What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Koji Suzuki's novel "Ringu" (1991).
- Jennifer Connelly, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kate Beckinsale were considered for the role of Rachel, but Naomi Watts ultimately landed it.
- Some of the techniques used to build suspense were borrowed from the films of Alfred Hitchcock.
- The DVD release sold two million copies in the US alone within the first 24 hours of sales.
- As additions and bonuses on the DVD edition, you can view footage witnessed by the main characters of the film. When you select this option, control of the menu is lost, and it is impossible to pause, rewind, or return to the main menu. The only way to stop the viewing is to turn off the television. Control is restored only after the video clip finishes, followed by the sound of a phone ringing twice.
- During the first week of its American release, every moviegoer could find a tape with a recording of a mysterious video sequence on their seat upon entering the theater.
- On the shelf where Rachel discovers the ill-fated video cassette, there are also video recordings of the films "Shattered" (1991), "Scent of a Woman" (1992), "Steel Magnolias" (1989), "Sodom and Gomorrah" (1962), "Family Plot" (1976), "Spontaneous Combustion" (1990), "Man with a Snowshoe" (1982), and "School Ties" (1992).
- For promotional purposes, representatives of DreamWorks Studios distributed cassettes with the "killer tape" throughout Los Angeles and created several themed websites.
- The tree with red leaves featured in the film (a Japanese maple) was artificial and repeatedly fell over during filming due to strong winds. The fruit of the Japanese maple is called a samara.
- Tom Duffield, the film's production designer, said he drew inspiration from the drawings and paintings of Andrew Wyeth.
- Throughout the film, Rachel uses the same red Sensa brand marker.
- A black and red sticker of the band Bad Religion, pasted inside Noah’s closet, is a reference to the fact that in 1994, film director Gore Verbinski shot the music video “American Jesus” for the band.
- The role of the lighthouse on Moesko Island was played by a real, functioning lighthouse in Newport, Oregon, built in 1873.
- The children's singing heard on the cursed videotape is taken from the British film “The Innocents” (1961).
- Chris Cooper was originally supposed to play a small role as a child killer. Cooper can only be seen in a photograph in a newspaper at the end of the film.
- When Noah and Rachel return to the campsite at the end of the film, a new sign reading “Closed until further notice” is visible under the road sign “Shelter Mountain Inn.” The sign remained from a scene that was cut from the film, in which the campsite manager dies after watching the tape, and the police close the campsite.
- The film is based on the novel 'Ringu' (1991) by Koji Suzuki.
