Review of The Ruins (2008) by Olja A — 01 Feb 2012

A very well done horror movie. I passed it up in theaters mainly because it looked like another teenage romp through another area of unkown...blah blah blah, you know how it goes. But I found this to be much better. The acting was good, and I give points to Johnathan Tucker, stepped up quite a bit from his earlier stuff.

The gore is done very well to. Theres is a good reason for each gorey scene and you too almost believe that that is what needs to be done.

And the vines...who would of thought a plant would make a decent horror killer? I wasn't sure at first but turns into a decent enemy.

So, as far as horror goes, really good.
