Reminds me of Junju Ito’s manga, Uzumaki, a masterful horror piece which involves a town becoming consumed with spirals, anyone else read/seen it?

I've seen the film. Interesting atmosphere, digital effects are somewhat dated (think 90ies video), practical effect are fine. I am not a manga reader, so it may have flown over my head.

I really enjoyed the post and yes immediately thought of Uzumaki. I think it’s my favorite thing that he’s done.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to find a reference to a horror manga in the comments of my post about (what I believed to be) innocuous spirals! That's amazing, although I'm too squeamish to try and read it!

He makes interesting horror stories. I don't usually like horror but I have read some of his work. Another one, by him, that has stuck with me is a bonus story of Gyo called The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

Cannot see spirals without thinking about Uzumaki. And by considering all his work, saying Junji Ito is a master of horror isn't an overstatement.

no but now I might :)

ps: how funny, your description reminded me of a nightmarish manga about a strange hole in a mountain, and .. it was by junji ito https://www.scaryforkids.com/enigma-of-amigara-fault/ (I forgot who the author was until right now)

Was just coming here to say this - probably a bit gory for some when it comes to body horror but very cool manga!
