I'm starting off October by watching The Ring (the 2002 remake with Naomi Watts) - I've never seen it before. (I have a few movies lined up for October; out of them, I've only seen Scream 1 and 2)

Great, now I'm going to expect to see Sadako in every reflection in this movie. (I know her name is changed for this version, though I'm not sure what it is)

Cindy! The TV's leaking!

Aidan (the kid) is kind of unsettling. (Referring to his mom by her first name doesn't help)

The brief glimpse of Katie's post-Sadako face is disturbing.

Noah (guessing he's Aidan's dad?) isn't taking this seriously. (I get that the idea of a cursed video tape is hard to swallow)

I'm guessing this and Scream popularized the idea of having caller ID.

(and/or inspired a lot of prank phone calls)

It's interesting - so far, it's more about investigative journalism than horror.

Great, now she's unleashed a cursed fly into the world.

The days are going by faster than I thought - it's already day 5.

Visibly grossed out at Rachel pulling a strand of hair (or a wire? Looked like it had an electrode on the end) out of her mouth.

After the horse suicide, there was a split second where the ring was on-screen.

"You don't want to hurt anyone."
"But I do and I'm sorry."

Seems ambiguous if she means she does hurt people and she's sorry or she does want to hurt people and she's sorry.

Even before the reveal of the well's location, the movie does a good job at making Sadako's presence felt in the surrounding area.

Well, that was a dark twist. (Regarding Samara's death)

All things considered, it's got to be horrifying for Rachel to see Aidan asleep on the floor with his limbs sprawled out like that.

I like how Samara/Sadako is almost like the shark from Jaws - we only catch glimpses of her until the end.

The static at the end lasted just long enough for me to feel my gut drop.

I liked it. Not as scary as I expected outside of a couple of scenes.

The movie was more suspenseful than scary, but it was engaging throughout (I was interested in seeing them figure out how the curse worked) and the people behind the movie did well with making the supernatural elements feel present through the shots/camerawork.
