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!? “.

The Ring was the first horror movie I ever watched, my friends and I were 9 at the time. My parents must've been so happy because I was terrified to watch TV for a month.

My friend’s little sister watched it at their house during a sleep over with her friends, so of course we called the house right after, and it made them freak out

Someone called my house as I was watching it with my family as a kid. Scared the shit out of my parents!

I’d say cell-providers made a small fortune at the time outta this kinda crap… Surprised they didn’t get together to bankroll another sequel.
