Four episode anime adaptation of the Junji Ito manga.
Kurozu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed.

It manifests itself in small ways: seashells, ferns, whirlpools in water, whirlwinds in air. And in large ways: the spiral marks on people's bodies, the insane obsessions of Shuichi's father, the voice from the cochlea in your inner ear. As the madness spreads, the inhabitants of Kurouzu-cho are pulled ever deeper, as if into a whirlpool from which there is no return...

Hope led me into a downward spiral of disappointment. Junji Ito will NEVER receive a good anime adaptation.
