Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/27/2009 Run time: 90 minutes Rating: Ur Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Really bad movieWhere to start, first of all, you should avoid any horror movies that start off with college coeds on a beach in a foreign country, it's a bad omen. Second, if you plan to make a horror movie centered around a creature you should make the creature more visible. Third, you should not rely on gore ALONE to make people take notice of your film. I almost think they should have named this movie "Hostel 3" because the only thing that would pull your attention towards it is the gore that is shown. ... Read More Rating: - Worst movie ever? Maybe.I don't usually look at horror flicks, but this one slid through because it came from a fairly "literary" novel by Scott Smith. Also, I like Jonathan Tucker. But no amount of good acting, or lit pedigree, can elevate this grossout fest. It was disgusting. I couldn't even finish it. I don't usually give negative reviews, but I think THE RUINS is the worst movie I've ever seen. I would give it negative stars if that were possible. Rating:  - Not As Good As The Brilliant Novel But Still Pretty CoolNot much to add to my title up there. I'm sure you know what The Ruins is about, so see it, it's worth the time. But better yet, read the novel! Rating:  - Based on the fantastic novel by Scott SmithCouples Amy and Jeff, and Stacy and Eric are vacationing in Mexico. By the pool they meet a German named Mathius, who says his brother Heinrich is missing and he's going to go look for him near some ruins. Mathius talks the couples into going with him. Heinrich left a map showing the location of the ruins, far off the tourist area of the Yucatan. The next day the couples and Mathius set out, accompanied by Demitri, a Greek friend who doesn't speak English. After a bus, a taxi, and a ... Read More Rating: - The Ruins, ruined by criticsI have seen so many of these couples in horror movies it isn't funny, and I have to say this is one of the better ones. There may be something missing but it isn't much. Typically I fast forward through a lot of these type movies, but here I watched intently. The story is good. While on vacation they meet a young man looking for his brother and they decide to join him to check out a ruins not found on the tourist agenda. First they are accosted by locals in the jungle and then they only find the gear ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
