Why does Sadako kill the people that watch the tape?


Couldn't she just have not?

i know it wouldnt make much of a film if you had a ghost that wasnt bothered who watched her get brained, but yeah.

not a lot of motivation for her tbh.

also do you reckon if 2 people watched it at the same time then a week later were in seperate places she'd get them at the same time? surely if there was enough people in the room at the time they could do her in again, but properly this time.

oh and why did her dad film her being killed? and then allow it to be rented from a hotel.

she kills those who don't show the video around because she wants the truth of the crimes that happened to her to be told and known by everyone, and those killed who cover them up.

yes i reckon "she"'d be in 2 or more places at the same time.
no i don't think her being killed was actually filmed. neither by her dad nor anyone else.
and i don't think enough people in the room could do her in, no matter how many people that would be.

Her dad didn't film it, it was just recorded onto a VHS tape by her powers because those campers happened to be recording a tape near the place where she died.

Re: Why does Sadako kill the people that watch the tape?

Perhaps if you are curious you may wish to seek out the books and 1st and 3rd original movies to understand exactly why and how Sadako kills.

For example: the significance of the intermittent loud static line every few seconds in the legendary tv scene as she crawls toward us in the tv indicating/hinting at Sadako blinking. (ie: she is wanting the entire world to see and pay for her believed 20 or so years in the well and what we/Ryuji are witnessing is indeed her own personal hell and memory from her mind - hence the blinking of her own eyes). A truly brilliant and somewhat unknown concept to some.

Either way...glad to see you watched and enjoyed the original classic :)

You need to see all series. She can not control her power.
I think she is with some evil spirit, you must see shinobi, to see my point.

If you see all series of ringu, you will notice the poll, she is alive for tens of years widhout food, and oxigen; she must be a shinobi.

sorry, for my english.

It's all a conspiracy. didn't you see the scene after the end credits?
