The horror is both faceless and personal. Like many great works, Uzumaki starts from perhaps the simplest premise, a shape, and builds it out into a sprawling narrative that seems to make so much wicked sense.

Anything can be made artistic, and move you to joy or fear. Uzumaki is a masterful example of the latter.
