This made me look up the little boy to see what he is up to now and well... I am super impressed! Went to UCLA at the age of 13 and graduated with a perfect GPA! Graduated from Harvard Law and has worked as an attorney to the US Justice Department, US House of Representatives, the MPAA, and a whole lot more.....AND he still acts doing small roles like a soldier in the 7th season of Game of Thrones. .. boy do I feel lazy lol

Wow what a young genius

this film is drenched in horror. it has a few jumpscares but it doesn't *rely* on them it's the Tone / Cinematography / audio design. There's a certain sense of dread that never lets go.

Definitely freaked me out in the movie theater.

Samara has the ability to burn images into people’s minds and objects (the tape), which is why she drove her mother crazy enough to kill her. She also did it to the horses and caused them to commit suicide. She was also adopted and not the Morgan’s biological child. The term “She never sleeps” means that even after physical death, she is still able to burn these images and go as far as scare people to death, literally. Before you die, you see everything she saw before she did.

She never sleeps because she quite literally never sleeps, which is why you see the tape from the hospital where she's just constantly awake and moving for hours on end, she's evil and manipulative, she says the horses keep her up but she doesn't sleep, she killed them out of malice because she felt her father loved the horses more than her, she's evil incarnate which is why she admitted to wanting to hurt people and that she'll never stop.

@@dontreadmyprofilepicture8817I disagree about the sleep part. I don’t think that “not sleep” started until the whole horse situation. I’m not excusing her killing the horses . But if YOUR parents liked an animal more than you, I’m sure you’d be pissed too. As far as the evil thing, THIS is why Samara needs a prequel since ppl don’t understand her origins. Her birth mother tried to drown her as an infant because she was born with a demon curse. Samara may have used her free choice to do things BUT we don’t know what her desires would’ve been if she were born a normal human. And I will ALWAYS stand by this point. Don’t get me wrong I love her as a villain, but I only hold her accountable for things she COULD control; not things she couldn’t. The Japanese Ring has a prequel

Saw this movie at home by myself. And when it ended my phone rang. I screamed like a little kid.

As far as the father saying 'she wasn't supposed to have children' was because all of their pregnancies failed. Then when they got a child, that child was severely disturbed and ruined their lives. She put visions in their and the horses heads and drove the mother to insanity. He seems to retroactively be saying that it was fate that his wife wasnt meant to have a child. I dont believe it was Samara's fault, but she was possessed/evil from the beginning. She wanted to hurt people and she drove the horses crazy because her father favored them. Also the way to escape is that Rachel made a copy and then Aiden watched the copy. You must make a copy of the tape and have a new person watch that copy to survive. Rachel was safe from the moment Aiden watched the tape. Noah watched the original, so he died on schedule.

He had to rig the device in the bathtub the way he did. Contrary to pop media, appliances that fall into water dont necessarily kill for a few reasons, the first is because electricity seeks the shortest path, thus, it wont necessarily kill. Second, the fuse box may short and modern outlets are designed to short circuit upon such scenarios.

The curse skips a victim if they make a copy of the tape. Earlier in the movie Rachel makes a copy not knowing she’s released herself but I’m not sure why she was still being haunted 🤷‍♀️

12:42 - I tried explaining that to my little sister, we weren’t allowed to use the internet- she was just flabbergasted 😂

Another great one. Also liking the scriptures written on your T-shirt Brother Knight 😂 I know it's VERY different than the films you normally watch. But maybe check out the fan made film of Helsreach? Hope everyone is having an amazing week & much love to all from here in the UK

They made a copy. That's why they lived. Samara wanted to be heard. So a copy means it's spreading the message regardless if they show anyone.

Oooooh. *gets comfy*

9:35 "I don't think she's going to have the nap she talked about." 😆

Rachel was safe once Aiden saw the copy of the tape, even though Rachel didn’t mean for him to see it and threw it under the couch. The only way to avoid the curse is to make a physical copy of the tape and show it to someone else before your seven days are up. Samara was evil from the beginning. In the Japanese movie, Ringu (1998) I believe Sadako (Samara) was conceived by the mother, but the biological father of Sadako may have been a Japanese water demon or something. Kind of Rosemary’s Baby type of thing.

Samara was pretty honest when her doctor questioned her. The doctor said, "You don't want to hurt anyone." And Samara replied, "But I do and I'm sorry!" So evil was just part of her nature. That's why her mother had to kill her.

Yes Rachel and Aiden are spared because they made a copy and showed it to someone else, helping Samara spread her curse.

The Grudge is a great movie, too. My favorite horror movie, actually. It’s easy to get it mixed with The Ring because both villainous entities are based on the Japanese folklore of vengeful spirits called onryo. When it comes to The Ring, I like the Japanese original better (Ring, or Ringu), which I think is worth a watch if you like the American version.

Greetings from your fans in New Mexico.

One of the rare instance, of proper American adaption. Not solely relaying on jumpscares.

Thanks for another fun reaction.😊 I really love to sit in & watch movies with you guys. I wonder why no one watches the original versions of these horror films that were remade by Hollywood just a few years after? I get it, it's great to have a western studio budget, big stars & English-language, but part of why the Japanese films are so amazing is how genuinely terrifying the films were with very little to work with. (I'd also throw in 2008's brilliant LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, from Sweden, as another great international thriller where many folks only know about its 2010 US remake). Either way, I am grateful for the all the great overseas content you do grace us with (In their proper languages, too!😁). I know we're almost done with Halloween, but I'd love to recommend one of the scariest movies I've ever seen; a 1999 (1 year after RINGU) film by one of Japan's most famous & prolific directors, Miike Takashi, called AUDITION. For many years, that was our Halloween tradition. Feel free to double feature with Bong Joon-ho's Sci-Fi Horror Dramedy, THE HOST, 2016's unforgettable THE WAILING, or 2010's fun Swedish Kaiju TROLL HUNTER👹😱😂

I noticed Mom watching through her fingers. I watched this at home alone in the kitchen on the little tv (in broad daylight). I got farther and farther away from the tv until I was in the corner where the counter makes a V. Couldn't get farther away. I've watched it many times since but there's nothing like the first time. 😳

It's funny because this is the second movie I've seen Naomi Watts pull something long and stringy from out of her throat during a gagging fit. The other movie is The Impossible, with Ewan McGregor and a young Tom Holland. It's about the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. I can't give a high enough recommendation for that movie. It's so so good.

I didn't know, that Hans Zimmer made the music to this film. So thank you for the information.

One of my favorite horror flicks. It is so deliciously creepy, gothic and atmospheric! I saw it premiered at the Horror & Fantasy International Film Festival in Brussels, Belgium. It started very small and is now one of the biggest film festivals in Europe. It is a tradition to make loud comments during the movies at this festival. You will hear things such as Noo! Don't go there you fool! Ahhrgh! Gross! Aye aye aye! For some reason, it doesn't erupt in total chaos, and doesn't spoil the experience. Actually, it enhances it!

Loved your reaction! Thanks so much. I've said this before and must say it again, it's so cute Son & Mom watching Horror Films during Spooky Season! My mom and I do the same! Jen, my mom was just like you during this film. Hand held around the eyes only watching glimpses through the ending. Thank you to you and Nick for a wonderful channel. Lots of Love from Canada! :) Just wanted to share about the movie, in order to survive the cycle (of "The Ring") Rachel made a copy of the tape and showed it to Noah. As Aidan watched the original, he is now required to make a copy and show it to someone else. Thus, the Ring continues. The only way to survive the cycle of the Ring, you need to make a copy of the tape and show it to someone else (within 7 days!). Please watch "Ringu", the Japanese original. Just as scary. However, the US version was better. Alternatively, Ju-On (the Japanese original of "The Grudge") is phenomenal; whereas the US Grudge (w/ Sarah Michelle Gellar) is just adequate. The 2020 US version of the Grudge is simply garbage (but extremely violent and gory).

I think the Grudge has a lot more jump scares iirc. I wasn't really scared of this one, but The Grudge got me in a state of fear lol. Both fun movies though

Here´s a list for you to watch: -Look for Phobia or 4bia,it has also a second movie,it´s a movie of a movie like,4 stories inside of one movie the second movie has 5 diffrerent stories,it's a horror film and also funny aswell you will know why when you see it. -Coming Soon,it´s a Thai movie -The Wig -Stay Alive it has a joystick on the cover,it´s about a game that if you die in the game you die in real life -Monsterman 2008,it has a monster truck on the cover and 3 persons one is a woman,grotesc and funny movie aswell. -Dark Water it´s a japanese movie So there you go a recomendation from me in horror genere.Grettings from Argentina,awesome movie even if it´s not japanese.

The woman who was committed was Samara birth mother. The mother who killed her was her adoptive mother. She wasn't supposed to have a child because it wasn't in the cards for her.

Gee It's still spooky!☠

Watched this at 2 in the morning. Terrible idea. Every time I turned the lights out the old fashioned tv screen at the foot of my bed would glow. And turning on the lights again would just re-energize it. Same mistake with Blair Witch, but at least it didn't feature a tv in a pivotal scene.

Samara crawling out of the TV still gives me chills even tho I know it's going to happen. So creepy. Great movie. If you like Naomi Watts you should react to the movie Shut Ins..

How are you gonna come after me if it does get you killed? 😂 I guess haunt me forever as ghosts? 😬😰

Basically Samara was always evil. She was putting images in her mother’s head making her go crazy and that’s why she killed her.

12:17 "oh. like a lighthouse." 😮

This always begs The question, how far would you go to protect your child? Would you show the tape to somebody else, Knowing that it will kill them, but it would save your child. I think most parents probably would. Or at least as long as they could choose who they showed it to. I'd go out and find a pedophile or a drug dealer. Or some bad guy and have them see it. I'm in if I had to protect my child. Because I never said that it mattered who it was that you made the copy for. Maybe go on a little vigilante justice. Lol

I've always preferred this movie over the Grunge

I just think that the husband was referring to the fact that his wife was having trouble conceiving and then the one time she did she lost the baby. Perhaps nature's way of saying that she wasn't supposed to have children.

Not sure if you guys have watched the tsunami movie with Niomi Watts

Hi beautiful people..lovelovelove ❤️🌈✌🏻🌸

I personally don't like the second Ring movie (I just find the main human plot extremally frustrating), but if you want some answers, you can skip straight to Rings (which is the third movie). Many people don't think it's very good, but I like it and it does give both the 'what now' (present) and the origin story of Samara.

It crawls into the mouth and dislocates the jaw.

17:08 - a very crappy one tbh 😂, anything would be better 😂

That's another movie that she pulled out of her mouth. She does it in the tsunami movie too.

Not bad but I prefer the original japanese movie

I watched it for the first time earlier this year. No, I did not like it! Really boring, imo, and the green filter made me feel sick all the way through. I do hope the Japanese original is worth the watch tho. Does anyone recommend it?

The Japanese version, Ringu, is definitely a better movie. I’ve never found this particular story scary, but it’s well told in Ringu and you get more explanation for what happened with Sadako/Samara. It’s worth watching, I think. Unsettling and atmospheric.

Sigh, should've done the original, it's way better.
