.

  • @FantasmaLuna Well I know what you mean.

  • The manga had me having "spiraling" nightmares. How entirely epic.

  • The Manga Is Really Good [:

    Nice Trailer

  • 1:16 xDDD Epic xD

  • The manga had me and my homie priest twisted in its psycological downward spiral of impending doom but in the end we laid down and accepted the spiral so we began twining into a thick dread like strand it was what we wanted

  • The manga had me and my homie priest twisted in its psycological downward spiral of impending doom but in the end we laid down and accepted the spiral so we began twining into a thick dread like strand

  • Bizarre, creepy and i love it.

  • After reading the manga...maybe...that itself is infected with the spiral...

    ....nah jk, but seriously I was addicted to it hahaha.

  • The movie was very memorable and it was pretty awesome :)

  • Good movie :)

  • looks amazing and the music is WOW!!!

  • This manga. Was the second most addicting manga i've read. it was the perfect story. But yeah..some parts made me want to vomit. Loved the manga!

  • ....i bet one day some one is going to decide to make uzumaki a movie in america...or any of junji ito's manga's even though americans have done a good job making the asian horror films in america they are actually scarier i have to admit....

  • If you have originally read the manga -- you will be GREATLY disappointed by this movie. I nearly wanted to cry, they butchered the story so terribly. If you haven't read the manga, do so. It's also called Uzumaki -- By Junji Ito. He's genius.

  • @itisVIP toootally agree everything you just said

  • the movie is just ridiculous =( the scenes of soichis dad are cool at least! all that scenary with the spirals and all... cool. Manga is better. Waaaaaay better. By movie, I prefer the devils right hand, gods left hand, from umezu....

  • The movie was cool but nothing compared to the insanity that existed in the comic novels. By the time you get to the third novel, you're already developing a fear of spirals.

  • It was a nice film, but lame compared to the manga. Why didn't they waited for the final manga to make the film instead of making it with the 2nd manga released only? Why, god, why?

  • 0.22 Looks a bit like the school from suicide club.

  • lol I saw the movie with some friends ...I was laughing so hard ...the scary scenes was ...not scary at all XDDDDDDDDDDD

  • w...t...f...O.o

  • This movie looks weird.,

  • I was so scared that when I needed to take a bath. I needed my friend to sit in the toilet playing with her phone while I was taking a bath with the curtains infront of me. Holy shit that was the worst day of my life. x_x I planned to get rid of my spiral earrings dresses and other stuff..... Oh god someone help xD.

  • @Anya20879 did you watch the water spiral down the drain?

  • one thing i'm gonna do is not watch this movie

    the manga scared me to death ( i was stupid enough to read it

    late at night T_T and i dreamed of them >.< )

  • holy shit, this is creepy D:>

  • @bianka173 Man, you should try reading the manga. I read a bit of it in a book store once and felt like if I ever saw a spiral again I would scream. It's right terrifying.

  • omg!!! That's sooo unfair! Shuichi was such a handsome guy in the manga, and in the movie he sucks!!! Not to mention Kirie, but, nah, the actress is kAwaii.

    The manga is really scary. Gotta say that the scariest chapter for me was "Jack in the box". My fave chapter is "Completion". I just love the moment Shuichi and Kirie embrace each other and stay united <3.

  • You know, I hate everything from china,japan or whatever but I must admit the comic was good, really scary.

  • Hmm...is it just me or is the background music kinda strange? Like...i dunno. A breathy girl or something. I don't know, maybe I was hearing things...

    Anyways, I'm currently reading this manga and I totally love it. My friends say I'm demented for reading it (and even liking it) but whatever. When one of my friends told me there was a movie I was so excited. But I wanna finish the manga first. I don't wanna ruin it. Haha.

  • @xXxNarutoFanGirlxXx I was also hearing that breathing sound :O

  • @1a2b3cl Glad i wasn't the only one hearing it. I thought i was going crazy.

  • The manga may have fucked me up for life.

  • @DemonWarp65

    I didn't think it was too bad...

    til I got to the part where the guys talking about climbing inside the snail's shell and chewing its face. For some reason that really messed me up.

  • @DemonWarp65 your not the only one

  • @DemonWarp65

    Lol, I remember my first attempt reading it - coudn't even finish the first chapter because his eyes scared me sooo much xD

  • @DemonWarp65

    ame here, my friend, same here >.>

  • @DemonWarp65 whats a manga ?

  • @lesterclaypool1 manga is basically the japanese word for comics.

  • @DemonWarp65 My friend got me the 1st volume of the manga for my birthday. I read either the 2nd or 3rd (whichever one where people were turning into snails) in the bookstore and had a nightmare D:. I never get nightmares...

  • @DemonWarp65 Or maybe the one where the boy got fucked up by a car because he had a crush on the main girl. Either way, it freaked me out

  • @DemonWarp65 Don't worry, it has fucked other people before you.

    And it won't stop... sooner or later, it will fuck someone else up.

    And again... and again... and again...

  • I´ve reed this manga

    it´s fucked up

  • this manga was demented as shit!...had me slightly paranoid

  • @AppleLatte same here dude.. but only thing that has me really paranoid is the Drr Drr Drr from his other manga.

  • the manga is a masterwork

  • SINCE I READ THIS, I HATE SPIRALS.

  • @Groudonmaster687

    Do not hate spirals. My friend after got completely drunked on Time Square hate squares:-)

    The original comic is exciting. But to enjoy this you have to know of Uzume mystic from Amaterasu legend.

    Without that this looks like incomprehensible psychedelic trip.

  • @Groudonmaster687 watch Gurren Lagann and be confused

  • i like the manga. i have it.

  • the reason for the movie not finishing the same as the manga (wich is infinitely more awesome than the movie) is because the movie started production at the same time as the maga was being written, so there was no ending to the manga when the movie was released. I highly recommend the manga to people who are interested, it's just better and freaks me out even to this day ( dont' trust the spirals!)

  • Holy cow!! someone really going to put that manga into movie!?

  • wired film @@

  • @Direngrey1989 for Dir en grey fan it should be interesting ;3 look at me :D

  • wired fim @@

  • LOVE THIS MANGA

  • film is ok, nothing great

  • Love the manga, is the movie any good?

  • It is CUTE they were in a trance

  • 0:58 I lol'd

  • The movie was gay, I have to say you would have to be pretty gay or high to be scared of this movie. I like the manga though.

  • Love the book sooooo much

  • SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MOVIE AND THE MANGA ABOUT?

  • @amyourpapi23 it is a horror story based off of a town driven mad by spirals, soon the spirals start to invade their life as well and kill people, some are turned into snail people(as shown) and even the herione is affected when her hair spirals up and hypnotizes anyone who veiws it, it seems alot was taken out and i highly recomend the book it is truly chilling

  • @parapara73 I read the entire manga and it was really good. I highly recommend that those who haven't read it MUST read it! Though I must issue a warning to those with weak hearts and those easily influenced by horror not to read it. It can get very chilling. Especially when you can never look at spirals the same way again after reading >)

  • @MidnightDragon5 Not to mention some of the most nauseating thing you can never unsee!

  • OMG When I went to go to the bathroom to take a bath I needed a friend to sit in the toilet listening to her Ipod while I was behind the curtains taking a shower. It was so embarrising, and I was scared like shit.

  • I doubt i won't leave this movie without an headache .

  • Guys I've watch a lot of Asian Horror, Thriller and other sorts of weirdness, and to tell you honestly, I think this is one that is not worth watching. Highly disappointing really, but the manga is really awesome please read it.

  • @KayHeL so whats your best horror asian film i like to know

  • @fireball420 That's a hard question!!! ^^ There is so many I can't decide!!! Maybe The Sisters (Thailand), I watched it years ago but I can't keep some images out of my head. I am still looking for the ultimate horror movie!

  • @KayHeL oh cool i'll look it up have you seen OLDBOY it's also made in thailand the USA was going to remake it but we the fans say no!

  • @fireball420 is that one a horror movie? it looks like an action movie.

  • @KayHeL it's a action,horror, and a mind fuck

  • The manga is AMAZING, freaked me out for days! lol

    I hate spirals now ..

    But I have to say that I was dissapointed on the movie. It is a good movie. But the manga beats up the movie like hell lol.

    Wonder if they'll ever make a movie with the vampire babies...hope so! ...even if I'll be freaked out for weeks :'D

  • @ChibiLunii I agree. I stayed up ALL night reading it. Then read ''Gyo'' ( Another manga created by the creator of '' The Spiral'' That one is pretty good aswell. It dosent have the haunting complexity of ''Uzumaki'' but its worth reading.

  • I read the manga Uzumaki, it's kind of weird.

  • I love the background music. Where did you get it?

  • for thos out there who are thinking of watching this, or even wondering if its good.

    this movie sucked huge monkey balls. its a piece of crap.i wasted 16 dollars on this, i wouldnt pay 5 dollars on this if i knew before hand. this movie really sucks. it took me about three tries to watch this movie i kept falling asleep. this movie sucks as much as "Disaster movie". just read the manga its fucking amazing and fucks your head up and makes you become partially obsessed with spirals.

  • I don't like the translation of vortex its SPIRAL!

  • question but i read the manga already and was wondering if this is worth watching?

  • @keithschnur111 this movie sucks. i have it and i also have the manga. dont waste your time on this piece of shit movie. the effects arealso stupid.

  • I love showing the manga to ppl who get easily freaked out

  • @rawrmonster1000

    LOL yeah! I do that too!

    one of my friends gets freaked out easiy, so i'm gonna show her the manga!

    I have all 3.

  • the manga is great. this movie is a piece of shit. i paid for this piece of crap movie. stick with the manga. seriously.

  • @tedyesca it looks like its crap. the trailer wasnt very good. it didnt grab me i own all three books and was wondering if this was worth while

  • @yankee82090 it is crap. i bought the movie cause i have the manga of this and gyo, dont bother with it. they changed a lot of it. dont waste time on a crap film.

  • @yankee82090 thanks for the heads up i was gonna order this movie though amazon.com so it would have cost me more with the shipping and handligh. It's just the manga is soo good that it would be great to turn it into a film but i guess its impossible. I mean the trailer doesnt capture my attention. do you know if tomie is better? i have the tomie collection too.

  • The soundtrack kinda reminded me of spirals o.O

  • I LOVED the manga....

    Still yet to see the movie, though.

    >_>

  • Is the scene from the manga of the pregnant women and vampire babies in here? that part freaked me out in the manga o.o

  • i read the manga and though it wasnt super scary but i still have this slight paranoia of spirals now. this fear doesnt go BOO! it creeeps and lays in your subconcious playing you just at the moment you think you forgot about it

  • @goodiegoodie94 yeah. like... I'm not terrified by them like Shuichi's mom, but, they do creep me out, now! i saw a giant lollipop in the store and i just kept glancing at it!

    like it was gonna eat me!

  • freaky manga

  • @Ballira:

    The manga does answer more of it and its really good better then the Movie :D

    you should read it lol

  • @Ballira

    the manga does answer it :D and its really good better then the movie

  • this looks like a horror movie for someone on drugs. 8D

  • @TrueDeathless It plays out like one, too. But it's actually pretty interesting, once you get beyond the initial start. Though the whole thing isn't really explained in the end it's actually based on a manga series by the same name. I kinda wondered if maybe the manga had more of an answer to it. =x

  • Junji Ito makes all kinds of...disturbing...things. If you want to start of with one of his more normal things, read The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

  • @mangakid19 And after that if you can find it, try Gyo.

  • @Lightspeeds i have gyo and uzumaki, gyo was a huge cliffhanger, uzumaki is better.

  • No two hour movie could ever do Uzumaki justice. I hate mangas and comics in general, but I was blown away by this story and everything by Junji Ito so far. Skip the movie and buy the books.

  • hey it's that pevert from exte

    he-ah he-ya my he-ah he-ya

    Ren Osugi

  • it sucks, that naruto appears when u enter uzumaki

    fuck naruto
