Samara Morgan, that creepy girl coming from your TV

Samara Morgan is the main antagonist of The Ring directed by Gore Verbinsky in 2002, an american remake of the japanese Ring directed by Hideo Nakata in 1998. Introducing the japanese ghost monster to the American audience, she joined the ranks of famous monsters in western cinema among Dracula, Frankenstein, the mummy...

Like Sadako, Samara is a vengeful spirit trapped in a well, wreaking havoc on the livings by spreading a cursed videotape that kills its victims if viewing it.

While the film does not bring the same message as Hideo's, the themes explored in it remains quite the same as other ghost films : the evil force of an unstoppable and relentless angered spirit, curses, fear of the unknown, the unusual, death...
 The character of Samara is not just about a creepy ghost coming from a TV screen, it is about an isolated child deprived of love and killed because of her unusualness. In fact, she was already considered dangerous while she was still a child.
