THE RING (2002) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

I already know which scenes you are going to say “ Shut-Up” on 😂😂😂😂

[@heatison11]

So like every 10 seconds 😂

Same here! 😂😂😂

[@elusiveDEVIANT]

1408 was a good one. I watched that and knew exactly where the "shut the fuck up" would come up. Fun reaction. :D

[@everyonelovesmajima]

This is just going to be J yelling “shut the fuck up” for 30 minutes. Can’t wait.

[@mkay7163]

That moment at the end when the boy asks "What happens to the people we show it to?" and Naomi Watts almost but not quite looks sideways at the audience and you realize... THEY JUST SHOWED IT TO YOU

[@mimikannisto4418]

The girl climbing out the tv and what you said is what still fucks with me about this movie when most others don't bother me. Well that and the context of your environment the first time you watched it. The first time I say this movie. I had recently moved to a desolate state in an even more desolate town that I had ever lived in my life. I didn't know the area very well. My boyfriend that did know the area was. An hr away at work. I had rented this movie to watch. It was about 3am. The first time they showed the well in the movie. I remembered there was one just like it with a lid on it and chain locked right outside my kitchen window. 🤦👀😳

[@k9px]

Bullshit I did! I didn't see anything! I played World of Warcraft and listened to him reacting in the background... i'm good. 🥴

[@beansmccullough7660]

The ring wasn’t the outright scariest movie but it had such an eerie feel throughout that honestly made it stick with me even more.

[@lessismore8533]

It definitely WAS one of the scariest for it’s time back when it was new. Now everyone knows the climax even those who never saw the movie yet. Katie’s face in the closet still gets me to this day

[@GordonPyzik]

This movie creeps up on you days later while you're lying on bed. I've never seen a movie be more effective than this one.

[@shainewhite2781]

The scene where Samara crawls out of the TV was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.

Awesome!

"I can't imagine being stuck down a well all alone like that. How long could you survive?" "Seven days." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Tess Hall. Location Location Fact: Seattle, Washington was chosen as the chief location of the film production because of its wet, isolated setting. Killer Marketing Fact: Long before the movie premiered, the killer video was used as a commercial. The commercial did not mention any movie for nearly a month. Shadowless Green Fact: For the choice of the film's color, it was decided that everything was to be tinged with the color green to give the film a sickly, unnatural feeling. Sets were also lit in a way that none of the characters have a shadow, to create an almost subconscious sense of creepiness. Americanized Silliness Fact: The ring shape motif is unique to the American remake. Kôji Suzuki, the author of the novel upon which the movies are based, says that the title referred to the cyclical nature of the curse, since, for the viewer to survive after watching it, the video tape must be copied and passed around over and over. Cursed DVD Fact: The "cursed" video is available as an easter egg on the DVD. Once the "video" has started playing, you can't stop it, pause it, fast-forward it, or return to the menu. Unless you turn off the TV, you're forced to watch the whole thing. When it's over, the DVD returns to the menu, then you hear a phone ring twice before you're given control over your remote again.

[@BigGator5]

Unfortunately, there is a live premiere conflict. Last time this happened, I chose you guys over them. This week, I will watch them live. I will watch this later. Tell the chat I said hi! Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍

[@aaronedson8188]

The Ring scared me twice the first time I watched it. I was in the Navy at the time and our ship just returned from a deployment. A shipmate was nice enough to loan me the DVD for the evening. Half the ship was gone so I had the whole living space to myself. I turned off all the lights, hit play on the remote, and sat the remote on the arm rest of the couch. The movie ended and was pretty much spooked. Then I noticed a feature on the DVD called "Don't Watch This." I selected to the feature and placed the remote back down on the arm rest. The feature was just the video from the movie spliced with deleted scenes. As I am watching it the TV just turned off by itself. I froze and started looking for the remote. I thought maybe I could have hit the remote by accident or something. With arms resting on my lap, I slowly turned my head to see the remote still sitting on the arm rest. There's no way I accidentally hit it. I swiftly got up and got outta there. Found the shipmate that loaned me the DVD and told him what just happened. We had a laugh about. With being said, love the channel! Love your reactions!

[@e.c.1975]

When I was little everytime my sister and I watched it the phone would ring right after. We were too scared to pick it up 😂

[@HistoritorJimaldus]

My tv wouldn’t turn off after I watched it 😳 the button had broken - I ripped that plug outta the socket so fast lol 😂

[@Perid0tStar]

This was the last movie that freaked me out enough as a young-ish woman at the time, to wake my mom up and spend the rest of the night in her room because I couldn't turn my brain off and it bothered me too much xD

[@joshuacoldwater]

11:21 - You tell me there’s a death tape, I’m done watching tapes all together. I’ll survive.

[@Notsosweetstevia]

I’m going to turn “Shut up” into a drinking game. Let’s see if I’m still standing by the end😂😂😂

[@aaronburdon221]

Have an ambulance on speed dial lol.

[@Neckromorph]

I watched this almost 20 years ago as a kid and it scared the ever-living hell out of me. I still consider it one of my favorite horror movies ever. The tone and atmosphere is done so well and goes along perfectly with the whole mystery aspect of the story.

[@Squanchhyy]

yeah that jump scare when it cuts to the first girl who dies in the closet….talk about trauma lol that shit had me SHOOK

[@jinn91]

It scared me to as a kid to the point I covered my TV with a blanket 😂

[@TheGreyPilgrim28]

"If I pulled Margot Robbie out of the TV...then, I'd have some questions. Later." Brah.

[@blytheguy7510]

The movie you're probably thinking of J is Jennifer's Body. There's one scene that is very key to the plot. The Ring started a whole wave of Japanese horror remakes that thankfully died out fairly quickly. I remember the horror FPS games that came out around this era, F.E.A.R. The first two games were pretty solid. And yeah man, if Margot Robbie walked out of my TV, I don't think I'd question it too much. I'd just ask if she'd like to have a seat and offer a drink.

[@the_radiant_patriot]

I think the scariest is 'The Grudge'... I hate that movie. Something extra creepy about that one that just rubs me the wrong way.

[@blytheguy7510]

[@suzycute1456]

“He a bowl cut demon baby” Funniest guy on the internet 😂😂😂

[@nerdieone1]

The ring is an American remake of the Japanese film Ringu. Samara or Sadako in the original Japanese film was inspired by the Onryu. Onryu are caused when someone dies a traumatic or violent death. They become vengeful spirits and they seek to destroy those who have harmed them and anyone who comes across their territory etc. The Grudge/ Ju On is another film that talks about this spirit.

[@jessicanielsen1730]

I can NOT handle this movie! It's the only movie I have ever screamed for real in the movie theater! But watching YOU watch this may be the greatest thing to happen this Halloween season!! Thank you! I hope we both make it to the end 🤣

[@murrayroodbaard207]

The Ring is not about gore, but all about atmosphere and dread. Something many horror movies no longer know how to do anymore. They just throw cats at you and play the piano really loud and say "BOO."

[@jackieelizabeth8614]

Sinister does a good job with that same feel

[@danielpeckham5520]

Yes, the Ring is a well directed suspense movie, mystery noir too, alot of horror these days relies on cliche jump scares and not much else

[@TheEvie1995]

@@NyxSpirit Yeah, I think it was the worst one but I like that it explained the backstory of why Samara was the way she was. And that is the only good thing about it.

[@NyxSpirit]

@@TheEvie1995 well the 2nd one basically did that she was born evil. The third one just felt pointless. She wanted to be “reborn” like what? They should’ve brought back the original cast. I would’ve loved to seen Naomi come back in modern day.

[@scottflores210]

I was in the military when this came out and me and a bunch of my friends went to watch it in the theater. It didn't really scare me until she started crawling out of the TV. It was funny though because at that exact moment another lady in the theater got up and said oh heck no and walked out while she was walking out she said f that.

[@falloutfan2502]

This was my greatest theater experience ever! Packed house, up close, everyone mesmerized and terrified. At the end, everyone was frozen, petrified, when one dude down front went "fuuuuu..." and we all cracked up laughing. Amazing experience! One of my favorites. Worth it to watch Ring 2 also.

[@gojiberry7201]

I saw Ringu before I saw The Ring. I always thought Sadako was scarier because you never saw her face -- the eye in Ringu was terrifying. Now I just watch them as two separate movies and it's good.

Yeah when I watch it today, it's been 20 years and horror movies have evolved a lot. It didn't age as well as I would hope for it, and today the sound design and stuff would be very different. But when it came out, all my classmates told me they felt extremely icky about their TVs, especially when it was in their bedroom. It has such a unique atmosphere and the story is told well.

I believe this movie was inspired heavily by the 1980 film, The Changeling. Another beautiful film. I used to play The Changeling on the overhead tv’s at the video store I worked at in the late 90s. Broad daylight and I would still get chills. This is in my top most respected horror films, along with The Changeling.

[@davemchard1530]

Man, of all the movies the Great Brian Cox has been in, Manhunter (Hannibal Lektor before Anthony Hopkins) X Mean 2, Trick r Treat, the Bourne Identity, to name but a few and the movie that comes to you is Super troopers 😂😂😂. Caught me off guard. Great stuff. Keep up the good work. ✌️

[@mistermakebelieve]

I remember when The Ring dvd was released, one of the bonus features was the full cursed film. Once you started watching it, the dvd player controls stopped functioning, making it impossible to stop it until it ended.

[@rikky6ixx]

Still one of the scariest movies of all time for me. I love it now, but after the first time I saw it I was TERRIFIED in my own house. This is exactly the type of film that gives me nightmares and legitimately spooks me. I had to see it 4 times in the theater to desensitize myself to it. I think it still holds up as one of the scariest movies ever. I know fear is different for everyone but this brand of horror is 100% the type that works for me! Lol Love your reactions! I laugh every single time. You are so much fun.

05:47 jennifer's body 2009 film was epic for that type of movie if u was gonna watch that one when mentioning the megan fox film. I dont know more than 2 films she was in, transformers which i wasnt bothered with for her or the transformers. and jennifers body which i 100% think she did a amazing job on. not just her.
