Title: Chopped Off with a Knife
Product review: I could not believe the ending to this DVD. The first 110 minutes were a fairly faithful adaptation of the first volume of the three volume Uzumaki manga series. The film explores the characters and begins the builup of creepiness. Then, the pace quickens. The slime-geeks are given short shrift. The effect of the mud on the heroine's father is unexplained. Then, the film just ends. There is no resolution of anything raised theretofore in the film. The part where her boyfriend yells "It's got me" is not in the manga. And then his face turns demonic as in some cheapo horror flick. And that's just it. A bunch of pictures of (I guess) the "effects" of the spiral on the townsfolk are paraded across the screen and nothing else. This totally ruined the film. It seems as if they intended to do a multi-part film with sequeals covering all three volumes of the manga because they covered most of the first one, but then ran out of money and just slapped the ending on as best they could.
