The Ring question

[Dr.Gonzo]

Just seen this over here in England (the remake, not the origional) and theres a bit that i got curious about.

when Rachael visits that girl who's went crazy in the asylum, the girl tells her she'll be visited by Samara in 4 days. I just wondered how she knew that. did i miss a bit? i might've dropped off to sleep or something but i cant remember rachael even mentioning she'd seen the tape.

Here's the answer from ringworld.

Q: In the mental hospital, why did Becca walk with that curtain on wheels trundling in front of her?

A: This scene is taken directly from Ring 2. In a flashback, we learn that Masami (Becca in the remake) had been in the bathroom, but returned just in time to see Sadako emerge from the television and claim Tomoko (Katie in the remake) as her victim. This incident was so psychologically crushing that not only was she institutionalized, from that time on she was deathly afraid to go near a television set. Thus, whenever she would leave her room in the hospital, the staff would always wheel a screen in front of her to block out the TV.



Q: How did Becca know that Rachel had four days left?

A: Again, if we look to Ring 2 we see that even if you don't watch the videotape, being exposed to Sadako's energies is enough to "infect" you in some fashion. In Masami's case, simply viewing Sadako caused a portion of Sadako's energies to "break off" and lodge itself inside her mind (as evidenced in the scenes showing Dr. Kawajiri's experiments). Becca appears to have been similarly affected. In the remake, there is an audible rumble when Rachel touches Becca's hand. Perhaps it is in this moment that Becca is somehow able to key into the energies buried inside Rachel, and to divine that she had four days left.
