"The Ruins" is neither a 1 nor a 10. A masterpiece it is not, but it's really not all that bad.

The thing that irks some people is that they want to know why stuff happens. In all honesty, it doesn't really matter here. Whether the characters know why or not, it won't do them any good in this case.

Personally, I sort of enjoy not knowing why. Much like "Cloverfield", ... read more

Pode dizer o que quiser, mas The Ruins, pra mim, é um dos melhores filmes modernos de terror.
O filme consegue melhorar coisas em relação ao livro, o que é muito raro desde que as adaptações surgiram no cinema. Mas ok, eu aceito dizer que não é um filme que você irá gostar, até porque, ou você gosta muito, ou não gosta. Coisa normal de acontecer com bons filmes.

As usual, I didn't know much about this movie before watching it and honestly, I think it is the best way to watch this flick. It starts with the usual WASP kids on holiday and after a rather slow built up, you get the scary stuff with [spoiler]those plants[/spoiler]. Actually, when you think about it, the whole thing was really ridiculous but still, they actually pulled it off and I thought it wa... read more

" For some reason I originally gave this movie a 6/10 rating. I don't know what the hell I was thinking-- this movie is definitely an 8/10 for me. So glad I rewatched it! The Ruins might be my favorite Pretty People/Exotic Locations/Shit Goes Horribly Wrong- subgenre horror movie ever made. If you didn't realize that those things define an established sub-genre of contemporary horror movies, well... then you obviously haven't watched as much trash as I have. But yes, The Ruins is one of the be"

“I quite liked, but could have been better, after all worth watching. the interpretation of the characters was cool and the film got past that feeling of despair and imminent death, for lovers of gory films will be a full plate.” read more

" Unusual depth and character development characterize this well-made creature feature that ends up so focused on character interaction that it neglects thrills and a good deal of common sense. That said, The Ruins contains one of the gore highlights of the year in a grisly case of campsite surgery. Shudder."
