This Video Provides 24 Reasons Why ‘The Ring’ and ‘It Follows’ Are the Same Movie
Before you die… you have sex?
Earlier this week we talked about the similarities between Peter Medak’s The Changeling and The Ring, the former of which seems to have at least somewhat inspired the latter. Of course, it’s not uncommon for one movie to share a few things in common with another, but did you ever draw any parallels between The Ring and It Follows? One fan believes they’re mostly the same movie.
YouTube user Couch Tomato, who devotes most of his time to comparing two seemingly unrelated films, just released a brand new video titled “24 Reasons The Ring and It Follows Are The Same Movie,” and with Rings hitting theaters this weekend, we thought you might find it amusing. Like in The Ring, the curse in It Follows can be passed from person to person, and in both films, that curse presents itself as a creepy figure advancing towards the “infected” person. But that’s only scratching the surface of this theory, conveyed by comparing specific moments in each movie.
Some of it is admittedly silly, but it’s a fun watch nonetheless!
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
