Ok, I just watched this movie the other day and I'm confused!!!! Near the end, I noticed the little boy started calling his mom (or who I thought was his mom) by her first name, Rachel. Did I miss something or was this a mistake, or was he not her son? So Rachel helped release the little girl, Samara, and then the boy said that she wasn't supposed to do that. Then Noah dies and Rachel rushes around and realizes she made a copy of the tape. Then her and the boy are sitting there making another copy?! Then the movie ends! Oh man, what did I miss? Where did I go wrong? Can anyone help?

This is how I remember it, but it was a long time ago that I saw the film. The girl in the well was evil, there was no way to stop the curse (or whatever it was) by finding out the truth of what happened to her. The only thing you could do to save yourself was to make a copy of the tape and give it to someone else, so that they would die instead of you. Rachel realised she was safe because she made the copy at work, so she forces her son to make a copy so that he will be safe too. End result: they're ok but there are more copies of the tape around for other people to see. I can't remember anything about the boy calling her mom or Rachel, as far as I remember he was her son. Hope that helps!

Thanks so much Kitt, that makes a little more sense to me now.

His name is Aidan. He is Rachel's son. Because they both had seen the tape, they would die unless they made a copy of the tape. Now you're ready for Ring2 Danielsbabe!

Okay basically this was like a spooky creepy, deadly chain letter. The reason as stated in the movie, that Rachel and her son didn't die was because the made a copy of the tape but then they have to show someone else the tape and have them make a copy (then they tell two friends and so on....) The girl Samara wanted everyone to feel the pain and torutre she went through because she was different and isolated. The treatment by her mother (drowing her in the well) and her abilities warped her (or she was warped when they adopted her) which was made worse by the treatment of her parents. So basically her leaving the video clues and scaring people to death was a way to get freed and it was her way sharing pain. Remember her quote "everyone will suffer" of course I only heard this line in the trailer and not in the actual movie, but whatver. I liked the japanese version better it made more sense.

ACK ACK ACK! We saw the previews tonight for it, I got up and left the room....hubby hollered after asking if I wanted to go to the movies with him, lol. I completely freaked out on the first one (so unlike me, I usually love this stuff!) and had to leave the house til it was over!

Good idea, Hippyt. I like to rent them and watch them during the day - not quite as scary as in the dark.
