Review of The Ruins (1984) by Stephen M — 30 Nov 2009
(before we get to the review...).
YEAH! MAX IS IN THIS! FROM ACROSS THE UNIVERSE! AND HE DOES AWESOME! WOOO!!!
Sorry. Anyway, once they enter the jungle the movie gets pretty good. The effects aren't great, but they don't really ned to be, so that's fine. All actors do a great and believable job, behaving exactly how one would expect them to in that situation. It really makes me wanna read the book it's based on, and was a great hour and a half that didn't turn out like I was expecting at all.
Edit: Having now read the book, I can say that the movie is as good as it ever was, but is not quite as creepy as the book. It's still good, though. (edit date: 11/30/9).
