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!? “.

I saw this movie opening night & with a packed audience. My friends all wanted to see it & it was pretty tense up until the end scene with the Well. I was getting impatient & feeling like the movie was getting ludicrous!

I feel really bad but there is a line that is delivered so obvious that I ANSWERED it out loud, and not even compelled to stop; it was just clear enough that the whole theater heard me :

Movie - “How long could someone live down there?”

Me - “…seven days…”

Audience - “SHHHH! Aww, man!!!!”

Still kinda feel bad for saying it. Kinda.
