No one wanted to find Samara. Like the doctor said, when she went missing, things on the island got better. Samara projected images into peoples' heads and it drove Anna and the horses mad. The cabin was built on top of the well, and the TV was sitting right on top of Samara's grave. She projected the images into the tape and it spread from there.

Still Gore Verbinski's best film to date. Although, I would have liked it if he'd included more of the mythology from the original Japanese version, Ringu, explaining that the girl had psychic powers all along.

This movie is one of my all time favs, i was obsessed when it first came out, it's so well directed and expands upon the original Ringu really well, i hope they revive the franchise one day, they are still pumping out Ringu moviee in Japan, last one was even a comedy.

When my Asian girlfriend gets out of the shower it always gives me ring vibes haha

I had forgotten about this movie, amazing it still makes me shudder.

7:23 well yeah, Cabin in the Woods taught us that trope, "its because you're young".

Love the video Mary stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way

Great now I’ll never watch lilo and stitch the same way again.

She was slow in bringing the phone to her ear so she only heard 7 days.

Be happy you didn't watch the original Japanese version called Ringu. That one is so much more scarier than the American version, it made me look under my bed before sleeping and I love most horror

The scene of the girl in the closet petrified me as a kid. The fact you rolled it within the first 10sec of this vid brought back child trauma I didn’t think I had😳😂

The Ring is a psychological thriller masterpiece.

Keep in mind, Samara's actress also voiced Lilo in Lilo & Stitch

This film is one of my all-time favorite theater experiences. To see this film in a packed house was absolutely magical. It's a slow build, with deepening tension throughout, and when she climbed out of that TV I think everyone about pooped themselves. When the film ended and rolled credits, the entire theater was stone silent and shaking. Some dude down front just said "fuuuuu..." and everyone just cracked up laughing. Stellar. Ring 2 is worth watching!

This movie was (indirectly) the scariest thing to ever happen to me. After watching it with my wife, and getting a few nice jump-scares, we had gone to bed. My then setup had a DVD player/stereo receiver that was the the main point of the entertainment center (very early 2000's), and would shut itself off after an hour or so being idle - the thing is, if you left the TV on it would default to static when the DVD player shut down. Which it did. LOUDLY. Right when I was walking to the kitchen from my bed to get a drink of water, and had me jump sideways clear out of my skin. White noise will never be so terrifying.

Samara is just a spiteful, vengeful spirit that wants her curse to spread. That's it. The only reason Rachel survived is because she made the copy that Aiden watched.

The movie that traumatized me for years when a was a teen 😅

What I truly, truly love about this remake is the final reveal that Samara isn't just a vengeful spirit. She was a vengeful child. A sadistic supernatural child. Becoming a spirit so you can keep hurting people must be heaven for her. Just living her best afterlife. I know evil kids aren't all that uncommon of a phenomenom in horror fiction. But when I first came across this movie, I wasn't really a horror fan. And that reveal was so unsettling. To see that cute little girl smirkingly answer "You don't want to hurt anyone" with a "But I do, and I'm sorry. It won't stop". So creepy. So good.

Okay, something I find hilarious; The idea that Samara is making these calls, and in Noah's case, also leaving voicemails. A patient soul willing to listen to someone's answering machine before dropping her death wish. I can almost seen her rolling her wet eyes while waiting🙄😂

Director Gore Verbinski maintains a consistently unsettling mood and look to the film. For a remake and a modern Hollywood horror, it's pretty good.

Samara is played by Daveigh Chase, who was the voice of Lilo in _Lilo and Stitch_

"That's a weird lift." It's a Freight Elevator. They're typically used for transporting large items (like furniture) or a mass of smaller items (like moving boxes). Old warehouses are often renovated into residential apartment buildings, hence the high ceilings and open floor plans.

ppl have to get the dvd when it came out...one of the special extras was that u could play the whole version of the tape, then it would lock ur computer from being able to do anything, black out the screen then have a phone ring sound!!😃😁👍🤙🤟

The original Japanese version was much better

The Japanese Ring movies are scarier. They are on Shudder.

Ah maaaan should’ve done the Japanese version, much better overall and scarier

Yes, the Japanese version was better, but if you can't handle movies like that then this version is better to watch. Another great movie with a similar premise is "The Grudge". After watching your reaction videos, you seem to be getting more comfortable watching this genre, this is good because you're going to be able to appreciate the stories and concepts better when you're able to focus more. Anyway, loved the review, love you and tell Lola hi 👋. PS - See you in 7 days muwahahahahahahaha....., just kidding 🤣. Take care and stay safe ❤️. 😊. 🪰

This movie ranked at #20 in the 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo, cool reaction as always Mary, you take care and have a nice day sweetie 🥰❤️

You should watch the original Japanese film. It's much better.

Any chance The Grudge is next? Or is there like a whole process of polls and voting through patreon? Or have you already seen it?

The scariest movies to me are "THE THING" (no like) & "THE RELIC" (That I liked). 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Never found this scary just creepy, kinda like the grudge..

The American version is no way scarier than the Japanese version. The Japanese version is far superior in everyway literally!!!!😱❤🇯🇵🎉

Check out the movie Candyman(1992).

Please watch the original, ringu is way scarier and leagues above this one.

Scary Movie 3 hilariously spoofs this one.

The Japanese version is definitely scarier.

Ooh please watch the sequel! More context!

OK, now that you’ve watched ‘The Ring’, you need to watch ‘scary movie 3’ it’s a parody of this movie, much fun for all to have.

You might like a similar movie, The Grudge, also based on a Japanese film and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar.

sorry, Mary. You've watched the tape...

The Grudge also had Sarah Michelle Gellar and the original was from Japan as well .... Thats scarier than this 😅

That lil kid who seems to be an adult disguised as a small boy haunts my nightmares!

I saw Ringu & thought the American one was better. This is one of my favorite horror movies!

You should totally do your next reaction like 6-inches away from the screen "Ring" style 😅

"The Reaping" is a scary movie you should also watch Mary❤

Fun fact: the actress for Samara is also the voice of Lilo in Lilo and Stitch.

The Ring was one of the scariest films for it’s time. It doesn’t matter if it’s not in Ringus level. It’s good enough. I understand your reaction to this after watching “The Conjuring “. But the Ring had a bigger impact in horror more than MANY other films ppl find scarier. I heard stories of certain ppl leaving the theater, video stores being shut down, ppl becoming afraid of their TVs, the JHorror trend starting in the early 2000s. It also inspired the VHS franchise. The Ring effect was HUGE.

" thats what see does for a living, she's a journalist she uncovers the truth." Your hilarious Sweet Cherry 🍒🍒🍒🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I had The Ring on DVD and they had an extra that was the complete video from the movie. When you played it, it would disable all the buttons on the DVD player so you could not stop it or even turn the power off. It forced you to watch the whole video. Then it went to black for a while and then a phone ringing sound. All before you could do anything else with the DVD. Pretty cool.

One of my favorite horror flicks.

I extremely recommend Exorcist 3!

Wait, someone who recognizes Sara Rue from Popular instead of her more recent stuff? I swear at one point I thought that show was some fever dream, so few people seem to remember it!

For a little horror nostalgia 2 Charlton Heston flicks are fun: “The Omega Man (1971)” and “Soylent Green (1973)”. Both are still disturbing.

Another great 1970s dystopian flick is George Lucas’ classic “THX 1138 (1971)” based on his UCLA film school project.

Compared to the original Japanese film, this version absolutely sucks. I genuinely can't understand how so many people like this film.

This is such a better movie than The Conjuring. Kind of like comparing a masterpiece with a B-movie schlock piece. Like The Grudge it's also based on Japanese folklore/ghost stories.

Hey, Mary Cherry, where the content may vary but still the same old Mary Cherry, how does your garden grow? I still suggest The Secret Garden movie, it's a story about you. I have some sad news, I've already seen the film and I have two days left, thanks for your reactions :evil laugh: nice Halloween pick for the month and nice reaction, glad you finally saw this one. Another horror one should be The Shaft with Naomi Watts and The Impossible with her, Tom Holland, and Ewan McGregor, such a great movie. Bye for now.

It's good,😉 a long with The descent, drag me to hell, terrifier, the three original evil dead, barbarian, the new evil deads are pretty good, Fun house, but the scariest movie since exorcist is, Hereditary!😮😮😮

Comparing the two films is both inevitable and irrelevant. Since 'The Ring' was made in english it was more widely circulated. 'Ringu' was indeed awesome but we are only talking about it because of the polapularity of 'The Ring'.

Samara wasn't an evil entity, she was born with the power to inprint her thoughts on anything. Even as a baby she would unconciously burn images in the mind of people around her. She was never aware she was doing that to her parents and as a result couldn't understand the reason they were treating her like that. After her parents locking her up in the barn she started to have sociopathic tendencies and actively wanted to cause arm to others for no reason, because from her perspective that's how people were treating her. When she died, her ability to inprint her thoughts remained until one day they built a cabin over the well and placed a VHS tape right over it, letting her curse the tape. Samara became purely evil during her 7 days dying in the well.

Yes, _Ringu_ is better because the Japanese prefer their horror to be more suspenseful, while the US audience prefers to have more jumpscares. Different culture means the focus is on different aspects, but since Hollywood has more money, Japanese horror needs to be more creative. If you want to compare it to anything, perhaps _The Shining_ would be a decent comparison. More suspense, more creepy camera angles, that kind of stuff. It makes the movie _unsettling_ rather than scary and horror is at its best when it's unsettling, where the feeling lingers even after you finish the movie. _The Ring_ is honestly just a B-movie to me. They _tried_ and it was a decent movie, but it's just not particularly scary. And if you watch the Japanese version, there's an actual trilogy for this story ;)

When this was first released in theaters I did not want to watch it, but eventually I got around to it with my friends and I ended up seeing it several times. You're awesome, and thank you for taking the time to share this with us. Please be safe, and I can't wait for your next reaction video 🌹

“Why does her hair have to be in front of her face?” LOL Because she based off the JAPANESE Ring. An Onyro has dark hair and white gown

There's a trope in these movies that always gets on my nerves. " If you_____, you'll die". I don't care what it is; watch the movie, say a name 3 times in a dark room, go into the forest, spend the night in a haunted house, etc...I wouldn't do it. But the morons in the movies always do, so I can't feel sorry for them. They all deserve Darwin Awards.

Nice reaction Mary, I thought the color palette added to the creepiness and suspense, great pick for Scary Cherry month. 🥰❤️‍🔥

Maybe it’s because I saw this version first, but I like it much more than the Japanese original. Or maybe it’s just my Naomi Watts crush.

This movie begs The question, what would you do to protect your child? Would you make the copy and have someone watch it, knowing they'd die in a week? So in essence would you sacrifice someone for your child?

Now Mary just needs to watch The Grudge and then.....Scary Movie 3!

Round we go, The world is spinning. When it stops It’s just beginning... *Samara made me do that, I swear!*

Back in November 2002, I took a lady to this movie on a first date. That lady went on to become my wife. Maybe it was trauma bonding? I dunno. This movie scared the shit outta me. She made me feel safe.

The only horror movies I like are basically ghost stories. The problem with them, though, is that they tend to have a happy ending because the protagonist(s) investigate the curse and solve it. The reason why The Ring is one of my favorite horror movies of all time is that they do that, investigating the curse, find the cause, and have that moment of solving it....and it doesn't do anything. The curse continues. The only way to stop it from happening to you is to curse other people, essentially. I refuse to watch any of the sequels, though, as I feel that this doesn't need anything more. Top tier horror that solely relies on spooks (and a couple jump scares, but I'll forgive them for the rest of the movie). Top tier!

The story of this movie is a fair adaptation of the original Japanese film, but they really changed fundamental points to make it work better for a western audience. I have to say they did a great job at doing that, but I will always prefer the original. They kind of moved away from the meaning of the original in that the “ring” wasn’t the last thing she saw, but instead the cyclic ring of copying the curse and passing it on, so it endlessly repeats. They changed the story enough so that they’re completely different from each other so I can actually love both films as they are, with this one being more in-your-face horror style than the Japanese version which was very, very focused on the slow intense build and psychological torture of waiting. I recommend seeing the sequel as well as the original Japanese version and its sequel.

The Ring was super good when it came out. Such a neat idea. It was definitely fresh at the time, but it spawned a ton of movies that tried to copy it. it's still really good though.

In the deleted scenes it's stated Samara is their biological child. It's implied Mrs. Morgan conceived through unnatural means. So Mr. Morgan was right his wife was not meant to have a child.

I never cared for The Ring. Maybe I should watch Ringu.

Ring 2 is... not good. If you want something similar, The Grudge is great!

Journalists uncover the truth? Huh. Seriously though, one of my favorite scary movies.

No one found her body because everyone in their small town agreed that her disappearance was for the best. Like the lady said “when you get a cold in a small town, it becomes everyones cold.”

You really need to watch Ringu and Ju-on in Japanese. The American versions are like 10% at best.

That's a freight elevator. Most of these condos in the US (especially near downtown of big cities) are converted warehouses.

You should check out the Japanese original. It's better.

38:30 - they don't have to actually show the copied video to an innocent person. Surely Rachel can find some lowlife ass out there, maybe some kiddie fiddler, get them to watch the copy and save her son that way.

Be glad you didn't watch this when TVs still went static. Post-2003 nothing was scarier than the TV going static.

You not understand J Horror, specially the Onryo myth, this aren't like western ghosts, here there is no resolution, no happy ending, ones you encounter a Onryo in her territory or mess up with her possessions, you are cursed for life, and she would chase you down to the end of the Earth and kill you, make you disappear from the face of the Earth or you are a innocent bystander drive you mad.

I'd forgotten all about this one (and Ringu). I dug both of them, back in the day. Thanks for reminding me of this one!

The blinking intro always freaks me out 😑😐 I don't know why

i think this movie is innovative but i think its overrated. and it open the flood gates for merican remakes of japanese ghost movies for years after. until paranormal activity changed everything.

This movie is quite good, but personally I like the japanese original better.

That was funny, you called it a "giant horse" even though it was just a regular sized horse

As part of the scary month, I propose several horror films - Smile, Malignant, Night House, Talk to me, new Boogeyman, M3gan.

Samara wasn't evil she had a evil spirit attached to her. her mother tried to drown her when she was born to get rid of the voices she was hearing from the demon i guess. I'm not sure if the demon gave her powers but Samara had the ability to burn images from her dreams or thoughs on to things. It's called nensha. Great truly sad in my opinion.

Samara tortured her mom so much it drove her to murder her despite her being all she ever wanted. It has echoes of changeling-stories where the fairy changeling exhausts the mother to death.

There’s a ring 2 that continues the story with these characters. It’s worth checking out.

A really good creepy movie is the original Night of the Living Dead.

37:05 didnt they? Could have sworn they showed Noah's face when i watched it all those years ago...

Choosing who youre gonna share the tape with shouldn’t be that hard as LONG as you tell them to make a copy

You should check out The Grudge, now, another J-horror classic.

something wrong with ur movie copy O_o strange colors
