Samara Morgan

Samara Morgan is the primary antagonist of the American The Ring film franchise, serving as the Western adaptation of Koji Suzuki’s Sadako Yamamura. She is depicted as a vengeful spirit and psionic metahuman who, after being murdered by her adoptive mother Anna Morgan and left to die in a well for seven days, created a cursed videotape that kills viewers within a week. Possessing powers such as nensha (burning images into minds), telekinesis, and possession, Samara emerged from electronic screens to torment victims, though her actions are often interpreted as a tragic, twisted plea for maternal attention and recognition of her suffering.
