The scariest scene

They way she flickered as she approached Noah had a real effect on me. Almost like a real ghost would do i would imagine. My VCRs tracking went all wonky when testing a Star Wars Box set i was selling and i almost had to stop.

The beginning does a reaaaally good job at setting the mood. The relatively short dream sequence was good as well. One of the most tense moments for me is when Naomi Watts gets knocked into the actual well, which closes once she's at the bottom. There's just no foreseeable escape in that scene, and you know Samara is down there.
I found all of those scarier than the final, climbing out of the tv. -

Whole film was scary as beep to me! The whole mood/setting with that bluish/greenish hue and almost always raining, the eerie music associated with it everything about it was just encapsulated so well! There's a reason I love this film so much.
But above all else, Samara really stuck with me. Before I watched the film, I had seen the trailer over and over and over and never really had a clue that this film involved a ghost girl. I never knew what was on the tape besides "A woman smiling at you, watching you" or whatever she says. Having Samara in there, and the well, the TV etc it was the perfect level of spook. Was afraid to walk around corners in my house for weeks!
(I was 14 at the time it came out too, mind you)

#1. The Introduction. One of the best openings to a horror film ever.
#2. The fast cut to the girl in the closet. shudder It still freaks me out to this day.
#3. Samara's face of hatred at Noah. Just awesome.
#4. The tape itself. Like "watching someone's nightmare."
"I learned that in prison, you like? You white trash piece-a sh!t."
