"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

Nowadays, I have Netflix and Popcorn and, not only I have since then an endless selection or movies to choose from but, as a result, I have become slightly more picky regarding the movies I watch. Before, I used to watch pretty much anything as long as it was starring one or two actors I was interested in and, as a result, I would sometimes end up watching some really obscure features.

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.

"12.5. Netflix Juonipointeiltaan höntti, mutta ehkä osin siksi aivan perspätevä nykykauhu sen ei-hedelmälliseltä jaksolta. Kovasti yrittää erottua muista ja perustuukin vissiin sen käsikirjoittajan kirjaan, mutta odotetusti eroaa pitkälti vain pinnallisesti siitä harmaasta massasta. Ei kuitenkaan selvästi luule itsestään liikoja ja viihdyttää kivasti. Jokunen riemastuttava gore-efektikin on ja vähemmän yllättäen CGI herättää hihitystä."
