Revealing mistake: After Rachel tumbles down the well, we see her heavy-duty Eveready Commander Flashlight, 12-volt battery and all, bobbing above the surface of the water like a cork. Which is ridiculous. A real 12-volt Commander Flashlight would sink like a rock, because it weighs about 4 pounds. However, the filmmakers needed to explain how Rachel could see at the bottom of a pitch-black well, so they used a lightweight, floating flashlight prop, supposedly providing a light source for the scene.

Charles Austin Miller

Visible crew/equipment: When Noah and Rachel get back home to Aiden and Noah picks him up you can see a crew member's silhouette in front of a window. (01:36:44)

Suggested correction: This has already been submitted and corrected. The person you are seeing is Rachel's sister Ruthie. Aiden is staying with Ruthie while Rachel and Noah investigate Samara.

Phaneron

Revealing mistake: When Rachel searches online for "Moesko Island," you can see in the address bar of the browser that she is really looking at local files (C:\WIN98\Desktop\search.com\... etc). (00:42:30)

Continuity mistake: When Aidan and Noah are talking in the car, outside of Katie's house, Aidan is coloring on a blue lap tray. When Rachael comes to get him out of the car a couple of minutes later the lap tray is now green. (00:51:25 - 00:53:10)

Dr. Scott: You don't want to hurt anyone.
Samara Morgan: But I do, and I'm sorry. It won't stop. Everyone will suffer.

Trivia: When you see Samara standing in front of the well (before Anna pushes her in) she is singing the same tune as the music in the video.

Question: I know that the images in the tape represent things that happened to or around Samara, but what is the point of the nail going through someone's finger? I know they can't show every second of Samara's life so we might not see a connection, but that part of the tape really grossed me out and so I want to know if someone knows why it was put there, or was it just the gross-out factor?

Chosen answer: Samara broke her finger nail clawing at the walls of the well... I guess that's why it's on the tape also.

Answer: In the movie Rings, the main girl gets her finger nail stabbed by a nail.
