The Ring

On Rachel's seventh day, she finds the body of Samara and doesn't die so she thinks that the hellish nightmare is over. The next morning Aiden tells her it's not. She rushes to warn Noah, but it is too late. Samara crawls out of his TV and kills him. Upset, she burns the tape, and wonders what she did that Noah didn't to survive. She then realizes that she made a copy, and showed it to Noah. Since Aiden watched it, she has him make a copy so he won't die, and plans to have someone else watch it. On the DVD version of this film, you can see that Rachel puts the tape in the Employees' Picks section of a video rental store. The original script had her send it to the child murderer seen earlier in the film.

Factual error: In the scene where Noah analyses the tape, he says that the 'timecode' seems to be invalid and says that every tape has a track where you can see what device was used to record it, etc. The video technology explanation originates from the original, Ringu, with the plot of The Ring changed to make it more applicable to average Americans. But a VHS tape does not have a special track for timecode. It is possible to lay a timecode onto the tape in either an analogue form via a special audio channel, or as digital information on lines 16 and 18 of the vertical interval. But this 'timecode' is only used for professional video editing. A standard VCR, like the one they were playing the tape on, does not use this, and therefore makes Noah's explanation a minute of utter nonsense.
