Hey guys we messed up, forgot to add the segment at the end of the video where we actually talk about it; it's already up so reuploading would just be a pain so I made the full version public on our Patreon! Anybody can watch it, so if you are interested it's basically the last 10 minutes; we fucked up! :) www.patreon.com/posts/57729523
I almost thought the ending was intentional. Movie ends. "Oooohhhh." Cut. That's about all it deserved. Made a great statement even if an accident.
Why not The Ring original Japanese version? Lol
Heh, I halfway thought it was intentional, too. Now if my phone had rung afterwards, we’d be having words, but… 😂
@@rosewaters2533 that one is waaaay scarier and there's more payoff. They properly go into the backstory. And the scene where she comes out of the tv is far more terrifying in that one
I like your videos 😎👍
i hate how almost nobody ever mentions the extremely unsettling cinematography and color scheme
this movie is drenched in horror. truly creepy stuff, and one of my favorite horror flicks
The visuals and the music in this movie are just amazing. Something most horror movies don't even bother trying to achieve.
There's something special about this horror film for sure
@@stanleyipkis1177 AMEN. It’s rare when remakes are this good
@@zammmerjammer Hans Zimmer is a GENUIS. I love his Score in The Ring
I was fortunate enough to see this movie in the theater on opening night with a packed house. Believe me when I say, EVERYONE SH!T THEIR PANTS when Samara came out the TV. That moment will always stand out to me as one of the biggest thrills I've ever experienced in the cinema. The collective fear and terror in the audience that night was palpable.
Same! The fear that went through my body. I’ll never forget it. I feel like this movie is way scarier back then because the old tv’s still existed. So when I got home I felt creeped out having a tv in room until 7 days later lol. I was fine then lol.
It was amazing.
It was so great in the theatre as a 14 year old, that I went and saw it again before it left cinemas 😂
This american remake had one flaw, they used cgi for samara in the end, which just looks fake in my opinion. The japanese original has a real person came out of the tv... which looks solid and far scarier.
Same here! It was one of my best movie going experiances ^^
“People rent it?”
“This was 2002”
I laughed way too hard at that lmao
I think one other reason why some people are down on this film is because they go into it expecting a traditional horror film when that's not what it is at all. It's a mystery horror film, emphasis on mystery. That's the aspect of the film I enjoy myself, watching the characters put the pieces together.
I think people hated on Hereditary for the same reason. Not that Hereditary was a mystery, but it wasn't a traditional slasher, jump scare flick with lots of blood. But to me, they were both scary.
The Ring is a classic film.
I think that it's all subjective and we should stop the arguing on who is right and wrong and why they make their opinions. Because right now it's "you don't understand" and shit like that. Every single opinion is valid and is NOT about popularity or mob mentality. You like it or you don't, that is how simple it should be. But people are so self centered that they think stuff is underrated or some shit like that because the world doesn't share their experience with ENTERTAINMENT.
THE ONE TIME people SHOULD be totally individualistic and greedy is when it comes to entertainment, but they appease and form opinion based on others. It's ruining the industry and it should go back to "I like this movie and here is why" NOT the "I like this movie and you should too" bullshit.
@@Gnossiene369 I agree that people should like and dislike any piece of entertainment and not be shit on for it. But I don't feel that there's anything wrong with identifying a reason why some (not all) people don't like or dislike that piece of entertainment. That to me is not meant to be a criticism at all.
Another reason might be is that the characters are not likable. The kid creeps you out, the mother sucks, and the father is kind of a douche.
Yep. Samara is evil and the only way to live after watching the tape is to make a copy and show it to someone else before your seven days are up. Rachel inadvertently saved herself by making a copy and showing it to Noah. Samara’s mom killed Samara because Samara was telepathic and putting horrific images (like what’s on the tape) into her parents’ and the horses’ minds. The horses literally drowned themselves to get away from the little girl.
Jim: Thank You.From the Dominican Republic.
And Samara's mother commited suicide over the loss of her horses.
@@jamelramseur hmm. Samaras adoptive mother killer herself AFTER killing her daughter tho. So there maybe one more reason she killed herself
Hmm.
This is why the Ring needs a prequel so ppl can see what REALLY happened at Samara birth
Being born evil isn’t the same thing as being born, getting older and choosing to be evil. Because infants do NOT have the ability to make valid choices yet. This proves Samaras fate wasn’t 100% in her control. In “The Ring 2”, Rachel asks Evelyn “why’d you try to drown your baby?” She answered, “because my baby told me to.” She apparently had a dream or vision. Samara was warning her of the future. She was born with an inner demon and there’s nothing she could do. That’s the one wholesome thing she ever did was trying to stop the wrath she knew she’s bring if not Drowned. Wish more ppl knew this
And she made Noah make a copy to save him.
"I don't care if it's a rerun of the Teletubbies, I'm not watching it"
🤣🤣
- Curtis
That was hilarious! The ironic thing is though the Teletubbies are creepier than Samara.
yeah, that remark had me in stiches!
When Curtis said, "that kid is creepy. Kind of reminds me of Verne Troyer" I totally lost it 😂
Guys I have to tell you about when I went to see this film in the cinema. Just after they showed the full “film” that kills you, someone in the audience called their friends cell phone, and she screamed so loud. But it was just hilarious and a genius thing to do. Love the channel and much respect.
😆😆🤣
lol so much for the “no cell phones during movie” rule
In case there is any confusion about the story of Samara, this is it:
Anna and Richard Morgan, a couple who owned a horse ranch adopted a girl named Samara. The girl was born with a sort of supernatural ability revolving around telekenesis and psychic projection. Basically, she would project her thoughts unintentionally into the minds of anyone around her, in this case her parents. This gave them terrible nightmares and visions, reducing their quality of life. Interestingly enough, Samara had no knowledge of these powers, nor what she was doing to her parents, as it was happening against her will.
Her powers grew as she aged, causing the projections to get worse over time. This began to spill into the town, causing the people in the area to see the same visions and nightmares, and eventually, the towns people began to blame her for everything. They noted that every misfortune they experienced began after she was adopted. Her mother started to lose her sanity, causing her to become more detached, as well as her father.
Her mother began to see a psychiatrist for her nightmares, and her and Samara were referred to a hospital. It was there that they discovered Samara displayed some sort of psychic ability by using her power to burn images onto film.
Realizing that Samara is now aware of her power, but has no desire or will to control it, and wants to hurt her parents out of spite, her father locked her away in the barn, where she was unable to sleep, due to the horses being nearby. She grew so enraged that she used her powers to terrorize the minds of the horses, causing them to flee and jump off a cliff.
This event caused the whole ordeal to gain the public's attention, and her mother became depressed and once again was in the hospital. Once she was out, the family decided to take a trip to Shelter Mountian. Anna snapped here, and suffocated Samara, throwing her in the well.
Samara was alone in the well, except for some trash, and an old video tape. She finally died after 7 days in the well. Before she died, she used her power to project the events she experienced onto the tape, cursing it and telekinetically projecting it into the world. Like her own predicament, the viewer is warned they have 7 days to live unless they figure out the riddle in the video.
This movie started all the english remakes of Japanese horror films like "The Grudge" and "The Eye" etc. so it was groundbreaking at the time. I saw it for the first time with my family and we spent the entire week taking photos of ourselves to make sure they weren't blurry and that Samara wasn't after us LOL
So true and tbh this American remake is on par with the Japanese original. Imo this version is better overall than the original version but the original is still fucking awesome. However the grudge, the eye, pulse, shutter, (the list goes on) remakes were HORRIBLE compared to the originals. The Ring was pretty much the only American remake that did an excellent job imo.
Don’t forget Shutter and The Uninvited
@@TheRadScientist_ Pretty much agree. I consider "The Ring" to be better than "Ringu". The rest mostly suck.
If I had to choose one of the other remakes that I felt was kinda okay , but not as good as the original , it would be "Pulse".
sad that this was the only one that worked, grudge was closish, but I didn't jump or feel as unerved in the same situations like the timing and such were missing.
If you insult the grudge remake from 2004, then you’re insulting the original director. He did both.
Aidan is clearly not a typical child. He has no diagnosis that we know of but I think Rachel is actually a fantastic mother since she clearly just accepts him as he is and relates to him on whatever his level is.
She isn't very present as a mother - but it fits for them. Because Aiden is very unusual , as you pointed out.
In the original Ringu, the Japanese version of Aidan (Yoichi) is an esper like Samara (Sadako).
The beauty of this movie is that at the end it pretty much turns out to be like one of those spam emails back then telling us to forward this message to ten friends or you'll die. Author practically read one of these chain-mails and just made a whole story around that premise. Genius.
This was a remake of a Japanese movie what are you talking about Author?
@@mtabby8791 Which was itself adapted from a Japanese book. Wiki it.
The original book was based more or less off of small pox.
@sweetcinnamonpnchkin Tbf it's been awhile since I read it, but yeah it's actually smallpox. In fact it was written in 1991 before email became a thing.
Still I like to think that's how spam chain-mail came to be.
@@primepm8861 chain letters existed before e-mail
I remember watching this with my mother as a child. We had just finished the movie and, as happenstance would have it, we got a phone call. We were freaking out, muttering a chorus of "no way's" and "absolutely not's". Turns out, it was my great-grandmother with the world's worst timing.
Ok, so Samara (the lil girl) is evil....a bad seed if u will. She was giving her mom n dad hallucinations n burning images in their heads, making the horses off themselves, etc. The mom killed Samara to make it stop. Now she's more powerful since she was "let out" of the well by Rachel.
Rachel tried to help but just made things worse lol
The Ring scared me as a child. But this movie was what drew me to horror movies. The mystery of finding out why or how the horror exists, how to stop it, and how everything (or most things) piece together when explained, I love it.
This movie is so good at building a sense of mounting dread, and then nailing the payoff with the climactic scene right after you let your guard down.
Never understood how people dislike this movie. Slow, creepy horror is the best horror. The cinematography, color scheme and overall tone of the film is incredible. Still holds up to this day.
"Don't watch the tape."
"Why would you watch the tape?"
Then proceed to watch the tape as it's played for them. 7 days.
I still can remember the fear on the part she said, "I saw her face." Then, when it cuts to her opening the closet door, the whole theater shit their pants.
As far as remakes go, this is actually a really decent one. The original is pretty wonderful but I enjoyed this one too.
I saw this one first, then the original one and liked this one better.
The original Ringu, while bringing the black-haired ghost girl genre out of Japan, had some plot holes, like the main character actually climbing into the well to empty it (in the last hours of her 7 days), instead like here being pushed into it. Other changes were that Samara was made younger than Sadako, and some of the additional effects.
Just don't do the sequel ...
Maybe Ju-On: The Grudge should be next? This time the original (Japan 2001), the US remake had a bad CGI overkill in its finale, although the same director made it ...
Also "The Eye" (Hong Kong 2002) and "Silk" (Taiwan 2006) are very good.
I remember watching this with my friends in a packed auditorium for the first screening at midnight,...absolutely terrific experience, with everybody jumping outta their seats during the scary scenes. Great fun 👍😁
i saw the origonal Ringu and it was ok but honestly after seeing Grudge it wasn't that scary
For me remake is much better but I don't like asian horror movies
Better than the original. Miss me with the apologetics, it's just fucking better.
I can watch the movie without getting scared now, but the actual videotape still creeps the fuck out of me. It's done so well.
Hehehe well, get it?
This movie looks fuckin great. It's by the dude who made the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Gore Verbinski. He also did a Cure for Wellness, which looks fucking gorgeous. Jesus that dude knows how to make beautiful shit.
Cure for Wellness has the best camera and color grade I've ever seen in my entire life.
@@ScribblebytesWorldwide Damn right. Beautiful shit, bro.
You haven’t seen it…😑 I guess I just must be old lol
“My wife was not supposed to have a child”. Not we, not sadness, but fear. I’m immediately followed by suicide at the mere thought of “his daughter”.
Excellent horror movie, to this day. Made everyone scared of televisions.
After watching this movie, I hated seeing/hearing static 😂😂
I still hate looking into a dark TV 😂
Not really. I thought it was a good movie, until my buddy's house phone rang as soon as the credits started rolling. Never again am I watching the movie.
@@DarkChaos87 - Your comment makes no sense.
@@maximillianosaben how blonde are you?
Basis of the Ring:
Watch a movie, and once you've finished watching it, phone rings afterwards, then you have 7 days to live.
After watching a movie with that premise, and having the house phone ring as soon as the movie ended, was enough of an experience for me to not watch the movie again.
It didn't make me scared of televisions. The phone ringing was enough for me to never watch the movie again. Which makes your "everyone" point invalid, as I wasn't afraid of televisions, only the movie.
Still strange to know that Hans Zimmer did the score for this movie.
He usually doesn't do horror films but I think he needs to do more of those often in all honesty.
right?? And strange to know that Gore Verbinski who directed the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy directed this lol. That was why Gore asked Hans Zimmer to score the Pirates films, because they had worked together on The Ring.
@@janetuss6496 very interesting coincidence.
He's the man, inception, interstellar, chappie, man of steel and dark knight trilogy are my favorite soundtracks from him
I was introduced to Hans Zimmer through horror movies in the 80s, so "usually doesn't do horror" sounds funny to me, although I'm quite aware that it's not what he is famous for.
@@BadMoonHorrors Same. His score for Paperhouse was one of the first film scores that really stood out to me as something genuinely terrifying on its own.
The Ring was so great when it came out! First of its kind! Everyone screaming in theatre when it cam out! We all felt so uneasy! I couldn't go home alone after leaving theatre lol
I watched this when I was little, my older siblings love scaring the hell out of me. Everytime when these characters played "the tape" I closed my eyes, absolutely convinced that Amara was going to come after me! 🤣😂😅. You guys gotta watch Darkness Falls, that movie made me believe the Tooth Fairy was a demon in the night, and for a whole month I was really scared of the dark. And watch The Ring Two, it closes the circle.
Also, for context, she's meant to have psychic powers which is part of what draws you to watch
I love how every day more things from the tape started showing up in the real world.
The fly, the centipede, Morgan family home, the ring, the horse's eye, the ladder, the chair and Samara.
LMAO!!! That was a brilliant way to end the video, with big bro going"OHHHH" and cutting to the piano music
So fun fact the winged seed part of a maple tree is called a Samara. That’s why there’s so many shots of the red tree in this movie.
You nailed it, it works similar to a virus, it wants to reach more and more people until everyone suffers Samara's pain. The novel series in which the original film is based goes even further with the virus analogy.
The Ring is a solid thriller/mystery/horror movie.
I watched this in Junior High, in the front row with my 2 equally scaredy-cat friends, and we were TERRIFIED when we realized that WE are the ones to watch it after Aiden. We spent the rest of the night outside the theater trying to convince people to watch it.
lmao 🤣 🤣
Lol lol
I remember watching the original one late night after the pub back in the early 2000’s. I fell asleep on the sofa and rolled onto the remote and knocked the tv onto a blank channel. The sound of static sobered me up in seconds. When I lent my copy to a friend and she watched it with her boyfriend and afterwards he insisted on turned the tv against the wall before they went to bed
This was actually one of my favorite horror movies growing up. I like that its almost an exact scene for scene remake as the original Japanese 90's version except for a few changes made here and there. I think you guys should watch the original 1998 Grudge if y'all haven't seen it yet.
I used to call my Mom by her first name all the way until I was 6 years old. Other parents were horrified that mom let me do that but she was like "She knows who I am"
Same. I've been calling my mom by her first name since I was around 6 & I'm in my 40s 😁.
I really want to watch you guys watching The Strangers. You have the best reactions
Imagine watching this as a kid. Pure terror lmao
people thought Twilight made that blue tint iconic, but The Ring did it first.
fun fact, this was filmed where i used to live. it was filmed in Astoria, Oregon
“Stfu Aidan” 😂😂😂😂my top 5 fav horror movie of all time!
I loved this movie. It scared me so much but I love how the main character explored the mystery of the tape and Samara
so excited to watch this, this is one of my all time favorite movies ever. I think this was the first horror movie I ever watched by myself when I was like 7 or 8. Good memories, lol. Thanks so much for reacting to this! :D
Almost 20 years ago, when I first saw this movie I was allured and freaked out at the same time. This movie HORRIFIED me on so many levels 😩😩😩. Thanks for the reaction.
I remember when this came out, there were stories of it being the scariest movie ever made, people were vomiting in the theatre, etc. When I eventually saw it, I think I was more scared of its reputation than by the film itself.
Classic. I love this movie, the atmosphere is amazing.
Oooh i can't wait to see this reaction. I think yall will love it!!!
I love watching two grown men my age, dressed in Video Game threads, having "don't sit too close to the TV" PTSD.
I bet you guys heard that growing up a lot, too?
I love how chill Curtis is...
"Why would anyone watch a tape that kills you?"
well because that's an insane thing to say.
What if you watch the tape and there's no telephone in the room?
@@PhantomFilmAustralia Samara will appear in front of you to say "7 days"
@@adolfoandreavila7104 If she appears, you'd be dead with a twisted up face by looking at her, so there won't be 7 days.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia Good point, but she has a lot of hair all over her face lol. And now that I think about it, I think that nothing happens if you don't have a phone in the room, you just not aware if you are going to die in 7 days (Like Rachels ex or bf), which is worse
Please consider covering Ju-On: The Grudge (2002), Final Destination 2 (2003), and/or Dark Water (2002) 😁 And since you appreciated The Blair Witch Project, you might enjoy Noroi: The Curse (2005) as well~
I love Noroi!!!
@@bigorange2082
Yes. Noroi: The Curse is fuckin amazing. and plz react to the japanese version of The grudge "Ju-on."
Eragon!🥳
"Yo shut the fuck up Aiden", I lost my shit, that was funny.
I keep on forgetting that she takes people soul to the well with her
This was a BEAST when it came out. I was really into horror movies before and trough junior high. The original of this and The Grude felt so fresh. I did not love the remakes, but there is something to both versions. This makes me feel really nostalgic.
“Blue balls beyond belief”?!😂😂😂😂
I was not prepared. Thank goodness that I wasn’t drinking my vodka yet
THE RING Japanese original is a classic.
The reason why the victims have 7 days is because that’s how long Samara managed to live after her mother threw her in the well
You should check the Japanese original Ringu (1998) along with its sequel ringu 2 that came out a year later.
Both are excellent, creepy, athmospheric and Ringu is single handedly responsible for the horror japanese renewal of the early 2000's and movies like dark water or the grudge.
Congratulations, guys. You got through what is perhaps one of the most complex horror movies ever made and your reaction was justified. when I saw this at the theater there were people walking out somewhere between the 30 - 40 mionute mark. This movie was not designed for people who want instant gratification of horror. It is a thinking person's movie. It is a movie that you will be talking about with people who have seen it whether it be around the office water cooler or at a friend or family gathering. You will be sorting out what and why things happen drawing all inds of conclusions until you've settled on the right ones. Pretty much how you ended your film reaction with your talking point reaction. Curtis made a good point about watching and sharinf the video because it was like a virus. That was a scary thought. But Chris also nailed it that to avoid death you have to share it with someone else and that person has to share wit to avoid their death etc,etc. But, both of you talked it out, got it sorted and I think you both came up with some viable statements of what this movie is about. Again, it's a thinking peron's movie and one that gets people talking about it. (A pretty good social gathering concept)! Yes, there are two more movies: Ring 2 (or Two) and a third titled "Rings." I'll leave it up to both of you to see these but if you think you are looking for more answers you may be dissapointed. The concept of "Rings" will blow your mind and both of you may have to each carry your own bottle of aspirin to get through it.
The first VHS copy I rented of this movie actually showed you, before the title screen, before the previews or anything, showed you the images you would see if you had found the VHS in that motel room/the video store... which was an incredibly ominous way to start the movie off, because that meant that you had this feeling you also were going to die. I don't know who they had to pay off to make that happen, but it was very creepy psychological trick. Also, it allowed you to pinpoint each moment in the movie where those images came to fruition, because you'd already seen them in order, which was fascinating. I wish they put it out like that on DVD as well, because I truly believe that's the best way to watch it. It really sets the tone.
also Amber Tamblyn who played the girl who died in the first few scenes was on General Hospital, I think this was her first big movie role, I think she did a really good job
i remember seeing this in theatres with a bunch of other teens and we were all screaming and holding each other when the "plot twist" was revealed lmao
"What? That's it? Where is it? I wanna see something scary!" Clearly these dudes are not fans of suspense. That's modern-day audiences for ya. Don't show them Jaws cause they'll be complaining about not seeing the shark the whole time.
Funny you mention Jaws, we absolutely love that movie. This movie just didn't feel as scary as I heard it was, felt more like a detective thriller than a horror. It's labeled a horror so I was expecting more horror.
I remember playing an evil prank on my mate (we were either 10 or 11) which involved having this in the vcr player (that's how long ago it was) being fast forwarded to her about to come out of the well and batteries being removed from the controller the week after we watched this for the first time... he still curses at me about that. Great reaction guys
fun fact: The girl who plays Samara is the same girl who voices Lilo from Lilo and Stitch
One of the great horror movies of the 2000's.
I never really got the flick. You guys should try Train to Busan. That's a great movie!
First time I watched this i was 11 alone in the house.
Got too where she watches the tape & i had too shut it off.
House phone IMMEDIATELY rings.
It was my parents calling telling me they blew a tire & were going too be late.
😂😂😂😂😂
"YO, shut the fuck up Aiden." 🤣🤣🤣
Hoping you guys will get around to watching Doctor Sleep during the run up to Halloween. Watched it the other night and thought it was a great companion to The Shining.
“Is he a PROPHET?..”😂😂😂😂
Have you guys ever watch [REC] (2007 Spain) I was in cinema and wow this was so scary then... Like wow.
I get scared and all but not to point to close eyes or to have problem with sleep, etc, but I was scared watching this.
The story is cool actually, the way they made this was cool, from camera man point of view.
It is old movie now, so it hits different for sure but then....
I will be honest I didn't watch this movie ever after this time in cinema, I watched some clips, some teories about story, etc. But not all again.
My friend that was with me, for all time of movie, she had scarf on face and only watched first part before everything goes bad... But even noises was so scary for her that she was jumping in chair (but in cinema you hear it more sooo), and she loves horrors.
I'm sure you are too young too remember when this come out but maybe later in life you watched it if no.... Maybe try.
I also think only 1 one is worth watching.
This in one of my favorite horrors.
So basically Samara had some sort of super power(like an x-men) that's making everyone around her crazy. The power which even Samara had no control over. The parents kept her in the barn, took her to the psychiatric hospital and eventually the mother couldn't take it anymore and killed her. Even after she died, the power keeps going on.
Great review!

The conversation between the doctor and Samara is shown to the audience twice. The second time, Rachel (and the audience) pick up on the true meaning.
(1st time)
Doctor: "You don't want to hurt anyone."
Samara: "But I do [hurt people]..."
(2nd time)
Doctor: "You don't want to hurt anyone."
Samara: "But I do [want to hurt people]..."
This Is Actually Most Horror Movie Released By DreamWorks
everything looks dead because this is just how Californians see Washington and Oregon. And this blue-green filter was really popular in early 2000s horror.
This was the first horror movie I ever watched, probably a little too early. I think I was 10 or so, and up until then I was a very sensitive, easily-scared child. The "I saw her face" bit is forever etched in my head.
Nice work dude in figuring out how the ring tape curse works at the end of your reaction!
There’s a Korean version of this called “The Ring Virus”
I was an adult when this movie came out. Adulting along, living in my appartment and everything. I had one of those big ass 27 inch TVs that weights a TON. When I came home from watching this in the theaters, I was so terrified alone in my house that I turned the TV for it to face the wall. In my terrified mind, how could she get to me if she couldn't get out of the TV?
I don't know why I watch horror movies, man, I am so easily scared
Still one of the best horror movies from the 2000's in my opinion. Idk what it's like watching it for the first time these days but I was 9 when it came out. Everyone was afraid of their TV for a long time lol.
If you liked the film and its Japanese predecessor (Ringu), the book by Koji Suzuki is really bizarre--and even more twisted than either of the films. Suzuki is called by some the Stephen King of Japan. He has written several novels and a large number of short stories.
I just finished the trilogy a few weeks ago. They were absolutely fantastic, so creative and cerebral and well written. Like Stephen King meets Michael Crichton.
Though I was surprised the climax scene from the movie never actually occurred in the book.
You have to make a copy so she is heard. Like a chain letter back in the day.
I have seen both the original and this one but honestly I thought this one was brilliant. I saw it in the cinema and the part with girl in the closet I actually had to turn my head it freaked me so bad. I love the sound design its very clever.
It's kind of crazy how this movie isn't so scary now. Oh, but when it was released .. it was one of the scariest movies around. Goes to show you that we're becoming desensitized due to all this media consumption. Not sure if thats a good thing. Anyway, great vid guys, as usual.
In the original Japanese Ringu, the dad has psyhic ability rather than the son.
BTW, it’s funny that Chubby Rain said it was like a virus, and the 1999 South Korean film based on the Japanese novel is called The Ring Virus.
Was disappointed there was no rant, yet I liked the abruptness XD
Thanks guys!
LOL, I love how this just ends with, "Ohhhhhh"
Why is Curtis looking like a damn fool? 😆🤣
”Oh, she’s back; hiiii!”
“Woop, she’s gone; byyyeee!” 👋🏻
😂😂😂
6:49, it's pretty natural actually for most parents that had children as teenagers to want their children to call them by their first names instead of Mom and Dad. It's their way of wanting to hold onto their youth even though they're parents
😂😂 Not rerun of the Teletubbies! I feel that though!
Okay guys....Little Shop of Horrors! If you love horror, comedy, 50s doo-wop music, and Rick Moranis ... you've gotta do it!
I saw this one in the theater and it was just myself, my boyfriend and another couple. All I know is that Samara messed us all up. We were so quiet when we left the cinema :).
You guys were checking off boxes you weren't even sure about. That was pretty awesome. Great reaction and thank you.
LOL, It wants lemonade? That made me choke on my coffee
God this movie is a masterpiece
"I did not fucking see this coming." NO ONE did at the time. :)
One very effective (at least for me) that the movie does is force the audience to watch the video when Rachel does. It really increased my anxiety because it was like I also had 7 days.
The original novel on which this movie is based is actually good and goes further into it - and it's actually a scifi story!
