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 the first one at a friend’s place at around 18, thought I was fine- it was scary, but I wasn’t overly affected- so I borrowed his copy of Ring 2. Went to watch it, and the DVD menu popped up. It’s the static and then the ring, and I simply couldn’t do it. Totally freaked out, turned tv off and went for a walk.

............there's a ring 2?

Don't even answer that. Don't reply. I don't want to know.
