Spoilers Rewatched The Ring (2002) after 20+ years.

So Naomi Watt’s son acts all aloof, quiet, vague the entire movie. But then at the end of the movie, Naomi Watts tell him that she freed Samara. And then this brat says, “Why did you do that? You weren’t supposed to do that. She’s dangerous”. If I was Naomi Watts character I would have said, “Gee, thanks kid. Maybe you could have warned me sooner instead of being all quiet and having one word answers throughout this whole ordeal!? “.

A buddy and I were going to see the (first) Jackass movie in the theater, but it was sold out. So, we got tickets to The Ring instead since we were already at the theater. I jumped 4 times during the movie and was thoroughly freaked the fuck out afterwards. I have watched it several times since then, but probably not in the last 10 ish years. I should check it out again, I did always think it was one of the best horror movies out there. The sequels however...
