THANK YOU!!! Yes, I agree that the image of the Mom "fallin" was out of place. Think about this. Samara's tape has images she sees. She saw the "burning tree" at the well/future cabin site right before she dies, right?  How then was she able to burn the image of the tree into the barn attic wall? I think she was thrown into the well by her mom who was crazy due to the miscarriages. I think Samara was not "born evil", but was made evil. She was made to feel responsible for her mother's condition. She was taken to the shrink and blamed. She was "punished" by being made to stay in the attic. All this would mess up a kid. Finally, the Mom kills her. Only, her ghost, bent on revenge, comes out of the well. Here is why I think this. In the tape, we see the Mom at the mirror doing her hair (happy because her "evil" daughter is gone) then she turns. That mirror reflects the entryway into the house. Maybe the Mom turns and then sees what we see in the next frame; Samara standing there in the entryway! We see her in the reflection (as she would see herself...as a reflection). The Mom then jumps of the cliff (guilt? Terror?).



Questions:
1.Why when Noah is getting the Mom's (Anna Morgan's) file does he find the daughters "drawings" and record number for the tape??? Wouldn't Samara have her own file?

2.If she is evil and can burn images, put thoughts in people's heads etc, why couldn't she get out of the attic? She can come through a TV but can't "fly"?  LOL!
