Samara Morgan is the central antagonist of The Ring, series of American films. She is the vengeful spirit of a young girl, who had a tragic life.
DAVEIGH Chase is known for playing Samara in supernatural blockbuster The Ring. At just 12-years-old, the child star stepped into the terrifying role and has haunted horror fans ever since. Samara, the villain of the movie, is a young girl who has psychic abilities.
But, believe it or not, the terrifying tale of well-dweller Samara is based on a 'true' story which, itself, spawned a ghostly fable in Japan. Okiku was a servant girl who worked in Himeji Castle – which was built in the 14th century and still stands high on a mountain in Western Japan.

The plot device of the American Ring films is a cursed videotape created by Samara Morgan. Anyone who watches the tape is cursed and has a week to copy the tape and show it to someone else, otherwise they will be killed by Samara's ghost. The tape is featured in The Ring, Rings and The Ring Two.
The Ring star Daveigh Chase has been officially charged for possession of a controlled substance. According to The Blast, on November 6, the actress was hit with two misdemeanor charges of possession of a controlled substance without a valid prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia.
"The Ring" is based on the 1998 Japanese horror film "Ring," and the American version's success led a slew of English-language remakes of horrifying Asian films. "Ju-On: The Grudge" inspired its ghostly and jump-scare remake "The Grudge" in 2004.
To make a long story short, Sadako/Samara was a young girl with supernatural gifts who was thrown down a well, and she returns to our physical reality through the cursed tape – when someone watches it, her ghost crawls out of her watery grave and takes her vengeance out on that person, seven days later.
But Samara, as her father tells Rachel, is evil. What she really wants is to kill people, which is why she cursed the tape in the first place. She's not going on a killing spree because her mom killed her and her parents covered up her death — she's wicked because she was born that way.
As Samara grew up, she developed strange supernatural powers known as nensha, which enabled her to unintentionally burn gruesome images into her parents' minds whenever she was around. Having no knowledge over her powers, her powers unintentionally spiraled out of control as Samara grew up.
Samara possesses the power of nensha like Sadako, capable of burning images onto surfaces and into the minds of others. Unlike Sadako, Samara psychically disfigures her victims' faces before they finally die of a heart attack. Samara's history is covered through the American films.
History. Samara was born to a woman named Evelyn in 1970. Her father's identity remains unknown, but it is possible she inherited her powers from him. Samara apparently told her that a demon was born inside her and the only way to be rid of it was to drown her in a pond outside.
As Noah struggles to escape, Samara reveals her hideous face, ultimately causing Noah to have a psychogenic death. Poor, poor Noah. He was so innocent and naive. After Noah's death, Rachel realizes that she was spared by Samara because she made a copy of the tape, which she passed on to Noah.
Biokinesis: In the novels, Sadako combines the smallpox virus she contracted from her rapist and her own DNA to form the Ring Virus, which is then transmitted onto a videotape. Once the tape was viewed, the Ring Virus clogs their arteries and ultimately kills them via a heart attack in 7 days.
Fighting her inside the video-tape world works OK in The Ring 2, so I think that's the only way to stop Samara. If she can't frighten you to death, she can attack you in other ways, most notably by pulling you into her video world, but it's not certain death.

"Rings," the latest reboot of the horror franchise, is fatally short on scares. If you were told you would die seven days after watching a new horror-movie sequel would you still watch it? Probably not. In fact, you won't die after watching "Rings," but you might feel as if your time has been severely wasted.
