Review of The Ruins (2008) by Paulr — 17 Jul 2008
Aaaah! A breath of fresh air for once from the horror coal mines. People keep on saying that horror is dead, that it died back in the late 80's and has been slowly trying to pop it's head up for air ever since.
The Ruins looks like the kind of snuff horror film that you would have seen back in the late 70's, only this film adds a sublte supernatural twist. It is horror that bases its self in the suffering of a group of people slowly withering away while faceing varialble threats.
This film is not a slasher film, but a film of intense despair that leaves you glued to the screen. It pulls no punches, it shows you the violence as if you where watching a autopsy video, detailed and precise.
Not for the faint of heart.
