The Ruins Specifications
Whether you consider plants a source of terror or not will ultimately determine how you feel about the grisly horror movie The Ruins, but director Carter Smith and his cast and crew certainly give their all in bringing the chills of Scott Smith's novel to the big screen. Jena Malone (Saved) and Shawn Ashmore (the X-Men franchise) are the name actors in a pair of American couples down Mexico way who are ambushed by hostile Mayans and forced to the top of an ancient temple, where a monstrous and diabolically clever entity awaits them. Director Smith and his talented crew (which includes cinematographer Darius Khondji of Se7en fame and composer Graeme Revell) create a visually impressive spookshow but can't quite deliver genuine suspense (gore, however, is handled capably), and Scott Smith's script boils away much of the character development and mounting terror in his book, which also strands the likeable cast. The movie's monster, so alarming and imaginative in the original novel, is likely to provoke as many laughs as screams from filmgoers, especially when it reveals its unique talent. -- Paul Gaita

Fiendish Foliage Finishes Foolish Foursome!... - Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein - under the rubbleFour beautiful young American tourists (there are other kinds?) Venturing deep into the Mexican jungle to visit the ruins. On arrival, the horror begins. OK, so we have an ancient Mayan pyramid, covered with weed-killer and surrounded by locals scary. What could have been a story of suspense film turns into a survival rather than fun. There are two fundamental flaws: 1 - The 'action' is taken in drops, like watching the wounds fester. 2 - Flowers, intelligent or not onlyare not all that fear! While there were some thrilling moments, even a little 'meatball surgery, most of the movie just drags. If you want real spooky plant life, go re-watch The Day of the Triffids ...
Ok better than ok pretty good. - Michael Goff - michigan United StatesNot bad, has some fresh ideas, it's worth watching, I like the cool twilight zonesque feel of the film.
Buying Made Easy - LisaP - This was one of the easiest purchases I've made a bit '.
