Ratchel sees the centipede from the video when shes sifting through the papers in the father's house remember?? Right before she watches that medical video of samara and hes standing right behind her, illuminated by the lighthouse light. I think it was forshadowing, like the blood in the water that was the hourse on the ferry later on.

I think the mother just started going crazy on her own and both parents blamed Samara so they stuck her up in the barn. This could be why she became so evil and eventually was killed at the hands of her mother. Or maybe from the minute she was born she was evil but just led Rachel to believe she wasn't so she could be set free.

i think she was inherently evil. Remember the dad saying "MY WIFE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CHILD!!" and remember they had misscarried like 50 times or some shit. Then they went over seas and came back with Samara:confused: suspiscous no?? I think they got her through less than ordinary means and she was making the mom go crazy. Somethings mentioned in there about her projecting images (the images on the tape i imagine) to the mother and thats why the mother was put in the mental hospital.

They figured out it was samara and they put her in the barn.

I'd be willing to say any child that was treated like Samara would end up fucked in the head.

Shitty childhood from birth, shitty mom that killed her, had to live in the attict of a barn all alone, had to get psychiatric help cuz had strange visions.

Well, if that were me, I'd probably be a pissed off demon too.

I really thought everyone perceived it that way...I mean, wasn't that what the movie was about?...Maybe I missed something:confused: :confused:

Am I the only one who HAS NOT seen this movie yet? I guess I'm gonna have to break down and rent it. I'm always reluctant to watch any recent horror movie.

of all the recent movies, it's gotten the most mixed reaction I've seen. Personally, I loved it, as anybody who's seen my top 79 movies would know. Either watch The Ring or Ringu, and whichever one you see first is the one you'll prefer. I'd reccomend Ringu, although I saw The Ring first. Ringu is shorter and more compact, and the big finish is done way better.
