I think any element of horror and discomfort comes less from the thing itself, and any explanation of it, and more from the character's reaction to it - it's more about the mental state and the uneasiness that accompanies it than anything else. There's something I find deeply discomforting and freaky about the idea of being inexorably drawn to something as harmful and destructive and painful as all that, to the point that it's almost as though you're compelled for no explicable reason. That's something I find pretty scary, and I think that mental states like that one are where a lot of the effectiveness of Junji Ito's manga comes from. No, of course it's not plausible, and the end is pretty hilarious taken out of context, but that's not really the point.
