A friend of mine suggested that he could have been watching Anna kill Samara at the well, but yet the well was no where near the Morgan's property. Also, another suggestion was that Samara could have seen him there from the barn ... but there were no windows in the barn, at least none near Samara's "room". If anyone has any suggestions ... I would appreciate having SOME idea as to what the heck was going on there. Oh ... I also wanted to thank everyone who has been posting in this Forum ... it has been quite amusing and informative and has made my night/early morning much more interesting than I could have anticipated.

Actually, as I first watched it Richard looked like a man with a 50's-style space helmet on. That sounds stupid, but it still freaked me out.

That is.. assuming she had a window in the barn.. maybe she didn't...its been a while since I've seen the movie

I think I need to see the movie again to catch all the little details that I missed, and then maybe I will have enough knowledge to post some useful messages.

I think Richard Morgan was wearing a shirt only because in the end when Rachel is watching the tape of Samara in the Psyche hospital and he is standing behind her he is wearing a kind of shirt that looks a bit like long johns, you know? I think since it's at a weird angle and with the reflection of the window, it definitely seems like he is shirtless but he's really not

Samara's barn room didn't have a window, or at least not one which afforded her that specific view of the house's window as seen in the video.

Or maybe Samara wished he were watching her, because they show the window again and he's not there. So, maybe she wanted him to love her and watch her signifying he cared??? Maybe I'm crazy, lol

Even though her bedroom in the barn was up not down... down was freedom and up was trapped. So I just blew my own theory. Blast.

And about the horses going crazy...do you think it had to do with Samara having her room in the barn and since she said that the horses kept her up at night, do you think she could've poisened their mind? Just a thought....please e-mail me at SugaRae113@aol.com to tell me if I had missed something. If her mother loved her so much and Samara was what she had been waiting for, then how come she had killed her? That doesn't make sense, and why does Samara plot her revenge on innocent people who just happened to watch her life on a video-tape? Is there going to be a sequel (The remake of The Ring) PLEASE E-MAIL ME WITH YOUR ANSWERS, I'M CONFUSED!!!!!!

Well, it may not have been Anna but rather Richard who despised Samara for making his wife go crazy. It may have been an attempt to seperate her from Anna because they thought it would stop her hallucinations, or it may have been to make her feel alienated or hated (Richard hated her). 2. What about the horses going crazy? Your theory is the general concencus. She couldn't sleep at night because of the horses so she may have )intentionally or unintentionally) used her pyschic powers to drive them insane. 3. Why did her mother kill her? Anna was suffering from mental illness as a cause of Samara. She tried to stop it in many ways (i.e. admitting her, seperating her), but eventually she found out the only way to stop her hallucinations was to kill Samara. Right before throwing her down the well, she mutters "all I ever wanted was you..." This shows that she had remorse and didn't do it out of her free will. Later on the images probably didn't stop or she couldn't deal with the guilt, so she killed herself. 4. Why does Samara kill innocent people? Samara didn't really plot revenge so much, she just wanted to be heard. Wanted people to feel what it was like to be her, trapped alone in a well knowing that you're going to die. She hated the world, and wasn't afraid to show it. 5. Will there be a sequel? Hopefully

They're saying that there will be a sequel, despite refusal to do one shortly after the release of The Ring. A lot of people are theorizing that Samara COULDN'T sleep, and she blamed the horses, although they weren't the real reason.
