If you want to scream your guts out, we recommend you watch The Ring. The film's been voted the scariest film of the decade after all. Here's some trivia on it:
>>u00a0The Ring is a 2002 American horror film directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Naomi Watts and Martin Henderson. It is an American remake of the 1998 Japanese horror film Ringu. Both films are based on Koji Suzuki's novel Ringu and focus on a mysterious cursed videotape which contains a seemingly random series of disturbing images. After watching the tape, the viewer receives a phone call in which a girl's voice announces that the viewer will die in seven days.
>>u00a0The role of Rachel was first offered to Jennifer Connelly. The script was then offered to Gwyneth Paltrow, and then to Kate Beckinsale, and finally Naomi Watts got to play the role.
>>u00a0The Ring sold more than 2 million DVD copies in the US alone in its first 2 hours of video release.
>>u00a0On its first week of release in the US and Canada, select cinemas put actual copies of the cursed tape on seats for unsuspecting viewers as freebies.
>>u00a0The Moesko Island Lighthouse is a fictional name for a real lighthouse located in Newport, Oregon. Built in 1873, the real lighthouse is named Yaquina Head Lighthouse and is still currently an active aid to navigation.
>>u00a0 When Noah and Rachel uncover the well, they drop a rock to see how deep it is, and we hear it drop on the bottom of concrete. BUt when Rachel falls into the well, she falls in water, not on concrete.
