How are the characters different culturally?
- In the american version the ideas, thoughts and traditions behind Sadako are not as relevant as Samara
- there is lots of folklore behind Sadako that has been borrowed from the character of Samara (wells, evil spirits who are vengeful)
- Sadako has the ability to kill with a single glance, however in the American version they most likely used the story of Takahashi Sadako and her gift of Nensha
- They explored Japanese culture for this storyline
- Both characters are similar culturally and do what they do, because they are vengeful spirits that have been wronged.
