A Compilation Of Horror Clips From Anime 'Uzumaki' Released By Netflix, More Details

The Netflix Anime YouTube account just recently released a clip compilation for an animated horror series that shows off how something as inconspicuous as a spiral can cause so much harm and anxiety to an entire town. The series is called 'Uzumaki', a series based on a manga of the same name by horror writer Junji Ito, and the teaser clip from it can be watched below.

For those that are big fans of the work of Junji Ito and his horror manga, or those of you that are curious about what this show has to offer, here are some of the things you should know about 'Uzumaki: Animated TV Series'.

Plot Details Of The Animated Horror Series 'Uzumaki'

Netflix has described the upcoming horror animated series 'Uzumaki' in the following manner, "Strange occurrences are happening in the town of Kurouzu-cho... Eyes are rolling, tongues are coiling, bodies twist unnaturally. Can anyone escape the curse of the spirals?"

For those that have read the original manga or other mangas by Junji Ito already know this, but the series is expected to have a grotesque amount of body horror so those that feel queasy just thinking about it should think twice before watching. That being said, for those that love the creative and thematic use of body horror will very much enjoy the series.

The story shows how the Uzumaki infects the psyche and affects the characters in the story, making them deeply disturbed and often dangerous. Uzamaki roughly translates to spiral or swirl from Japanese to English. In the clip above, it can be seen how a spiral has infected a young woman, carving a hole in her head that seems to swallow anything and everything.

Things only get more disturbing from here on out.
