'The Ring' is the 2002 blockbuster horror film directed by Gore Verbiniski. The film is based on cursed videotape that promises death (via telephone- very efficient) to the viewer within seven days of watching it. This film is of great inspiration to us via Samara’s (the evil character) image and the way in which her scenes are cut. There is a lot of 'jumping' forward in the film when Samara is on screen, making her appear to get closer within the blink of an eye, causing great horror and fright. Her appearance is part heroin chic, part mental home escapee, fallen down a damp well with yellow fingernails that have a habit of falling off constantly. Fab. We especially like when she climbs out of various objects such as televisions and wells- the way in which she does so is painful and quite horrific. The climbing/crawling scenes are cut and sped up, creating a jaunty, quick sequence. It appears that the bones in her arms are twisted and she crawls along the floor in such an animalistic way. It really accentuates the inhumane qualities about her, she is unearthly and unnatural. We want to incorporate her disturbing movement into our film and will definitely be imitating the editing of her scenes when she is cut and jilted ahead. Here are some examples:
The movement is cut and 'jumped', making her appear closer to the screen quicker
Samara climbing out of the well
Her movement is cut and quickened, making her appear more deranged and inhumane
