10 More Out Of Place Scenes In Horror Movie History

10. Deers, Everywhere - The Ring Two

The Ring was an adaptation of the Japanese film Ringu and paved the way for many Asian horror remakes like The Grudge, Dark Water, and Shutter.

Naturally, the film's success led to a sequel entitled The Ring Two. But despite Naomi Watts returning and Ringu director Hideo Nakata taking the helm, the results aren't the same. And a great example of why the sequel fails is through the deer scene.

In the film, Rachel's son Aidan becomes the target of the supernatural Samara who intends to possess the boy. While on the road, the two encounter a deer who becomes agitated by the supernatural entity inside the child. This leads to an extended sequence where the pair are attacked and eventually cornered by a herd.

Unfortunately, the scene is out of place for multiple reasons. One is Rachel's behavior, as the character makes the situation worse by continually stopping despite her son telling her not to, even after being attacked by hostile animals. Second, the deers are shown in numerous closeups with CGI that have not aged well. Finally, do the filmmakers really think audiences would believe that our main characters would be killed by deer in a Ring movie?
