After people watch the tape, why do their faces look blurred in photos?
Some have conjectured that the faces appear distorted as if Samara were viewing them through the water of the well. Others posit that this phenomenon is the result of electromagnetic interference caused by watching the videotape (certainly a valid interpretation given Samara’s apparent ability to “transmit” herself as a television signal). Still another theory states that this is nothing more than a holdover from the original Ring, where the facial distortion is an indicator of having been “marked” by the video curse.
