MCT:November 20, 2008This is not the movie I thought it was going to be. I knew it was going to be scary, but this was quite gruesome!

MCT:November 19, 2008Watchably brief plant horror which reflects well on its literary roots (no pun intended). Played admirably straight, it creates a tense creepy atmosphere.

I enjoyed this,it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination,but as a horror movie,it was quite effective. I found myself itching all over once it had finished. It's very gory in places,and you have to leave your brain at the front door. Don't start analyzing it,trying to make sense of it all,it will get you nowhere fast and you will end up with a headache. Just think of it as a dumb horror B movie,and enjoy watching the stupid kids die.

MCT:November 14, 2008Before seeing this film, I thought maybe some kind of creature or something was down in "The Ruins", but I was wrong.
I still enjoyed the story line. The film did have some good gorey moments in it for the horror lovers out there. -

A good mix of psychological thriller and old-school style monster movie chiller.
Suspensful, gory and creepy! While "The Ruins" isn't the best horror flick I've seen recently, it is a really decent one and does deliver some good unexpected scares that gets under your skin and makes it crawl.
"The Ruins" will certainly hold your attention for its 1 1/2 hour runtime. A solid shocking chiller with good effects and an interesting premise.
And I'll never feel the same way about a ringing cellphone again.

**Possible Spoilers if you havent seen it yet**
To anyone wondering about the "sacrifice": There was no sacrifice. The tourists thought at one point they were being sacrificed, but as they explained later, the villagers were only forced them to stay there and die becuase they figured once they touched the plants, they were "contaminated" and didn't want it to spread. They want to keep it contained. That's why they mentioned how they salted the earth so the plants couldn't grow out farther, and even animals and birds learned not to go there. The villagers were not evil villains, they were simply protecting themselves and the rest of the jungle.
p.s. the only problem I have is with the ending - very quick and anti-climacticposted 214 days ago -
Anyone who thinks this was boring isn't looking for a scary movie, they just want gore. It's nice to see a horror flick that doesn't rely on cheap scares or over-the-top gore and kills. The Ruins instead opts for a much more effective slowly growing sense of fear and dread. I'll take something like this over the entire Saw and Hostel series any day.
And ya gotta give it credit for not watering down for a PG13 like so many lame horror flicks these days.posted 214 days ago -

The film delivers several creepy & gory moments that are very effective besides some great performances by the cast.What i didn't get was a good explanation related to the sacrifice & a ending that was totally a disappointment but other that,it was a enjoyable & gruesome horror film.
