Trivia
A Bad Religion sticker is partially visible in Noah's locker in the A/V room; Gore Verbinski (credited as Gore Verbinsky) directed the 1994 music video for "American Jesus" from Bad Religion's 1993 Epitaph Records release "Recipe For Hate". Other stickers visible in the locker include those for Epitaph bands Pennywise, The Refused, Lars Frederiksen And The Bastards, and Descendents.

Goofs
When Rachel makes a copy of the tape, the images on the screen appear in a different sequence than when she originally watched it. The original sequence shows a chair sitting on the floor and then a ladder leaning against the wall. Later in the film, the chair is shown spinning upside down, and the ladder falls away from the wall. When Rachel records it, however, the chair is shown spinning in the air, and then the ladder is leaning steadily against the wall. With the supernatural involved, this is allowable.

When Anna is coming up behind Samara just before putting the trash bag over her head, we see both hands at the same time and there is no trash bag in sight

After breaking into the records room, Noah is looking at Samara's pictures or photo negatives, holding them up to the light. The shot of him shows his fingers covering some of the first picture, but the next shot from his point of view the whole picture is visible and his fingers cannot be seen.

Q
How does the movie end?
A
Rachel and Noah locate the well under Cabin 12. As they're trying to determine how deep it goes, Rachel falls into the well, landing in waist-deep water. While Noah goes to get help, a hand grabs Rachel's arm and she has a vision of Anna Morgan suffocating Samara with a black plastic bag and tossing her into the well. Rachel pulls Samara's dead body from the water and cradles it in her arms as Samara's face decomposes before her eyes. After Rachel and Samara have been pulled from the well and promised by the police that Samara will be given a proper burial, Rachel and Noah go home to Aidan, secure in the knowledge that they have freed Samara, a lonely little girl who, as Rachel puts it, "just wanted to be heard." The next morning, Rachel tells Aidan how they freed Samara from the dark place, but Aidan becomes disturbed. "You weren't supposed to help her," he says. "She never sleeps." Meanwhile, Noah has returned to his studio and is studying some photographs. Suddenly, his television turns on, showing the picture of the well. Samara can be seen slowly crawling out of the well and walking towards Noah. When she reaches the screen, she continues to crawl right out of the TV set. Noah tries to run but falls into a freestanding shelf as Samara advances on him. A bit later, Rachel arrives at Noah's studio, after trying unsuccessfully to reach him on the phone. She finds Noah seated in a chair, dead. Rachel races back home and tosses the tape into the fire while screaming, "Why not me? What did I do that he didn't?" Suddenly, she remembers that she made a copy of the tape and Aidan watched it. In the final scene, Rachel is making a copy of the tape for Aidan, and Aidan asks what will happen to the person that they show it to. The screen then turns to static.
