The Ring:



Before you die, you see The Ring.



As we learn at the beginning of the movie, The Ring is one of a number of intense, shadowy images that people see on a videotape that is somehow circulating. Once an individual sees the tape, they get a phone call informing them that they have seven days until they die.



Reporter Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) gets wrapped up in the intrigue after learning her niece died under just such circumstances. She gets a hold of the supposedly lethal tape and begins her investigation into her niece's death, putting both herself and her loved ones in jeopardy.

Ju-On:



A curse born of a grudge held by someone who dies in the grip of powerful angers. It gathers in the places frequented by that person in life, working its spell on those who come into contact with it and thus creating itself anew.



In this case, the place "frequented by the person in life" was a house. A regular looking, fairly modern-day abode. In fact, I've seen houses that look just like it in many Japanese movies and anime. However, a horrible tragedy occurred in the house and now it is a receptacle of evil.

Dark Water:

It is soon revealed that her imaginary friend is a missing child who used to live in the apartment upstairs, and she has apparently returned to take her away from her mother.



The mother has some childhood abandonment issues of her own stemming from her own parents' split. Consequently, she wants nothing more than to be a good mother to her daughter, and to keep them together.

Her daughter is simply in the way. Now she must choose between being mother to either her daughter or her daughter's imaginary friend. Surprisingly, her decision fulfills the needs of both children.
