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.
oh .... my god. thank you 😭 I've loved this movie for years and I never knew this
this is an awesome touchhhh
OMG i've loved this movie for so long and i never knew that!! It never even crossed my mind.
Thank you! i never knew! Makes sense!
Syhsysbs
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! 💙💙💙
Oh wow I remember that too!
@@katwebbxo Cool!!! I’m glad I’m not the only one! 🤣🤣🤣
@@gippywhite Lol right. I'm pretty sure I found it in a similar way too. 😅
@@katwebbxo 😱😅🤣
I like how you asked it like a question yet didn’t give a shit about what anyone else wants.
That scene with the girl curled up in the closet TRAUMATIZED me as a kid. Gave me nightmares for a very long time and it still scares me lol
i literally had to cover the screen at that part. the corpses in this movie are some of the most unsettling movie effects i've seen.
That scene was the first exposure i ever had to horror, and it stuck with me for WEEKS. I was 10, it was the first horror movie i'd ever seen, and I became OBSESSED with it. And to this day, horror is my favorite genre!
Omg the same happens to me haha it really traumatized me I think I get over it now but still haunts me
same
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.
And it gets stuck in your head the rest of the movie and long afterwards.
We watched this at a sleepover party at my house when we were teens and at the end of the dvd it had “the video” you could watch. So my dad stood outside the door and waited until we’d watched it and then phoned our house phone. 😂 scared the crap out of us! 😂😂
Your dad is a legend
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???? 😵💫
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.
Yeah it’s horrifying
A lot of people don't like the Ring 2, but I liked it very much. It gives more information and some closure. It's just as creepy.
exactly, I feel the same way
I love the Ring 2,they should for sure watch it
I like it too!
As a kid, this was my favorite horror film! Especially The Ring Two! It was just brilliant and still is to me!
Number 2 is my favourite
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)
Yeah you're totally right! That's what it is!
Yes this is a remake to the Japanese movie ringu
@@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! =)
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
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.
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.
Mmm I love Hanz, but that process of identification is right lol
The girl from the ring was the voice of Lilo in Lilo and Stitch.
I fucking knew it!! Lol I always wondered why the soundtrack to the movies felt familiar
Love this movie, both this and the Grudge scared the crap out of me as a kid
Well the grudge is up on Patreon lol
@@whitenoisereacts you guys should watch ju-on the curse parts 1 and 2 and ju-on the grudge 1 and 2 since most of the stuff in the 2004 remake the grudge was used in these 4 movie's. Hell they got the same director from those movies Takashi Shimizu to do this remake
i refuse to watch the Grudge or Babadook agaiiiiiiiiiiinn
@@whitenoisereacts be sure you do CANDYMAN
@@whitenoisereacts please watch part 2 and 3 because it continues
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.
Yeah I that was good a good scene.
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
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.
I loved the woman in black. Radcliffe was great in it
Hey! Don't forget the Ju-on and grudge series. But Don't watch the grudge 4 it was complete dog waters
There’s also good Thai horror. Shutter (2004), Ghost Of Mae Nak (2005), Dorm (2006), Alone (2007), 4Bia (2008), Coming Soon (2008) & Ladda Land (2011) are all good Thai movies
@@koreancowboy42 there’s actually 8 Japanese movies…the original four spanning from 2000-2003 then the American trilogy spanning from 2004-2009, then two tenth anniversary spin offs also in 2009, then two films in 2014 & 2015, a Japanese versus movie between Ring and Ju-On in 2016 and finally the latest not well received American Ju-On in 2020
@@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…
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!
I saw it in a packed theater too. This movie really freaked me out
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
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!
I remember a bunch of people walking out after Rachel got grabbed in the well, thinking she died.
Have y'all watched" The Exorcism of Emily Rose" ....very underated!!! It's def one of the scariest/most unsettling movies ever.....and the fact that it's based of an actual event... The actual recordings are so unsettling.....
That's true... i watch this movie everytime that is on TV
Look up Rose Red they belong together
Yest I like it very much too, I think after classic first movie this one is one of better exorcism movies...
The scene in the barn gives my shivers Everytime....she does such a great job.... Listen to the actual tapes...fkin creepy!!!!
They def need to do this one.....
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 remember seeing the grudge around when I was 13 and I couldn't sleep for months
@@MrsDuck356 i still cant sleep when i think about it lol
@@jkchubs Same. The Grudge scared the crap out of me!!
I still can't sleep Dx..... I hate my step brother and step sister. Two cousins and uncle for that. They kept scaring me and making me watch it with them I was 13 at the time maybe even 12. I hated it......
@@koreancowboy42 jeez, it sucks. sometimes relatives just don't know when it's time to stop. I'm sorry
Why am I watching this video when I know it's going to unlock my childhood fears? Samara was literally in my nightmares for YEARS. But I will do it for White Noise Reacts lol
Aww, you the best!!! 💛💛
The Ring is probably one of the best American remakes out there. But if it comes to remakes in general, I'd definitely say: Give the Evil Dead remake from 2013 a chance.
Fun fact: the girl playing Samara is the voice actress of Lilo from Lilo & Stitch.
Hey! The grudge isn't so bad. Just grudge 4 is shit
@@koreancowboy42 I didn't say it was bad :p
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.
If you haven’t seen it, another solid eerie film like this is Sinister. The suspense and the soundtrack/score absolutely make the movie.
I second Sinister as a great creepy movie!
I liked most of it but felt let down by the supernatural route. Thought it would be a great story about serial killers.
This was the first scary movie I ever saw, and as a child, it messed me up for months. The jumpscare after the mom says “I saw her face...”, full body chills terrified.
I'm 28, so I watched this movie on tape in 2002/2003, at 11/10 years old. It was the first horror movie that I watched fully and knowing that I was watching one, and I ended up fucking TERRIFIED. 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.
Fun fact: There was a prank around, that after watching it on tape, a shitty friend that knew you were watching it, would call you and say in a creepy voice "seven days" and then hang up.
I was already grown up when I watched it in broad daylight and still I couldn't move for about half an hour after it ended. The tape in the movie was a phobia nightmare.
@@PrimeCircuit god yes!!! such a great movie, damn...
I’ve always loved this movie for the cinematography and mood it sets. There’s no “happy family” shots in the beginning or much relief from the eerieness, just blue and green and dark and creepy the whole way through. Love it.
It Follows, Drag Me To Hell, Re-Animator, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Audition, The Descent
This is probably one of the first horror movies I've seen by myself. Started my fears of television and vhs tapes lol
If you haven't seen Sinister you have to see that it's legit scary
Yes!
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.
This is easily one of the best American adaptions of a Japanese horror film. I would even go so far to say it surpassed Ringu. The imagery in this film is creepy and disturbing, and it keeps you on edge throughout. Easily made a ton of people afraid of phone calls at night.
It is a very unsettling movie. The music, the sounds, the whole atmosphere. And I am still afraid of Samara and a black TV. In the books the whole thing really turns out to be spreading like a virus. The books are good. I can recommend them.
Edit: One of the differences between the japanese original, as well as the books, and the american version is that Samara is a child while Sadako was an adult
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.
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.
@@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.
@@GigaChaadam The breaking of the 4th wall in this feels almost like a copy of a copy, doesn't it?
@@PrimeCircuit You’re Right again. On point. So much can be found dissecting this film. It’s genius. Plethora of double entendre subliminal messaging. Connecting all the dots.
Yes!! I think this movie was super underrated.. it's a smart and interesting mystery. It DOES make you anxious the entire movie and I know when I'M afraid of something, I learn more about it so the investigation parts are genius!
Yeah it’s super smart
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.
The director is a serious director. With quality under his belt.
Legit one of my FAVORITE horror movies of all time. I remember going to the movies when it premiered and SCREAMING when they show Katie, dead, in the closet. I just knew this movie was going to fuck me up. And it did. For months I woke up and checked my arm for a burn mark 😂😂 awesome movie. I will always watch this movie when it's on.
I’m not sure if The Others (2001) would classify as horror but it definitely is eerie and overall so good, I recommend that one!
The scene where Samara crawls out of the TV was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
Eh sadako did it better cause you don't see her face
I think House Of Wax would be an interesting movie for you guys to see
Ah yes. The horror movies of my teenagehood.
There are two versions of House of Wax, do you have a preference? I personally prefer the original (1953) with Vincent Price.
@@katherinebaxter6870 I like both, but the remake was one that I grew up with, so that was the one I was referencing. But I definitely enjoy and appreciate the original, Vincent Price is a horror legend.
That movie grossed me out as a kid
YES
the ambiance is the best thing about this movie, i never forgot about it
As someone who isn't scared of conventional horror, I loved the atmosphere of this movie so much. If I cant be scared, I want to feel uncomfortable.
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.
You have to watch 13 ghosts! And The Lost boys original. Also Fright Night original is a classic
I thought the Fright Night remake was really good too.
Also an underated movie...not really scary at least to me , buy I live in a very haunted house so guess I'm immune cause I deal with real ghosts everyday lol but that movie is a really good time to watch ...
This movie, is so fucking good. Its just amazing. Great reaction guys!
I still remember how there was a sigh of relief throughout the audience once it seemed like the mystery had been solved. The second everyone realized that it was fake out, the place was shocked lol Her coming out of the tv was an epic moment
@@d3l3tes00n it still gives me the creeps! I cant watch this movie within proximity to a tv 😂
This movie nailed atmosphere, it reminds me of the Mothman Prophecies for the unsettling vibe it has.
I remember watching this at my high school gym with the senior class for our senior class movie night. Right after, someone told a friend to call his cell phone, so it rang right after the movie was over, he answered it, said "7 days!?" and ran away screaming. it was a fun moment after a freaky movie lol. That's a memory I remember with fondness.
I don't watch horror movies in general, but I made an exception for this one. SUPER well done, intelligent, thought provoking, unnerving.
This movie will always have a special place in my mind.
When I watched this movie the first time I had rented it on VHS. And we'll you all know what happens when a VHS tape runs out, you get the white and black "ant war" on your screen. 😱
About 5-10 seconds later the phone rings.... Me, a scared to death 14 year old feel my blood freeze and just stay still for about 30 min. 🥶
The next day my grandmother called and wonder why the hell we didn't pick up the phone. 🤣
This movie is still darn frightening. Everyone has a TV close by.
I lifted mine into the closet before watching this reaction 😂
Two really good horror movies - the original Candyman from the 1990s and The Descent. The Descent is especially terrifying. If you watch The Descent, be sure to watch the British ending rather than the American ending.
seconding on the descent!
Definitely The Descent
Yeah the British ending is way better
The Ring Two is just as great!! It answers more questions and dives more into Samara's story. Must watch!
Absolutely 😀
I would have watched that aswell
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.
Whoa...I woulda freaked out!
you stand with ms heard that speaks volumes!
Quarantine, dark skies, let me in, drag me to hell, vacancy, 30 days of night, hellfest, cursed, joy ride, the witch, you're next, the fourth kind, fav franchise scream, indie pick blood quantum. Have fun I know there's tons more. 👍🏽
It Follows is a great horror movie. Both unique and referential at the same time with a haunting score and atmosphere/cinemtography.
Agreed. such a great modern horror
I had the same exact feeling the first time I watched this. was not expecting much from this movie but it really blowed my expectations out!
I watched the Japanese first (on a VHS tape, no less) at like 2 in the morning. When Sadako (her name in Ringu) crawled out of the TV i fucking flew 10 feet in the air. Maybe the special effects in this one are better, but in the original they're more powerful, I feel, more gritty.
I remember watching this with my dad on dvd. After we finished, the telephone rang and was horrifying 🤣
When this movie came out I was a sophomore in high school saw it in theatres and we ALL in theatres loved it. It was a great movie. Naomi watts was great in this roll.
the ring & the grudge were the scariest movies i’ve ever seen growing up but yet they’re both my favourite horror movies .
The son is clairvoyant. He sees things that nobody else can. There really is not many jump scared which I think benefits the movie. What is does have is atmosphere. It’s dark and moody and unsettling. That video really creeped me out the first time I saw this movie.
Actually, this is my fav movie of all time, and I can't count how many times I've rewatched it lol, it makes me calm and scream in appreciating every artistic element of it, and I am really thankful that you guys pointed and appreciated the visuals of it because it is literally flawless, the blueish color scheme with the shooting locations alongside the genius soundtrack by hans zimmer "which is also my fav score of all time" really set to tone to an out of this world psychological experience.
the details and hints are insaneeeee even the concept of the title of the movie itself when they make random rings through the movie that connects everything. it's sooooo freaking good and artistic I can't stop talking about it. everything is very well done and perfect to my eyes, it messed up my childhood and that fear has changed to be obsession haha. glad you watched it/liked it. I get super happy when ppl can appreciate this work of art!!!!!!!
This movie gave me the same uneasy feeling all the way through, and it didn’t quite go away for a couple of days. I also got kind of creeped out every time I heard static after seeing this.
The really funny thing is that Daveigh Chase, who plays Samara, used to come into the Mexican restaurant that my friend Lori had a karaoke show. I went to see Lori every Thursday, and Daveigh would frequently by there with her mom and some of her hound acting school friends to sing karaoke. I’m kind of glad I didn’t recognize her in the movie, because that might have diminished by enjoyment of the film knowing that I knew the girl who is playing Samara, had watched sing karaoke, and what a nice kid she is.
Someone else has probably mentioned this, but she is also the voice of Lilo in Lilo and Stitch.
I feel like people forget how brilliantly done -- both in visuals and music -- The Ring is. It's visually so eerie and beautiful and surreal, the effect is entirely unsettling. And Hans Zimmer did the music, which is easily one of my favourite horror movie scores. SO GOOD.
Why does it feel so comfortable to watch movies again with these guys??
It’s like i am really with them and enjoying the moments :D
Love this Channel!
When Samara got out of the tv I felt of my couch! Thank you for the reaction
I love the practical makeup FX by Rick Baker, and also how the Video changes slightly on different viewing. Like when Samara is climbing out of the well.
In my opinion, i think that mystery/thriller/horror movies are the best genre.
We're you got that eerie feeling throughout the whole movie and you sitting at home and also trying to figure out the mystery for yourself
the grudge literally gives me anxiety so when yall showed the movie poster I screamed lol
Lmao well u gotta watch it with us
@@whitenoisereacts let's hope i can 😂
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)
@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 my sister does to me all the time bc she knows i hate it, i literally have to cover my ears lol 😂
Here are some movies that I'd recommend!
The Descent
The Ritual
Sinister
Midsommar
Wrong Turn (1 or 2, 2's the best)
I hope you like these! And as always, loved the reaction guys! You're the best!
Ghost Ship and 13 Ghosts!! House of Wax. There's tons still, guys.
Fun fact! The girl who plays Samara is the same girl who plays Lilo in all the Lilo and Stitch franchises!
Its the fact that this movie traumatized me as a kid so much so that its been what? almost 18 years and i'm still terrified of the classic long hair over the face look
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.
This movie teaches how a remake should be.
A surprisingly good spook I found came from Grave Encounters. One of the exceptionally few found footage films that I like, it also has characters who aren't stupid or annoying and act like real people. The atmosphere and tension are well done, and the big scares are sure to leave an impact. A single sentence synopsis: 'the crew of a phoney ghost hunting TV show encounter a legitimate haunting.'
Ok, which of Jame's screams is the best, at 15:53 Or 22:35? 🤣🤣🤣 Best reaction so far!
Lmao don’t tease me!
Love this movie! I need someone to react to "The Fourth Kind"! The best movie about Ovnis ever! They show real material too! It really leaves you wondering if they are up there doing things on earth. 👽👽
Fun Fact! The girl who played Samara is the same girl who voiced Lilo in Lilo and Stitch.
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.
Honestly one of my favourite horror movies of all time:)
with horror it’s always good to look into foreign cinema if you want to experience something different to jump scares and remakes. one movie that is not horror but leaves me uneasy is Memories of Murder by Bong Joon-ho (director of Parasite), and another one is The Wailing from 2016 and also Korean, so chilling. Asian cinema has always been amazing at horror.
This movie honestly has been THE scariest movie I had ever seen. I was so scared I cried multiple times. I was in high school when it came out so I wasn't a child that could VERY easily be scared and I wasn't an adult that had built up enough of a tolerance for horror, so I think that's part of why it was so incredibly scary for me when I first watched it. But it legitimately was exactly how a horror movie should be. It had all the elements and then some. It was anxiety-inducing, uncomfortable, eerie, unsettling, disgusting, depressing, and had the right amount of shocks. And I think it was a great story, definitely a psychological horror. And I liked that Rachel wasn't portrayed as a typical "hero". She tries to solve the mystery originally because she was going to die, so she was initially trying to save herself. She was not taking it fully seriously until her son watched the tape and then it became absolutely imperative for her to figure out how to stop it. And the twist at the end. You really thought that she did the right thing, it just made sense to get Samara's body out and lay her to rest... but it was NOT what should have been done. Just a really great way to end the film by not giving you a happy ending that ties up all the loose ends. Ever since I watched this movie, I haven't seen anything else that has given me the same type of scare. Again, maybe it was just the timing, but any other scary movie I've seen after it just doesn't quite hit the mark. Only other one that comes close to me is The Grudge.
Absolutely agree. I don't get creeped out by jumpscares or a crazy slasher movies.
Is that movies who got that eerie and creepy tone, atmosphere, the mystic feeling and of course the music
its quite a long movie and a lot of people left before the Scene with Noah on opening weekend, and complained it was a boring movie, it was only after people where like "You havent seen the ending" !
Wow! Nice! Amazing reactions, dialogue, and analysis (I just joined yall channel fam). You guys nailed it, with the unsettling feelings, from the disturbing imagery (This is my favorite Horror Movie of alltime - No matter how many times I watch this, it scares the sh*t out of me every time, lmao).
My favourite memory of watching this film, was at my 12th birthday sleep over and as soon as the film ended using my phone to ring the house phone. I've never seen girls jump more
I think the word you're looking for is disturbing lol. I remember seeing this in theaters and it made a serious impression on me. Horror hadn't really dipped into that realm yet back then from what I remember. More hack and slash and less thought provoking. The moody way this was shot with the gray/blueish undertone really added an extra spooky factor for me too. The sound design also contributed a fair amount. That initial droning sound at the beginning of the tape pulls you in and boy does it stick with you even afterwards.
"lights-out" is a good movie
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.
The concept of this movie reminds me a lot of back in the day when those creepy chain emails were going around saying something along the lines of "if you don't forward this email to at least 10 people a creepy girl will appear at the end of your bed at night" anyone know what I'm talking about or agree?
Also many years ago I had extremely long dark hair like Samara and i used to scare the crap out of my little sister when we were kids pretending to be her. She is in her 20s now and she still talks about it lol
The Ring is, in my opinion, an un-recognized masterpiece.
I remember after the first time I watched this, I really hated having a TV at the end of my bed!
But now it's my go to horror, I loved that it focused more on the psychological than the physical horror.
Are you planning to react to the sequel?
It delves further into the origin of Samara, which was something I noted you both wanted to know more on, and I always found it tied alot of unanswered questions up.
I COMPLETELY AGREE THE CONCEPT THE CINEMATOGRAPHY THE ATMOSPHERE, IST A GENIUS!! THEY TOOK OUT JAPANESE HORROR MOVIE CULTURE AND MIXED IT WITH AMERICAN MOVIE CULTURE AND IT RESULTED TO THIS MASTERPIECE!
6:34 "Relating to the young kids!"
[Steve Buscemi voice] "How do you do, fellow kids?"
I used to live in a centuries old house, on an isolated archipelago, my home place.
There i watched that movie when i was 12, alone with my 9 y old brother. A few seconds after the movie ended, we suddenly started hearing loud and frantic scratching in the wall behind us, in the roof, in the floor... We were terrified. Then it stopped just before our mom came back home. We went to bed in our shared bedroom and argued a lot about whether to kept the door close our open, not wanting for her to hide behind either side of it. We settled for an angle we could see both side at the same time. As the days went, we started getting flies in the house, a LOT, like something BIG had died in the sealed off attic.
Turns out, it was just a rat with insane timing....or was it just that?
I always felt a bit crept out while looking out the window at our field behind the house, leading into the dark woods, where truly weird and to this day still unexplainable shit has happened to me and a few of my friends.
Samara had some psychic power which she herself couldn't even control. Everyone around her was affected by the power and some went crazy, or even death. Even the mom couldn't handle it anymore, she loved her but things has to end. Too bad even after she died, the power never stops.
This movie isn't scary to me but I really like the story, the beautiful cinematography and the music. Glad you guys had a chance to watch it.
Yeah, it's more unsettling than scary.
@@Cangaca777 true !
Thanks for the great reaction, guys! This is a really good movie, and I think it's underrated but iconic! And you should also watch the movie Mama ( 2013). This is a film with a very cool idea and atmosphere. You will not regret
Check out the movie called *Pyewacket* it's not commonly known, but the scares in it are subtle enough to give a hell of a scare!
YOOOOOO I AGREE DUDE THAT MOVIE WAS SCARY ASF
Yay. I love that you’re reacting to one of my favorite horror movies. To this day, the fact that they were never suppose to release Samara, will always go down as one of my favorite twists in horror movie history. I still I remember watching this as a kid, and I could still remember the screams from my theater as Samara crawled out of the screen.
Sleepaway Camp, is a hidden horror classic gem
Two things:
1. "Scary Movie 3" is a parody of The Ring and 8 Mile, it would be awesome to see yalls reaction to it! The Ring is pretty eerie/creepy film, big fan myself.
2. For pretty wild imagery 2013's "Evil Dead" is beautiful with disgusting and great practical effects, a real horror joy ride, the ending😈
The "Scary Movie"s are so good in general, they are so funny and well made, must watch! I hope our guys here go for it. 🤔👌
The House on Haunted Hill (1999) is pretty good, would recommend
I've been watching horror since I was ten years old but this one still gives me goosebumps. Definitely has a special place in my heart. Watching this, I really started to recognize cinematography as an art form.
If you want other recommendations, definitely watch THE DESCENT.
The Orphanage is also a very good Horror.
