My first IMDb comment....its important!

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2005)

This is one of my favorite movies. I'm like..obsessed. I know some of you are thinking I'm crazy. This movie, to me, is awesome!
There was some confusion (as i read in other comments) about how the images got on the tape. It WAS mentioned in the movie. The four teens from the beginning were trying to record a football game, when they were staying in CABIN12. Samara, being in the well RIGHT UNDER CABIN12 made the reception bad and as the football game was recorded, the images were placed there instead.
There are parts of this movie that you wont understand until you see The Ring twO. The second one is better. Nothing really happens in the first one. Its an introduction to the story. All it is is Rachel (Naiomi Watts) trying to figure out the mystery. Something ACTUALLY happens in the second one. The second one is definitely bizarre. Mostly cause a Japanese person directed it, instead of Gore Verbinski. They are both great. If you're a GREAT fan of horror movies that aren't really scary, but give you that EERIE feeling when you're watching it..i'd recommend seeing this!
