   also I never understood that the tape exists supposedly because she has ESP and projected her rage onto audiovisual film, so that even after they "save" her, the tape is still an unchanged recording of her vengeful spirit. such a good blend of traditional folk panics with modern technology

     this is another thing that the US version fucked up by making Samara's family some creepy Addams family that comes pre-packaged as spooky and old-timey/cursed

     I also read the plot of Ringu and it actually made sense, I only ever saw the US version and so much shit in that film just made no sense to me at the time, now it's finally clicked for me the horror of needing to get someone else to watch the tape to be spared yourself. in the US film they just needed to make a duplicate of the tape, which is not very dramatic

     in Ringu at the end she is frantically driving to her father's house to basically murder him by making him watch the tape so she can spare her son from Sadako

     This scene is awesome. I don't know if it's intentional but the blood streak down Kayako's cheek makes it very briefly look like she is grinning a hideous demonic smile when her face comes into view, but its only a split second and then you realize she looks more worried and intrigued. absolutely fucked me up on first viewing
