Hideous Hideo


Hideo Nakata is as enigmatic as his films. We know him as the master of horror that brought us Ringu, The Ring 2, and the original Dark Water, but few know he really aspired to create dramas with a touch of humanity. In the Winter of 2005 international edition of Kateigaho Magazine he explains that: "The main theme in 'The Ring 2' is motherly love." 

As I recall, there's a famous scene nearing the end of the movie where Naomi Watt's character shows her tender affection:
Evil Samara: Mommy!
Rachel Keller: I'm not your fucking mommy!
[Rachel pushes the lid of the well shut, trapping Samara]
Hideo, I think touchy-feely dramas are not your forté.
