Fun fact: The cinematography in the movie pans below the water to look at Rachel while she's in the well and she appears blurry which explains why you appear blurry in photos and videos, it's how Samara would see you under the water.

You wanna know what’s really creepy? When the DVD of this came out in 2002 it had an Easter egg on it. What Easter eggs USED to be on DVDs was a hidden menu selection that you couldn’t see until you, usually, accidentally selected it without knowing it. By pushing the up, down, left, and right buttons on the remote while on a menu page… Like the one where it just says play/special features/bonus/behind the scenes/etc type of thing. I didn’t know that the DVD had a Easter egg on the main menu. But I accidentally found it because while I sat down to get ready to watch the movie, I pushed the controller button on my remote accidentally and the selection that was on the play icon on the screen disappeared. I hit ‘Enter’ thinking that it would just play the movie, but it played the creepy video that’s in the movie… It played it full screen by itself. Then the screen went black for several seconds and then the VERY loud sound of a phone ringing. Freaked the shit out of me and I didn’t even see the movie yet. I can’t wait for next weeks movie. It too is very creepy. Enjoy! 💙💙💙

[@lonewolfe8625]

This movie is eerie more than scary. Since it keeps you in a state of uneasy suspense, you cannot release that tension by screaming or laughing as you would when the jump scare happens like in other horror movies. It even deprives the viewer of seeing the boyfriends death. I think this is an american remake of a Japanese horror movie If you want fun jump scares, then watch Resident Evil (lots of fun. Not horror though)

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yeah you're totally right! That's what it is!

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

Yes this is a remake to the Japanese movie ringu

[@DanielSelk]

@@whitenoisereacts Watch The Ring 2! It's got the mom and boy in it for the whole thing and continues the mystery and other things that happened in the past! =)

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

suspense/psychological and/or jump scares and/or "action'y-violence" (examples: the ring, resident evil franchise, alien franchise, and etc) vs horror/slasher/"classical-horror-violence" (examples: halloween, friday the 13th, nightmare on elm street, etc) vs extreme-violence/torture/brutality/cruelty/etc (examples: the Saw movies, texas chainsaw masscre, etc) ---------- most of this movie (the ring) is suspense, aside from the beginning and ending, which is horror ------- I'd put 'the grudge' movie in between suspense and horror, for another example

[@embran8486]

That's what true horror when term is set is: constant unsettling feeling. You are on edge while no sudden shock elements caused it. And when it happens it is double effective. Many jumps makes you used to it. That's opposite of horror = terror. So the movie succeeds on staying true to traditional Horror format eeriness and subtlety and scares not far off. Nevertheless Japanese one even more so. Oddly enough the American is focused more on jumpscares than OG one so if this was subtle enough for you...Ringu follows typical Asian mythos and culture, the Ring adapted to American/Western audience. Ringu often has a distancing effect, not for everyone. More artsy and the bizarre, VHS tape scarier.

[@janetuss6496]

The director of The Ring went on to do the Pirates of the Caribbean films lol, he's a good director. And he got Hans Zimmer, the famous composer, to do both The Ring and Pirates with him. If Hans does the score, you know it's probably going to be a good film haha. The Others with Nicole Kidman is a great horror film.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Mmm I love Hanz, but that process of identification is right lol

[@judeless77]

The girl from the ring was the voice of Lilo in Lilo and Stitch.

[@CassadyBrooks95]

I fucking knew it!! Lol I always wondered why the soundtrack to the movies felt familiar

[@Kiraj8de]

My cousin and I watched this movie in theaters. The movie terrified us. Especially that tv scene. When we left to be picked up by my mom, it was dark. We got in, and didn't see anything wrong at first. Then my mom said she had a surprise for us in the back of the car.... We turn around... and right behind us was a brand new giant television set. I think our screams of terror freaked out my mom... but seriously???? 😵‍💫

[@caragio]

The 'body in the closet' scene is genius. It's too short to convey the clear picture but long enough to 'imprint' the ghostly face of the corpse to your mind. Now you can only imagine what was she had been through before she died, and that's powerful.

[@sweetcinnamonpnchkin]

And it gets stuck in your head the rest of the movie and long afterwards.

My brother told me, You have to watch this! It's the scariest movie I've ever seen! So I did, living in a small basement flat, and after Rachel first watches the tape along with me, my phone rang. And I jumped off my couch. Had to take a break. So I went outside and saw that my neighbors had placed a tall wooden ladder on the side of their house! Not kidding. So I called my brother and started freaking out at him.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yeah it’s horrifying

[@ash2835]

In terms of suggestions, 'The Woman in Black' (2012) is surprisingly great. Proper gothic horror. Also, (not really a full-on horror), but I recently watched 'The Divine Fury' (2019), a Korean action/horror and thought it was a lot of fun and had good heart.

@@koreancowboy42 people often think Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) is the first movie however its only the first theatrically released in the series…the actually first two Ju-On are Ju-On: The Curse (2000) & Ju-On: The Curse 2 (2000)…they are both low budget V-Cinema movies…Ju-On: The Curse (2000) is set in 1994, 1995 & 1996 respectively…Ju-On: The Curse 2 (2000) is set in 1996 only with the end chapter from the previous movie set in 1994 being recycled at the very beginning…30 minutes are recycled from the first, with an additional 40 minutes being added…the ending of Ju-On: The Curse 2’s narrative fits right into Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) because the characters of and end segment “Saori” the characters Chiaki, Saori and Ayano are all talking in the Saeki house, that “Saori” segment takes place in 2006. Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) takes place mostly in 1999 with only the “Izumi” chapter taking place in 2006. The entirety of Ju-On: The Grudge 2 (2003) is the climax of the saga and is also set entirely within 2006, with the very end taking place around 2010-2011…and also the film reuses Chiharu from Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) as this time around a main character getting her own chapter which is absolutely nightmare fuel…

[@quoting101]

I remember seeing this movie in the theater. It was a packed house with an excellent audience, so the anxiety was cranked way up and stifling by the time she crawls out of the TV. Really glad you guys highlighted the cinematography, it felt really unique. And I loved that everything was tinted that pale blue-green color - really drove home that unsettling atmosphere. Thanks so much for reacting to this one!

[@jayfrancelf]

I saw it in a packed theater too. This movie really freaked me out

[@SkaniaT]

I also remember seeing it in theaters. I was visiting my aunt at the time and not old enough, so my aunt pretendet to be my mom so I could go in. The guy who clipped our ticket asked us 3 times if we were really sure that we wanted to see the movie. He said that he had seen it and was terrified of all electric appliances for a week. We didn't understand what he meant until we watched the movie. Once we got home I called the other receiver of my aunts phone from the other room and whispert "7 days left". at first she was mad, then we laughed about it XD

[@suvijii841]

I saw it with my friends in theatres too, it was a late-night mystery show they used to do, where the audience walked in without knowing what movie was going to play. We did not know what we walked into, and all four of us were so scared after this that we all had to stay in our friend's house because she could not sleep alone. She lived by herself in an old house back then, and she was seriously scared. We all were, so we all just slept there for the night. I don't recall being so scared before or after that night. Insanely good. truly scary movie!

[@candisham1978]

I remember a bunch of people walking out after Rachel got grabbed in the well, thinking she died.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

23:17 The part that I always found freaky about this scene is that Samara looks up in the medical footage and it looks like she's about to say something to the interviewing doctor present... And then you realize that Samara is actually looking _through the screen and through time_ at Rachel and the real reason she looks up at that moment is because she can see her father is about to hit Rachel.

[@jessicapazo7718]

[@lessismore8533]

DANG CREEPY. And creative! Shame they never elaborated on that more but I know it was just the 1st film. The fly coming out of the screen ALSO foreshadowed the climax in this film yet yet climax STILL got me Screens just don’t exist to Samara. And she can see into the future apparently

[@MistressMadcap]

everyone tries to say that this film is not good. that the premise is stupid or that it can't compare to the original. but the score, the filming, the heightened tension...it's the perfect kind of terror. one you cannot run from, because it wraps you up, like a cacoon.

[@NoxNovak]

This is one of the best horror movies...so well made. I'm glad you guys can see it as well One of the reasons this movie is so great, besides their impecable storytelling, is the color palette, it looks cold and "rotten" almost like you're "dead" underwater (like Samara) which added to the overall well developed athmosphere, besides, the horror there is quite artsy which makes you even more uncomfotable (referring to the entire tape thing and the elements that connected throughout the story) The mystery, the suspense... Quite superb.

[@katgargia5687]

I saw "The Grudge" (2006) when I was a preteen. Well, it scared the crap out of me so much, that I wasn't able to sleep without the lights on for the next 5 years. So, you can kinda give a shot to the whole series, it's pretty mainstream. And then you can compare it to the original japanese franchise, I think a lot of people will enjoy this.

I had to fall asleep with the bed in front of the same TV that I've watched it; I couldn't sleep for hours, and my heart was pounding fast. I think I watched it just that time bc it kinda traumatized me, lol. It's so well done and I just... despite everything, I always loved it, and watching the cinematography now, as an adult who wants to write movies, it got even better. Woosh. Amazing movie. Its score remains one of my favorites. Hans Zimmer at his finest.

[@GigaChaadam]

This movie is one of my favourite horrors because it relies on an unnerving atmosphere to bring about the scares, as opposed to cheap jump scares. And it does this through excellent filmmaking techniques like camera angles music etc. even the colour palette the green black and grey ominous Color tones. And most of all you’re experiencing the horrors as they unfold through Rachel‘s perspective. And seeing as she’s an investigative reporter she’s discovering the story as she goes along. Keeps you guessing till the very end. The Day count too adds a sense of dread and tension. You’re absolutely right about being made to feel uncomfortable that’s what the movies goal was over all. Like that feeling youre being watched. Or you’ve woken up from a nightmare. That uneasy feeling.

[@PrimeCircuit]

I agree. The movie feels like the observer is sliding into a different dimension. The most unnerving part for me was watching the movie within the movie, one becomes the protagonist. A lot of people complain about the acting, but for me the atmosphere requires a lowkey performance. Everyone in the movie seems unnaturally depressed, maybe even suppressed by outside influences. Life seems meaningless and flat, the way Samara experienced it from her perspective through the TV.

[@GigaChaadam]

@@PrimeCircuit Thats a Great metaphor actually. You’re Right. The way we as viewers are forced to experience the world of Samara as one with the protagonist, like it is indeed her twisted perception and alternate dimension. And there’s even some subliminal rings dotted throughout some frames of the film for what feels like an 8th of a second. Blink and you’ve missed it. And it all goes back to samara‘s goal of forcing the world to experience her pain her story. Including us as viewers. Almost like breaking the 4th wall because we’re made to feel what the protagonist feels by clever filmmaking.

[@PrimeCircuit]

@@GigaChaadam The breaking of the 4th wall in this feels almost like a copy of a copy, doesn't it?

One extra cool thing about this movie is when it was released VHS was still a valid format and like you said it makes you uneasy like “did I just watch the tape now” but to rub that feeling in even more when you watched this movie on a vhs tape there was an Easter egg where the time code was constantly messed up and would make your vhs player display weird shapes and glyphs instead of the time stamp.

[@PegasusAnarchy]

This remake had no right to be this good, but it does sets a standard for what American remakes can be. I remember one time a cousin of mine told me her family were watching it on the tv and they had the phone ringing after the cursed video in the movie finished playing. To say they were scared shitless would be an understatement.

[@virz4432]

This movie teaches how a remake should be.

[@maximillianosaben]

This movie is still darn frightening. Everyone has a TV close by.

[@elite_rock_god2292]

I lifted mine into the closet before watching this reaction 😂

[@kay-jay1581]

Glad you guys watch this film. Also I think this is how Japanese horror works. It’s more about the build up and mystery. Shocking images and eerie environment. Haven’t seen a lot of Japanese movies. But I’ve noticed it in manga, anime, and games.

[@kevinelmendez]

Brothers how come you haven’t reacted to The Ring 2 yet?? It’s a fantastic movie as well!! Please do! 🙏🏼

[@amberjp]

I think you'd really like Mama, it was such a creepy film! Also, Before I Wake was a great one on Netflix

[@MrBaldo214]

I’ve never clicked on a reaction video faster…. I LOVE THE RING watched it back on 2005 🥶😩

[@SoWhosGae]

It Follows is a great horror movie. Both unique and referential at the same time with a haunting score and atmosphere/cinemtography.

[@danshuster]

Agreed. such a great modern horror

[@tsukasa1608]

Samara was born a psychic, she able to burn images into people's mind or film.

[@trayas2272]

You have to watch The Ring 2!

[@Thevibrantvegan]

This was the first real horror movie I ever watched. I was probably 12 - 13? I became absolutely obsessed with it. It scared the utter shit out of me but I genuinely thought it was an amazing film and it stuck with me for many years. The Ring 2 isn't quite as good but I still enjoyed it, id love to know your thoughts on it!

[@mismismism]

This movie nailed atmosphere, it reminds me of the Mothman Prophecies for the unsettling vibe it has.

[@poeticnation6251]

You guys should check out part 2 - I really enjoyed it.

[@BubbleBunny514]

I would highly recommend watching the Japanese versions of all the movies like The Ring, The Grudge, Dark Water, etc. They are honestly hands down superior, they are SO much scarier

[@austingreen127]

Great reaction! This is one of my favorite horror movies. One movie suggestion I highly recommend is 1408. It’s one of the better Stephen King adaptations and really messes with your head. Great psychological thriller movie!

[@splinter3734]

Released in 2002 guys.

[@jenn.arayaaguilar]

You guys should watch the Orphan with Vera Farminga ( she plays ms warren in the conjuring). The movie is really good and kind of fucked up haha but I think that you guys will enjoy watching it.

[@ryanpartner6161]

Please watch - Amityville Horror , the original one. -30 days of night - also great -the village -when a stranger calls (remake) :)

[@CeliaNightstep]

For reccomending movies, Id say "The others" With nicole kidman. IM not sure if its specifically horror but its rather creepy and got an amazing plot twist.

[@GaParanormal]

Wat part of the country are y'all from....I appreciate y'all always responding , most channels don't talk to their fans.....and cool to know y'all were a fan of the part I played in Thor ; Ragnarok lol "Doug" is still alive ...I didn't survive the revelution at the end LMAO 🤣😂

[@whitenoisereacts]

California

[@GaParanormal]

@@whitenoisereacts awesome.... always wanted to come out , but always hearing bad stuff so not so sure anymore lol but if Taika ever is shooting out there and calls Doug back into action I'll b there in a heartbeat lol ....forgot to tell u , the only other part I made it into the movie was I played an Asgardian refugee on the ship at the end.... This time as myself lol do no makeup or anything really...I'm just standing there behind Thor/Chris loved it.... - Doug 😂

[@39thala]

Do the remake of a classic "The Woman in the Black Dress" (Starring Daniel Radcliffe). It's more of that traditional Gothic, scary spooky haunted house type f movie, Dark, foggy, spooky etc. It's a great movie and Radcliffe did a great job. One of his first movies after he grew out of the Harry Potter days.

[@jaybirdrosewater-holmes7071]

The House on Haunted Hill (1999) is pretty good, would recommend

[@melliemel151]

I love how much James is into this movie that he unconsciously mimics Rachel when she wipes her bloody nose! That’s definitely a sign of a movie that gets under your skin. I’ve done similar things in the past when super-engrossed in a movie.

[@Sway22]

You should watch "Rings" (it's based on the same idea) or another horror called "The autopsy of Jane Doe". Also while on the topic of movies I would also love you to react to "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" this movie is an animation masterpiece and it's definitly underrated.

[@karabellaellaellaella]

OMG please watch the Japanese version, James! ☺ way better than the American one. Please watch Midnight Mass if you haven't yet.

[@jkchubs]

the grudge literally gives me anxiety so when yall showed the movie poster I screamed lol

[@whitenoisereacts]

Lmao well u gotta watch it with us

[@jkchubs]

@@whitenoisereacts let's hope i can 😂

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

when the movie came out... everyone was doing the ("frog in throat" or however to describe it, brain failure, argh)... 'ahhhh'... on the phone... prank calls or normal calls... lol ------ similar how everyone was doing the commercials' gimmicks of: "waaazzzzzzuuuuuppp" (forgot what it was a commercial for, maybe also beer product, meh, but maybe not) bud... weis.... er (with the frogs in the beer company commercial)

[@jkchubs]

@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 my sister does to me all the time bc she knows i hate it, i literally have to cover my ears lol 😂

[@ingaxnathi]

Please react to the sequel, it's that much better! We had this movie and the sequel on DVD growing up... I fell in love with Naomi Watts and her acting because of the franchise. Definetely fueled my interest in movie making and acting. The sequel is even more unsettling, the storyline of the sequel is even better, along with the cinematography. Fun fact about when they shot the sequel : There was a day where they showed up on set and everything was covered in water. If I remember correctly, they had to perform some form of cleanse of the set before they could continue filming, safely!

[@Mumma-Jess]

The Grudge Trilogy is definitely a good series to watch and The Mist is also one of my faves. I would recommend Stephen Kings Rose Red but thats 4 hours long and the fair use policy makes reacting to that kinda difficult.

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

The ending is nothing new if you watched the Japanese movie ringu. Also sadako is superior to samara. Sadako is more sympathetic and terrifying. Samara is just your typical evil kid. That's not terrifying

[@ZS-dr7bi]

I also like the original Japanese version better. Sadako has such a nuanced terror

[@Sentient_Zee]

I was so glad I watched the Japanese version first. When she came out of the TV, for me it was the most unexpected thing that could have happened and it scared the absolute shit out of me. The American version isn’t a patch on the original.

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

@@Sentient_Zee i agree

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

@@jwhite-1471 and that's a problem. Sadako isn't evil for the sake of it. Her and her mother were being abuse and attacked by her village and thrown down a well. Obviously sadako was gonna be pissed. One one hand yes you felt sorry for her but on the other hand she's killing innocent people that has nothing to do with her death. Samara is just evil for no reason

[@washo2222]

May I suggest "The Babadook," "Before I Wake," The Butterfly Effecr,: and "The Mothman Prophecies." Those should keep you up all night talking and into the next day. I would avoid the sequels to "The Ring." They're not as good and classy as the first one. Good job, guys!!

[@jeffpatton2866]

Great reaction to a great movie. A couple suggestions: Sinister, I know it will scare you. Also Pet Semetary, which was based on a book by Stephen King.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Sinister!!! Yes I’ll have to add that one to the list

[@skye4722]

Ooh have you seen Lights Out? That's a fun watch! I'm also not sure if you've seen The Grudge?

[@midnightcryptworx]

You should definitely watch part 2...it's even better!!

[@shercahn]

I think it's fair to say that Ninetailbrush handled this horror movie much better than James!

[@taylorbarnard2169]

Can u react to "The Ring Two"

[@sylveonpk]

I loved your reaction! Please we want more horror movies ! 💜I am not sure if you already reacted to this but I would love to see you react to “ Veronica” or “ The skeleton key” . Luv your channel !

[@criss_x]

You LIKE movies with cheap jump scares? Jump scares in movies are like a comedian running into the audience, tickling you and saying "technically you laughed so I'm funny!" the ring is one of the few movies that earns the jump scares because there's proper buildup and not just a dumb "scary" thing popping up on the screen with a loud noise.

[@whitenoisereacts]

They are fun to watch with other people. I would liken it more to junk food over a nice home cooked meal. Sure its not real good for you, but it's fun every once in a while

[@criss_x]

@@whitenoisereacts So the word you were looking for in your after thoughts was unease. This film is a masterclass in uneasiness and dread which is what makes a movie scary without just adding the loud DUN noise. You could add that sound to literally anything and make it loud and it will make someone jump which is why it's cheap and overused. You know you're watching a good scary movie when you're genuinely uncomfortable and full of dread and you may not even know why. Also when a movie doesn't just show you something scary and instead lets your imagination do the work. So many dumb horror movies think that showing all the horror on screen makes it scary. it doesn't. We never see what Samara does to kill her victims and that makes it scarier because your imagination takes over and your imagination is much more powerful than anything you see on screen.

[@PianoPrinceOfAnime]

damn DONT WATCH SCARY MOVIE 3 before watching this! I can't stop laughing

[@AMStryx]

There's a sequel following the events after this one. As far as recommendations go, Lights Out(2016) and Orphan(2009).

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

This is one of my top five favorite horror films, and a remake I prefer over the original. It also draws heavily from the the 1980 film The Changeling, as well as 1981's Ghost Story. It definitely has a running theme of neglectful parents running throughout, and the opening scene was a bit of commentary of horror films of the day...the 1990's were full of teen horror films, and coming when this did made it start off looking like one until the opening scene ended and the teen influence went right out the window. By the way, the image on the tape that's an overhead shot of people writhing in the water was a reference to the music video for 21st Century Digital Boy by Bad Religion, as the director for this film did all their early videos, which is also why there's a sticker for the band in Noah's cabinet.

[@cruzinbosco]

This was the first horror movie I had seen in theaters and I had just turned 14. I remember it was pouring that day and the puddles of water everywhere after seeing The Ring was... interesting. Totally freaked me out. Movie has stayed with me ever since and it's still one of my favorites. It's just so creepy.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Whoa...I woulda freaked out!

[@RandyReviews1990]

you stand with ms heard that speaks volumes!

[@snakehandler87]

The only asian horror American remake that I liked better than the original..the cinematography the soundtrack all of it was incredible

[@Emburbujada]

I see others have already recommended The Lost Boys and 30 Days of Night, both great vampire movies. If you want a fun slasher one, I suggest Urban Legend. For something a bit different, The Skeleton Key. Also, if you haven't seen it, The Babadook is great ;)
