THE RUINS (2008)

"Four Americans on vacation don't just disappear! "

Great, creepy, underrated and thrilling are all words I have seen in other reviews of this film. I will not be using any of them. I love horror movies and from the previews this looked great. I was very disappointed and it was not because I had high expectations, because I really did not have any.

Villainous killer vines? That is my main issue with this movie. I found it almost laughable. How can you be scared of vines? I can appreciate some of the special effects when they are pulling out vines from under their skin and cutting off the legs of one of their friends, but to me that was not even worth sitting through this movie for.

I do not know if I would recommend even renting this movie. I know a lot of people really like this movie, so maybe you should rent it out of curiosity to see if you like it.

I actually liked this film better than I thought I would. I knew about the "killer vines" before seeing it so maybe that helped lol. Great review nonetheless.

Ouch. This is a favorite of mine. I can see a few people having problems with the vines, but I personally felt that was a cool twist on the rather dull other horror films.

good review though.
