So, I have read all the comments here and NOBODY has picked up on what I think the method of killing is, . . . so here goes.

At the very beginning of the film, the two girls are sitting and watching TV. One of them starts talking about all of the electrical waves beaming out of the TV and into your head. This is an important clue.

Samara is some kind of supernatural evil being. Literature is full of stories about people making a deal with the devil and getting more than they bargained for. In this case, the Morgan?s wanted a child and they got Samara.

OK, so here is the story line. Samara sends images into people?s minds on the island. The parents put her in the asylum. The X-Rays with images on them are her work. She didn?t create the X-Rays out of thin air, but she re-imprinted her own images on existing film. When the asylum doesn?t work, her parents take her out to the country and throw her down the well.

Fast forward to the night the kids are in the cabin. They put a tape in to record the game and Samara re-imprints her images on to the tape. Think of her as a radio tower of evil with a limited range. When she is down the well, she can only project her evil so far. That?s why she wants out of the well. Now, the tape is made and the kids watch it.

How does she kill them? Remember when she comes out of the TV at Noah?s place. She looks like an image projection. I think she is a manifestation of electrical energy. That is why the girl at the beginning and Noah have the same burnt faces. They are not scarred to death, Samara shocks them. A pulse of electricity would cause disfigurement and stop the heart. This also explains how Samara is able to kill the kids in the car crash. She comes through the car radio.

Anyway, nobody else has mentioned this, so I thought I would add to the mix.
