When you spread the curse to other people, it skips you. Because Rachel made a copy of the tape and gave it to Aidan, the curse skipped her. So, she made Aidan make a copy to give to someone so that it would skip him, too.

[@AstralAustin]

I think the curse skipped her when she copied it and gave it to Noah though

[@psychokitty71]

@@AstralAustin Noah watched the one she had. After he watched it, she made a copy for him, but Aidan ended up watching the copy, so it skipped her but not Noah.

@@psychokitty71 ohhh gotcha

[@judeless77]

I dated a guy years ago who lived a floor below where the apartment was filmed. The building didn’t notify the residents that they were filming because they didn’t want them getting in the way. He was at home and heard noise, then screaming and then more screaming. Concerned, he went upstairs to see what was happening and the crew was confused why he was there. After a brief conversation it was explained to him and even Naomi apologized to him. They laughed. He stayed with me for a week.

[@DegrassiInstantStar]

21 years later, and this film is still a damn masterpiece, and its sequel is genuinely under-rated.

[@SuperWishaniggawoods]

I love instant star lmao had to say that

[@imjakedeason]

@@SuperWishaniggawoods iconic lol

[@Dust468]

Ring 3 is the best one right?

[@lessismore8533]

Ring 2 was pretty underwhelming tho. Watch “Rings 2005”. Short film. Great sequel potential

[@andrxxus]

i’m sure your patreon members might’ve explained this, but the movie does explain everything. you just might not get it or catch it at first so i feel like it’s safe to say this. samara has the ability to physically etch images into people’s minds. she was torturing her parents (and the horses) by putting images in their minds, driving them crazy. the parents also wanted to stop her from torturing anyone else so they put her in the shed with the horses and made her sleep there with them. if memory serves, the horses would keep her up at night which is why she mentally tortured them enough to make them drown themselves. the mom finally had enough of the mental torture samara put upon her and ended her life. the guilt + possible hallucinations still occurring was too much for her and she killed herself too, leaving Richard by himself. at the end, rachel finally realizes who’s the true evil. it’s samara. the reason why Rachel was spared is because she made a copy. why would making a copy of a tape that kills you spare you? it’s because Samara’s plan is she wants to spread the curse as far as possible. she wants people to make copies (which they have to give to someone else to watch) which will pass the curse to them and the process has to repeat or they die.

[@shadows1199]

Samara didn't mean to put those images in their parents' minds.... She wasn't aware of that (the images), Samara genuinely loved her adoptive mother, Anna.

[@ChrisCollins068]

I didn’t even start watching the reaction yet and I already knew these two weren’t going to get it 😂

[@andrxxus]

@@shadows1199 i’m sorry! i didn’t know! i’ll correct it sometime soon. it’s been a while since i’ve watched the movie legitimately instead of through reactions so most of this what i typed is from my knowledge. thank you for the correction

[@levischorpioen]

@@shadows1199 Eh, no. She specifically answers to the comment "You don't want to hurt people" by saying "but I do."

[@sadtitties222]

​@@shadows1199 Nah, Samara knew what she is doing. She really is evil and her origins explain so much more about what she truly is.

[@SuperWishaniggawoods]

This movie had a chokehold on America when it was out I swear! Especially since VHS 📼 was still in use back then. People really thought this was real , hell at least I did as a child watching this. This is still one of my tops favorite horror movies because how scary it was back then and the controversy around this music was legendary! Thanks for your reaction :)

[@guadalupetorres]

I definitely thought it was real lol, I thought the movie itself was "the tape" so I was CONVINCED I was going to die 7 days after watching it.... to be fair, I was like 5 y/old, so its justifiable 😅

[@padtrickkeys3261]

Fr I was Scared of it too 😮

[@DannyPop2013]

Yes i was in high school and this movie was all the rage when it came out. It scared me back then lol

[@sadtitties222]

For real tho! I was a kid/pre-teen, but I remember how everyone was obsessed with finding out whether the real tape was out there or not. People of all ages would pull all kinds of pranks during Halloween with the Samara/Sadako costume amd numerous people would upload the "real" video of the tape on KZbin in order to scare viewers, lol.

[@lessismore8533]

@@guadalupetorreswhy would your parents let you watch The Ring a6 5? Sheesh. I wasn’t allowed to watch it at 11

[@Joanna.From.Canada]

SHE MADE A COPY OF THE TAPE! If you make a copy of the tape, and make someone else watch it, then you are passing her message and you will live!! ( And at the end, she made Auden make a copy ) ✌️

[@DanielSelk]

I liked how this wasn't a full blown horror movie but a ghost mystery story that we are solving with the main character =) But the beginning and end...GEEZ they're frightening! AND the girl who plays Samara is the voice of Lilo in "Lilo and Stitch"!!!

[@melbournegirl12]

I love that you tried to work out the cabin being on the same island as the Morgan’s farm, because that’s something I never understood.. how Samara was thrown down a well by her mother at Shelter Mountain Inn when it doesn’t seem like an area near the Morgan’s farm? The movie makes out that the farm is a ferry ride away, and Shelter Mountain Inn is a long drive away as Rachel “needed to take a nap before driving back”?? Can someone clarify?

[@BeautyMonster1000]

This movie really isn't confusing, you just really have to pay attention. Firstly, Samara was born with the abilities that she has to burn those images into people's heads and onto objects (like the wall in her little barn room), she's not aware of this, so it isn't intentional. She was adopted by her adoptive parents after her mother went crazy and Samara was blamed for it (this is explained more in the later films). This is also the reason why her adoptive mother killed her by throwing her down the well and she drowned after seven days, that's why she only gives you seven days before killing you. The idea of the tape is that it's a curse that Samara wants to spread as far as possible. So, everyone who watches it has to make a copy, show it to someone and get that person to show it to someone else before the seven days are up or else they die. That's why Rachel survived. She made a copy and showed it to her son and then had him make a copy with her to show to someone else at the end of the movie, that's why Aiden asked what happens to the next person who watches the copy that they made. This is also more detailed in the later films as well. Your questions will be answered by the end of the trilogy, trust me.

[@TJMalana]

She didn't show her son the tape. Aiden watched the tape in his own freewill hence creating his own death sentence Rachel showed it to Noah. That's why she got spared.

[@adgato75]

Extremely rare case of the remake being better than the foreign original.

[@yorraksa8841]

You should watch the original "Ring: Ringu" the Japanese one. I think it's more scarier

[@rumbledumpthumpershaker6735]

No she wasn't killed because she made another tape to spread the infection. That's why she had the boy make one. If you sacrifice someone else you live.

[@MMATHE1ST]

I hope ya'll can react to a horror movie called mama (2013) it's so good.

[@jessicazanoli4187]

I agree and also Idk if they've seen drag me to hell or my soul to take. They are both great too.

[@301baby4l]

Definitely 🔥🔥

[@cashcarti.t]

Great recommendation!! I still have nightmares of that movie 😂

[@hewent2Jarrod]

The actor that plays Noah is Martin Henderson. He played Wayne in ‘X’. He’s also been in a ton of other stuff. You should check out ‘The Strangers’ and it’s sequel ‘The Strangers: Prey at Night’ for a Halloween season watch. They’re both a lot of fun and very scary. Plus, there is a new trilogy coming out in ‘The Strangers’ franchise.

[@Dennis_K09]

She wasn't killed because she made a copy, that's pretty much it, that's why she had the boy make a copy. I don't remember much about the details of this movie, but I definitely know that!

[@Beatrizgo1989]

I sure. The first time I watched it I really thought Samara was coming trough my Tv. I scared a lot. Couldn’t sleep.

[@MaryRudac-ji8lu]

Me too

[@angelothehorrorfan5013]

You guys should react to the ring two and 3 and the grudge series that has 4. The Japanese timeline you guys can try but they are pretty long.

[@sneakycheeks]

The original Japanese movies of The Grudge (called Ju-On) and The Ring are far better than the American remakes.

[@josedavidvf07]

Good trilogy, good reaction.

[@horrorfanatikk]

oh and here’s a little something if you guys ever want to do more “alien” like franchises: the Cloverfield series is pretty nice, Life starring Mr. Deadpool himself, & Annihilation which is a bit lengthy but trust, it makes up for it; are all good spins on alien styled movies

[@alexandervelez9507]

the twist is that essentially samara was always evil and her adoptive parents never abused her. they were just trying to protect themselves. the third film isn’t a prequel but it essentially rewrites samara’s origins which is established in the sequel so i wouldn’t even bother watching it. major disappointment.

[@sneakycheeks]

I remember when I watched the sequel to the ring in the cinemas and was scared coming back from the movie theatre I was around 14 years old and I also remember watching the original the ring at only 11 years old and being scared from it even years later the ring and candyman are the movies that scarred me for life they are so scary thinking some girl could kill you after watching a video tape or being killed in front of a mirror I do love ghost stories and urban legends as well and I think you should watch the Japanese version of the ring as it’s so scary and also the Indonesian the doll movie series as they are creepy as well

[@robofwonder]

I agree. I've always seen this more as a mystery/thriller than a horror. Second reaction of yours I've watched. I'm enjoying them but... in both this and The Cabin in the Woods you both seem to be missing big chunks of important information and/or overthinking minor side issues! Is this going to become a trend? (If it is, it could end up being a good channel hook! But it also gets a little frustrating!) Nonetheless, good fun. Onto the next!

[@Roslins-Airlock]

I like the second one, but was not impressed by the third. I may need to revisit it.

[@teesh871]

It took me like 3 watches to get it...and I still didn't get it until I watched the Japanese version. I like it anyway. I wouldn't normally endorse an American remake but this did really well.

[@angelavalentino5146]

I think you are thinking too small with your “witch’ theory. Some other other with scary kids; “Case no. 39”, “The Omen”, “Orphan’, “Identity “, “Poltergeist 1 and 2’, “The Village of the Damned (original and remake’, “The Girl with All the Gifts” “The Children”,, “There’s Something Wrong With the Children”, “The Bad Seed”, “The Good Son”, ‘Children of the Corn (1984)”, “Twilight Zone The Movie (1983), “The Grudge” (Both the Grudge and The Ring had original Japanese movies), and “Let the right one In”(Both Swedish and American remake),

[@auntiecreeps1414]

I saw this in the theater back in 02 and it scared me silly! 🫣 It’s what made me explore Asian horror because even though it was an American remake it had an extremely eerie feel to it that most American horror was lacking at the time. It remains my favorite remake of all time. Oh and the baby daddy in this movie was also the prons producer in X. I didn’t even recognize him in that.

not my favorite installment of the franchise (just cause it didn’t really have any scare factors to me, everything seemed so “off screen” minus a long haired demon crawling through your tv screen😂) but part two and the 2017 remake are gold in my opinion we can’t wait for you to get around to those! Though there is some demand for a 4th installment, there isn’t no talks for a sequel to the 2017 movie yet but the way the movie ends there’s always hope
