A lot of people like it not because it is super scary, but because of the structure of the film. It plays out much like a Noir mystery film. It's like a horror detective film.
I find the humid atmosphere of the film so pleasant. The cinematography is just great. I actually find it very cozy, weirdly enough. It was a scary movie when I was a kid, now it’s a comfort movie I put on when I’m hit with melancoly.
It WAS one of the scariest for its time. Not as much now. It was like a very popular FAD of scariness that went up and down pretty fast. Parodies didn’t help either. At the time, the TV scene and the “long black hair” look was NEW iconic figures in horror. But again that died down. I was hoping for a sequel they could add things that would have STAYING power. But Ring 2 failed. Only if I was there to help…
@@lessismore8533 Yeah, now people have all seen Scary Movie and the long black hair has become basically a meme at this point. But back when this came out, it genuinely scared a lot of people. I was a teen, and I can't tell you how freaked out I was one night when I feel asleep with the tv on and woke up to static. Also, I lived pretty close to where it was filmed so...
"their face is what they'd look like if they were lying underwater and a camera took a photo of them" omg i have seen this movie several times and never figured out that this is the reason behind the blurred faces in the photos once someone has watched the video. nice catch!!
Every time Aiden says "you weren't supposed to help her" I still get chills. There's a sequel to this movie, too, if you fancy jumping back into this story.
There are so many subliminal images in this film. One example is the caretaker a Shelter Mountain who does the card trick for Rachel. After many failed attempts before she finally leaves the office and he gives it one last go he draws the seven of spades and she finally concedes and says "thats it' dispite it still being wrong. Spades are used to dig (as on a well) and seven is the number of days. It's a movie worth multiple viewings...... Oh and sulphur is the smell you were looking for when it comes to a demonic presence.
I should add, as a seasoned horror hound, this came out when I was 18 and it still managed to deeply disturb me. And, yes, it's more of a psychological horror/mystery than something full on visceral.
Excellent spot about that 7 of spades! I love little hidden hints like this throughout a movie and i would never have noticed this. Thanks for confirming what the weird smell is too, i knew it was something that isn't too nice haha. Thanks for the comment and checking out the video mate 😊
@@JackDanReact there's great foreshadowing in this film. The scene where Rachel copied the tape for Noah the fly appears on two separate screens but it's the same size despite the second screen being noticeably smaller than the main screen.
I remember seeing this in the theater with a GREAT audience. The silence was so thick and oppressive, which was perfect for this slower-burn mystery. When the crane shot came in after Rachel saw Samara's memories and they "rescued" her, I was so disappointed because it felt like such a cliché ending. But THEN. Oh, then. "You weren't supposed to help her." Noah's ending was TERRIFYING. Thanks for reacting to this! Loving your channel so far.
I saw this movie in the theatres when it came out in 2002 with a bunch of friends everyone there was freaking out it was the first of its kind many of the cliches today came from the popularity of this film so it was scary as shit back in the day. Not to mention at the time there were so many terrible horror movies and the storyline in this was actually amazing. After we all saw the movie we would call it each others houses and whisper 7 days as a silly joke. God I feel old
I was in first grade when it came out, but I remember reading the chain letter texts and emails my older sister would get with the the “seven days” line and picture of Samara and they scared me SO BADLY. By the time I was in middle school the sequel had come out so it was still a thing! The chain letters and prank calls from friends are a core memory now but back then they were my worst nightmare. 😅😂
The scariest part of this film for me is that Samara is played by the same girl who did the voice of Lilo in Lilo & Stitch. I now see this as a "if Stitch never appeared" sort of movie.
I saw this when it came out in the theater and when the girl came out of the TV it was like a bomb went off in the theater. People were screaming, yelling, and howling. It was crazy.I think this is one of the best horror films ever. Actually, it's better than the original Japanese version.
The first girl's death face at 8:19 was scary the first time, until I heard a reactor suggest that she looks like she just got the most thoughtful gift ever. Now that's all I see when I look at her.
I wish it was even possible to explain how INSANE the series of books this film is based on gets. And I don’t mean like ‘omg such a twist!’ type insane. I mean like insane insane.
The end shows you that if you made a copy and showed it to someone else, you would be spared for spreading her story because in the asylum she said she wanted to be heard, by showing it to someone else you are spreading her story, that’s why she made her son make the copy and now he is gonna have to show it to someone else, Rachel already showed it to her ex so she was automatically spared from the start, Rachel’s husband didn’t spread her story so he died.
I think what made the Ring hit different was because it was basically the first of its kind. At the time, horror meant MONSTERS, for example; The Exorcist, Scream, Nightmare on Elm St, or Halloween. This style of slow, creepy, atmospheric, and disturbingly real horror - people were shocked. So yeah, as always when you go back things are never as fresh or novel. We have movies that definitely exceed The Ring in every aspect now so you'll never get that feeling we did when we saw it in theatres.
This gets said a lot about older movies (staples like The Blair Witch Project for instance) but it rarely holds up imo. A lot of the time it's not about the formula itself but really just about taste and expectations. I saw this remake fairly recently, as an adult and i was fully in it tbh.. i was immersed and loved the presentation of it all - i also wasn't trying my hardest to be funny with a mate or for an audience so there's that as well
16:51 In the original 1998 Japanese Ringu, after Reiko watched the video and turned the TV off, we see the reflection of Sadako standing behind the couch staring down at Reiko. It was the first time we caught a glimpse of Sadako in the film and for many of us growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, that was the first time seeing an onryō. I remember taking my TV out of my room for a week after watching Ringu 😂
Great reaction guys. Basically samaras curse is like a virus, and she spares you if you spread it becauseall she wants is to be heard and hurt people. So making a copy and having someone watch that copy you pass it on to them and it spares you. Highly recommend watche the short film "Rings" (not the 3rd movie which is the same title) before watching the ring 2
I like the fact that you guys noticed and appreciated Rachel's absolute contempt for her boss! Most people don't really notice that. It's at about 11:40-12:15 in your video... I think it's just magnificent, the way she ignores him, disregards him, and shoos him away as if he were an annoying little gnat. He's her boss!!!! It's just breathtaking, her total lack of concern for anything he might think, say, or do... I guess, plot-wise, that scene is probably important because it shows how Rachel manages to stay obsessively preoccupied with the mystery of the videotape despite having a nine-to-five job.
There are two sequels and a short movie after this movie. “2005 The Ring Two” “”2005 Rings short film” that takes place between this movie and “The Ring Two” and 2017 Rings that takes place about 13 years after the Ring Two. I also would recommend you both checking them out AS WELL as the Original Japanese movies “Ringu, Ringu 2 and Ringu Birthday. And everyone who’s commented and suggested The Grudge YES definitely a must see.
I was aware of the Ring movie that came out in 2017 but not the other ones you mentioned so thanks for the info, and the explanation on the time periods between them! 😊 I've definitely been thinking about checking out the original Japanese version too since watching the first. The Grudge seems like a movie too good in this genre to pass up on!
This movie scared the shit out of me when I watched it back in 2002 at the age of 14. I had nightmares for weeks! First and only horror movie to do that to me. It doesn't seem that impressive rewatching it now, but at the time it was seriously disturbing lol.
I remember this being on the TV when I was like 12 and decided to dare a watch. When Katie’s face popped up it terrified me to my core. I immediately shut it off and was traumatized for years. Now being 30 this movie is really tame😂 But I’m also a huge horror fan now and have seen so many movies haha
The movies tone and build up wiuldve been completely ruined if it built up to one big cheesy jumpscare at the end. Or when a scene is scaring the shit out of you without any jumpscare at all, like Samara crawling out of the TV.The way you know a movie is building tension right is when you jump at the more subtle "jumpscares". Like the TV static kicking in after the tape plays. The movie balanced the horror perfectly. Its like people who watch the blair witch project for the first time expecting a jumpscare fest and then being disappointed when it isnt that.
You guys are so fun, I'm delighted to have a new reaction channel to follow! If you want to continue with horror I'd kill for you to watch Rec. (2007) if you haven't seen it, first movie to ever properly creep me out and still in my top 3 horror movies 17 years later.
Thanks so much, really appreciate the kind words, glad to have you here! I've not seen Rec so that'll definitely go on the list, thanks for the recommendation!
As an associate PI I am very impressed with your ability to identify danger blood. That's some pretty advanced stuff, are you guys sure you aren't trained professionals??
It might not be the scariest- but I saw this movie as an 11yr old and the empty white room with a chair was a nightmare for a lonnnng time lol. Great reaction boys! Made me actually laugh out loud and I love that!
This movie was actually filmed in and around the Seattle area of Washington State, which is where I grew up. A lot of these filming locations were places I had been to multiple times. You can imagine how much scarier it was for me, seeing this movie at 11 and *recognizing places!* I couldn't sleep for a week afterword, terrified that I was going to die. Now it's my favorite scary movie. XD
Watching this as a 10 or so year old, the horse scene was the one that scarred me the most, to the point I couldn’t ever really watch this movie more than two or three times. And I’ve loved scary movies since I was a tiny person!
I’m not sure about where you are, but in the states it’s very common to have one outlet in a room hooked up to a switch so you can plug in a lamp and use the switch to flip it on
I just watched your reaction to the Ring movie. This movie was weird and creepy not really scary to me anyway but very interesting. Thank you for your reactions Jack and Dan!! I have a question have either of you seen the movie Stay (2005)? Just curious it's one of those movies that is unsettling to this day for me. It has the same actress in the ring but has Ryan Gosselin and Ewan McGregor. It's more independent film vibe. I love it and it's such a strange but interesting movie. Look up trailer it's interesting believe me. Thank as always chaps for your reactions. Happy Holidays to you both and your families!!! Peace.🤗😊🤯🦃🎄🎁
Saw this in the theater when it came out. Came home, went to my room and my TV switched to static the second I looked at it. Never did that before or after. Always showed a blue screen instead of static. I noped out of that room and had to gather my wits before going back in.
Racheal thought if they helped Samara she would be at peace. What she fell to understand is Samara didn't want help, she wanted to kill. She was pure evil and there was not an once of compassion or empathy within her.
I adore your reactions! They make me laugh, when I feel down. Thank you so mich for blessing us with these ❤ Also is there a possibility to reach your gaming channel?
it shows the kid getting ready by himself on multiple occasions, in the morning he's making himself lunch for school, n tells her hes leaving to go to school n she's inside her room n doesn't even respond. it shows a pattern that he's gotten to use taking care of himself bcuz his mom isn't around much, or doesn't do much. he calls her by her name and not mom, which shows a disconnect between them. so not taking him to school was not the only thing they made their opinion on.
I personally love this movie because of the slow burn and the shock ending. Also when I first saw this in theatres I was 11 years old, and I had to have my mom remove the tv from my bedroom. So it would have hit a lot harder if you saw this as a kid!
Fun reaction guys! A couple of others you might enjoy are The Grudge and Shutter. And one you SHOULD DEFINATELY WATCH is Train To Busan. Its a korean film and if you decide to watch it do not watch the english dubbed version. It's AMAZING and everyone I've watched react to it says the same!!
@@sc1338 Yeah I'm sure women are a monolith who all speak in one voice. A lot of women actually dislike the fantasy of a perfect mother so many people have because then people hold mothers to unrealistic standards that they never would to the dads.
I have always wondered if the writers intended for us to think that Noah's new girlfriend Beth was supposed to secretly have some connection to Samara. Maybe she IS Samara, or was, years earlier. Just her long black hair made me wonder... Like, maybe she was supposed to be some part of Samara that actually physically escaped from the well, whilst leaving part of her soul behind to become the demonic Samara whom we all know and (don't) love. It might make sense... the young adult Beth would be about the right age for that. When Rachel leaves Noah's apartment at the end, we see Beth standing by the elevator on the ground floor of the building. Maybe she wasn't waiting for the elevator to take her up, but rather had just taken the elevator DOWN from Noah's apartment, after having somehow merged with the spirit of Samara right after Samara killed Noah. Maybe she was just collecting her thoughts, preparing herself for some new unholy onslaught on the world... I know, this is a crazy theory, but if you ever watch Silent Hill you'll understand how my theory might make "sense," in the world of horror movies.
PS the sequels ended up taking things in various other directions, but I still think the writers might have had something similar to my theory in mind, when they first made The Ring.
19:22 mind you she literally said she doesn't think he should watch it like *maybe* 20 seconds prior.. can't wait for y'all to start paying attention tbh
You guys should have seen when this initially came out how audiences reacted when that little girl crawled through the screen. NO ONE saw that coming and it was a genuine fright to us all. O_O
16:34 constrict? Contrac-- yeah 51:53 because she went from darkness to looking straight up into light... I'm keeping my eyes on my computer, I'm not watching this with y'all 55:50 i knew smth was wrong bUT _I FORGOT SHE WASNT SUPPOSED TO_
This movie brings me conflicting emotions. I was 15 when I watched it at my friends house. Never been so terrified in my whole life, and at 37, I sill can't have a telly in my room.....but that night was also the first time I slept with another girl....it was a confusing night lol.
It's been ridiculous for a long while but now it's just absurd like... If you know of fairly sound-minded reaction channels i'm all ears bc finding good ones has become beyond silly lmao (be it music, shows, movies or games)
All comedy aside this movie brings to light a good question. Just how far would you go to protect your child? She most certainly would not have won mother of the year, but she did find her kid at the end. There's something to be said for the fact that she was clearly abandoned by her baby daddy, until they needed his help and then he still only showed up long enough to do that. Would he have stuck around if he had lived? I doubt it. But at the end when they found out that it was the copy that protected you, and having somebody else watch it, that's the question. knowing that whomever you show it to will die would you do it to protect your child? Because in the same token you also know that if you don't then your child will die. So somebody is going to die. So what do you do? Personally I would go find me some pedophiles, put them all in a theater and make them watch it. problem solved.
I believe she did not die because someone watched the tape before the 7 days was up so, for you to be save you need someone else to watch the tape before your time is up and that would be a never ending cycle of doom atleast that's how I understand it. 🤔
far too few reaction channels comment on the AWFUL parenting in this movie THANK YOU! Scary Movie 3 commented on it ruthlessly with it's Ring parody 😆 also that actor who played Ring Girl's dad is fantastic in Autopsy of Jane Doe, if you fancy reacting to a horror movie that would be extremely difficult to make youtube safe (all the nudity, all the gore, all the good stuff)
I had to stop 22 minutes in because they kept making the same joke every few seconds. She isn’t a terrible mother, not a typical one. I was making my own pbj lunches in fourth grade and I lived around the corner from the school and walked. The amount of people nowadays, when told not to watch a video because of how terrible it is, yet still watch the video, it is not surprising to me that she may not believe the video has powers to kill. Millions of people would be skeptic and watch it
Everyone is weird??? In this horror movie???? Get out! No way! People normally acting so chill in horror movies… You think Rachel is a bad mother??? At least she’s raising him unlike his deadbeat dad…
This movie traumatized me as a kid. Now, all I can think about is how much I can’t STAND the color grading. It’s even worse than Twilight which is god awful. In what world would anyone color grade an entire film to be green blue
You two are adorable. I'd watch more of your reactions....I would really enjoy watching shows with you two, yet the ones you have on your channel so far are not really my cup of tea. Have watched a few though.
Oh and forgot to add "DANGER BLOOD!"

You can imagine how much scarier it was for me, seeing this movie at 11 and *recognizing places!* I couldn't sleep for a week afterword, terrified that I was going to die. Now it's my favorite scary movie. XD
Watching this as a 10 or so year old, the horse scene was the one that scarred me the most, to the point I couldn’t ever really watch this movie more than two or three times. And I’ve loved scary movies since I was a tiny person!
I’m not sure about where you are, but in the states it’s very common to have one outlet in a room hooked up to a switch so you can plug in a lamp and use the switch to flip it on
Two 13 year old kids with beards watching a horror movie 🤣
Honestly, you're not wrong there 😂
one of my fave movies, watched as a kid, as you said it wasnt as scary as you expected but a great way to learn i liked horror!
Loving your channel, new subscripter from Italy.😊
That's so cool! Very glad to have you here all the way from Italy! 😊
@@JackDanReact Thank you! ☺️
I just watched your reaction to the Ring movie. This movie was weird and creepy not really scary to me anyway but very interesting. Thank you for your reactions Jack and Dan!! I have a question have either of you seen the movie Stay (2005)? Just curious it's one of those movies that is unsettling to this day for me. It has the same actress in the ring but has Ryan Gosselin and Ewan McGregor. It's more independent film vibe. I love it and it's such a strange but interesting movie. Look up trailer it's interesting believe me. Thank as always chaps for your reactions. Happy Holidays to you both and your families!!! Peace.🤗😊🤯🦃🎄🎁
Saw this in the theater when it came out. Came home, went to my room and my TV switched to static the second I looked at it. Never did that before or after. Always showed a blue screen instead of static. I noped out of that room and had to gather my wits before going back in.
Racheal thought if they helped Samara she would be at peace. What she fell to understand is Samara didn't want help, she wanted to kill. She was pure evil and there was not an once of compassion or empathy within her.
I adore your reactions! They make me laugh, when I feel down. Thank you so mich for blessing us with these ❤
Also is there a possibility to reach your gaming channel?
You guys have such funny kind nature love your reactions, you are both quite perceptive .. love from Egypt
Have you guys seen the Scream franchise? the movies are mad fun
I've not seen any of them and Dan has seen barely any horrors. The Scream franchise is a bloody brilliant suggestion!
classic Logan Roy preferring to die than to deal with his kids' messes
Love you guys!
was my mom a horrible mom because I walked to school? lol. it was an 8-10 minute walk or so. I didn't think that was a bad thing.
No not necessarily, they're literally just being weird lmao they just decided everyone in the movie sucked and worked backwards from there
fr they needed to chill with that, actually so weird how hard they went with that
it shows the kid getting ready by himself on multiple occasions, in the morning he's making himself lunch for school, n tells her hes leaving to go to school n she's inside her room n doesn't even respond. it shows a pattern that he's gotten to use taking care of himself bcuz his mom isn't around much, or doesn't do much. he calls her by her name and not mom, which shows a disconnect between them. so not taking him to school was not the only thing they made their opinion on.
This reaction was hilarious, I loved it.
Hi guys just started seeing your videos. I recommend you both watch sinister 1&2 .
I personally love this movie because of the slow burn and the shock ending. Also when I first saw this in theatres I was 11 years old, and I had to have my mom remove the tv from my bedroom. So it would have hit a lot harder if you saw this as a kid!
Fun reaction guys! A couple of others you might enjoy are The Grudge and Shutter. And one you SHOULD DEFINATELY WATCH is Train To Busan. Its a korean film and if you decide to watch it do not watch the english dubbed version. It's AMAZING and everyone I've watched react to it says the same!!
Basically it’s a chain letter concept.
the original chain letter concept
If the main character was a man, you wouldn't be freaking about how long it'd been since he'd seen her child, shit
Well women tend to claim they’re more attentive soooo
@@sc1338 Yeah I'm sure women are a monolith who all speak in one voice. A lot of women actually dislike the fantasy of a perfect mother so many people have because then people hold mothers to unrealistic standards that they never would to the dads.
No literally, especially a dad with a son
The paranormal activity series would be hilarious to see you guys react to 😂😂
They Origional Ringu films are weirder I have theme. Im a horror Junkie. Japanese and Korean horror are A must see fellas. ❤ ya
I remember watching this movie and the moment it ended, my phone rang and my heart sank into my ass. It was just my mom lol
4:19 - nope, especially after saltburn- I won’t even swim at a mates house. People licking bottoms of the pool and crazy shit like that. God no.
I have always wondered if the writers intended for us to think that Noah's new girlfriend Beth was supposed to secretly have some connection to Samara. Maybe she IS Samara, or was, years earlier. Just her long black hair made me wonder... Like, maybe she was supposed to be some part of Samara that actually physically escaped from the well, whilst leaving part of her soul behind to become the demonic Samara whom we all know and (don't) love. It might make sense... the young adult Beth would be about the right age for that. When Rachel leaves Noah's apartment at the end, we see Beth standing by the elevator on the ground floor of the building. Maybe she wasn't waiting for the elevator to take her up, but rather had just taken the elevator DOWN from Noah's apartment, after having somehow merged with the spirit of Samara right after Samara killed Noah. Maybe she was just collecting her thoughts, preparing herself for some new unholy onslaught on the world... I know, this is a crazy theory, but if you ever watch Silent Hill you'll understand how my theory might make "sense," in the world of horror movies.
PS the sequels ended up taking things in various other directions, but I still think the writers might have had something similar to my theory in mind, when they first made The Ring.
19:22 mind you she literally said she doesn't think he should watch it like *maybe* 20 seconds prior.. can't wait for y'all to start paying attention tbh
In their defence, she didn't say that with much conviction and she did nothing to stop him from watching it
Thanks for this I laughed my arse off. The music is great in this movie.
You guys should have seen when this initially came out how audiences reacted when that little girl crawled through the screen. NO ONE saw that coming and it was a genuine fright to us all. O_O
41:35 im pretty sure the guy is using echolalia not mocking them
you guys are hilarious. please react to the grudge (2004) if you haven’t seen it already, it’s the other popular american remake of a j-horror film.
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out the video mate! The Grudge is such a good suggestion, it's 100% on the list now!
And the US version was directed by the same guy who directed the Japanese version "Ju-on".
@@dwaterson21 yes! hoping they still plan on watching.
Her pupils are constricting (getting smaller). Not dilating (getting larger). Just so many people don't realize that
Get you a friend the way Dan looks at Jack 17:24 😂 new to your channel but already love your all’s bromance haha.
No literally they always look at each other so intensely, I love it
16:34 constrict? Contrac-- yeah 51:53 because she went from darkness to looking straight up into light...
I'm keeping my eyes on my computer, I'm not watching this with y'all
55:50 i knew smth was wrong bUT _I FORGOT SHE WASNT SUPPOSED TO_
I just checked the rating on IMDB! It said it was rated a 7.1 on the site
I’d take a holy cross and a blindfold😂😂😂
guys, you have to watch talk to me and when evil lurks
I recommend Clue
Happy Halloween! 🎃👀👻
one of my all time favorite films
Haha y'all are funny 😂 new sub 🎉
This movie brings me conflicting emotions. I was 15 when I watched it at my friends house. Never been so terrified in my whole life, and at 37, I sill can't have a telly in my room.....but that night was also the first time I slept with another girl....it was a confusing night lol.
i cant watch men react to any movie with a woman in it anymore lol
It's been ridiculous for a long while but now it's just absurd like... If you know of fairly sound-minded reaction channels i'm all ears bc finding good ones has become beyond silly lmao (be it music, shows, movies or games)
@@soniaiboyako4023 Diegesis and the Media Knights are quite good i think! Reel Rejects too if you dont know them already :)
All comedy aside this movie brings to light a good question. Just how far would you go to protect your child? She most certainly would not have won mother of the year, but she did find her kid at the end. There's something to be said for the fact that she was clearly abandoned by her baby daddy, until they needed his help and then he still only showed up long enough to do that. Would he have stuck around if he had lived? I doubt it. But at the end when they found out that it was the copy that protected you, and having somebody else watch it, that's the question. knowing that whomever you show it to will die would you do it to protect your child? Because in the same token you also know that if you don't then your child will die. So somebody is going to die. So what do you do? Personally I would go find me some pedophiles, put them all in a theater and make them watch it. problem solved.
At the end, we all watch the tape so we have 7 days also 😂
the sexual tension between you guys is so riveting
Ikr 😂
finally someone said it
I believe she did not die because someone watched the tape before the 7 days was up so, for you to be save you need someone else to watch the tape before your time is up and that would be a never ending cycle of doom atleast that's how I understand it. 🤔
You should watch the "sixth sense"
far too few reaction channels comment on the AWFUL parenting in this movie THANK YOU! Scary Movie 3 commented on it ruthlessly with it's Ring parody 😆 also that actor who played Ring Girl's dad is fantastic in Autopsy of Jane Doe, if you fancy reacting to a horror movie that would be extremely difficult to make youtube safe (all the nudity, all the gore, all the good stuff)
Omg yes! Autopsy of Jane Doe is excellent!
Brian Cox, he's been in some great horror movies
Since she was safe from the beginning doesnt that mean the little girl was just messing with her just cause?
The actual short film is the scariest part. Creepy.
I really wish you guys would watch scary movie 3 now
Love you guys, can you watch signs (2002)!?
16:34 constrict? Contrac-- yeah
I'm keeping my eyes on my computer, I'm not watching this with y'all
Whatch part two from the ring
Oh we have it on the list! Looking forward to it too! 😊
@@JackDanReact Don't watch part 3, called Rings. It literally stinks.
Classic Becca behavior 😂😂😂
I had to stop 22 minutes in because they kept making the same joke every few seconds. She isn’t a terrible mother, not a typical one. I was making my own pbj lunches in fourth grade and I lived around the corner from the school and walked. The amount of people nowadays, when told not to watch a video because of how terrible it is, yet still watch the video, it is not surprising to me that she may not believe the video has powers to kill. Millions of people would be skeptic and watch it
She was a ineffectual parent for many reasons.
Main takeaway is MC was very irresponsible😂😂😂
Everyone is weird??? In this horror movie???? Get out! No way! People normally acting so chill in horror movies… You think Rachel is a bad mother??? At least she’s raising him unlike his deadbeat dad…
38:36 WHAT DID THAT SAY
The real question is, are you going to watch the sequel and reboot(?)
This movie traumatized me as a kid. Now, all I can think about is how much I can’t STAND the color grading. It’s even worse than Twilight which is god awful. In what world would anyone color grade an entire film to be green blue
You two are adorable. I'd watch more of your reactions....I would really enjoy watching shows with you two, yet the ones you have on your channel so far are not really my cup of tea. Have watched a few though.
Y'all missed the ending because it isn't until after the credits.
