One of the most frightening heroes-antagonists in the history of cinema of the XXI century is considered a girl from the "Call". Samara Morgan is a dead child who lives as if in a video cassette, but sometimes goes to our world in order to take lives from his victims.
Birth and being
Samara, who had not yet been born, was hatched by a woman named Evelyn Osorio, who lived in a monastic shelter. During pregnancy, she was tormented by terrible visions that developed into hallucinations. Having given birth to a daughter in 1970, on February 8, Evelyn realized that it was the child who stood behind all her horrors.
Wanting to escape, she decided to drown her own child in the fountain, but she was not allowed to complete the nun's work. So Samara was separated from her mother, sending the first to an orphanage, and the second to a psychiatric clinic. All these events can be found in the second part of the film - “Call 2”.
New family
As we know, the girl from Zvonka bears the name Morgan, and she received it from her adoptive parents. When she was about 7 years old, a family, not very young, but childless and very wealthy, took this "strange" child under her wing. The Morgans owned a huge ranch on the island of Moesco, where a large number of horses lived.
Wife, Anna, was a first-class rider, and her husband Richard loved to care for animals, keep them in good shape. Their life was measured and harmonious, both were incredibly happy, only the joys of motherhood and fatherhood could not be known.
Ruined idyll
And in their life a miracle appears - Samara Morgan, a child whom Anna loved very much. In the first part of the film, from the story of Father Richard, we learn that the girl from The Bell never slept. This feature was most frightening for parents. Gradually, she began to drive her adoptive mother crazy, “introducing” into her mind the same frightening visions that her mother saw. Similar hallucinations tormented horses that, unable to bear such horror, rushed off the cliff. Anna could not cope with all this, and she and her daughter were sent to a clinic for the mentally ill.
Thermography
In the real world, a thermal image can only be obtained thanks to a special technique. But the girl from the movie “Call” owned projection thermography. In other words, it was in her power to “burn” some image into any surface, film or even into the mind of other living beings. That is why both her mothers were tormented by terrible visions, this is what drove all the horses crazy.
Samara’s abilities also appear on x-ray sheets. At the examination, the doctor looks at children's drawings, asking the child where they came from. And she replies: "I just think, and they appear." However, the girl from Zvonka creates the most terrible projection thermography, having departed to another world. This is a cassette of death, looking at it, everyone is doomed to death.
The assassination of Samara
Time passes and Anna Morgan and her daughter are discharged home. Father builds a room for Samara under the roof in the hangar, which can only be reached by a very high stepladder. In this very sweet and even, one might say, fairy-tale “chamber” the child spends the rest of his life. Subsequently, it turns out that in her nursery, on the wall, she burned a Japanese tree, which is one of the characters of the film and is found in the "film of death." But Anna’s nightmares do not stop from this, and she gets rid of her daughter, leaving her at the bottom of the well. In the dark, in water and fear, the girl from Zvonka lives for the last 7 days.
Strange tape
On the "film of death" in short frames recorded various moments from the life of Samara. At the very end, we see a white circle - this is a closing well from the inside. Some moments in this video are dynamic, for example, combing Anna, or the movements of cut off fingers, but there are also static ones - a chair, a window of the Morgan’s house and the girl from Zvonka herself.
The photo is as if static, but due to poor quality it twitches unnaturally, thereby pumping even greater fear into the viewer. After watching the mini-movie, a phone rings and you are informed that you will die in 7 days. At the end of the first part of the film, the main character - Rachel Keller - guessed that a week is given to a man, because Samara herself, once in the well, existed there for such an exact amount of time.
Role and her performer
Of course, Samara Morgan is an incredibly scary person, but you look at her from a different angle if you find out who she really is. The actress who played the girl in The Call is a pretty girl named Davy Chase. She is an American, born in 1990 in Las Vegas. From early childhood, Davy showed artistic abilities, because she played in the musical theater "Utah".
The role of a child from hell is the darkest in her career. Years earlier, we met her in the movie "Donnie Darko", where she played the sister of the protagonist. After came the continuation film "S. Darko ”, where Samantha is already the main character who has to save the world, as her older brother Donny had done before. In addition, the viewer is incredibly familiar with Chase's voice, because it was she who voiced Lilo in the childhood cartoon “Lilo and Stitch”.
