10 Horror Movie Mistakes Directors Refused To Fix Because The Acting Was Too Good

In terms of English language remakes of foreign language horrors, you can't do much better than 2002's The Ring.

This fabled tale of a haunted video tape scared the living conkers off us all and has made everyone fearful of little girls with long black hair ever since.

Plenty of creepy things happen in The Ring - of course they do, it's The Ring - but one of the lowkey creepiest might have happened by happy accident.

Naomi Watts' Rachel goes with her ex-boyfriend to collect her cursed son Aiden from her sister's house. As they are about to leave, for the briefest of brief moments, a shadowy figure can be seen lurking in the doorway behind them.

Is this Rachel's sister? Is it an appiriton caused by the haunted tape? Is it an overly keen pizza delivery driver? We can't say for sure, but in all likelihood, it's a crew member who walked into shot by mistake.

Thankfully, none of the cast seem to notice or care that this person is there, and their shadowy frame only serves to heighten the tension of what is an already buttock-clenching experience.
