Review of The Ruins (2008) by Antonia S — 11 Jul 2018

This is a very good psychological horror adapted from a well-received book. The story concerns two American couple who somehow end up perched on a Mayan pyramid in the middle of nowhere, with the indigenous people waiting for them with bows and arrows on the other side.

Also, the pyramid has some evil spirit or something that makes the vines and bushes growing on the pyramid so strange things. The direction is good and the characters are well etched- in fact the first half hour or so is simply buildup.

This is a psychological horror and you will be surprised by it.
