DVD Reviews of The Ruins (Unrated Edition) [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Little shop of Horrors 2
Summary: 2 Stars

Man, I had no idea they were going to make a sequel of "little shop of horrors". It only took them twenty years to cook this up. That is too quick in my opinion. These things take time. If only Rick Moranis wasn't shooting "brother bear 2" when they were creating this gem, it would have been perfect. "Ghostbusters 2"? "brother bear 2"? come on Moranis, don't forget where you came from. Please start filming "My Blue Heaven 2". Please, please.

Seriously, killer plants?

DVD Review: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
Summary: 1 Stars

I usually don't have the time or energy to write a review...but in this case, it is necessary. It takes a lot for me to HATE a movie. There almost always something that makes it ok...not in this movie. I want my hour and a half back. Trust me, everyone who gave it one star nailed it! Only one other movie ticked me off this bad: Hope Floats. The book is probably good. I enjoy books with this type of plot... the movie however tanks. It ruined my night. (pun intended)Avoid!

DVD Review: Never really got under my skin ...
Summary: 2 Stars

Well it was at least a cool idea...ancient Mayan ruins are a great pretext/setting for a movie, and the story had potential. Unfortunately the decent build-up thruout the movie fizzled out once you find the vegetation is pretty much the gist of the horror. I wonder who decided to give the flower buds the ability to mimic speech? That was a sorta neato thing, but the fact that they only cried out certain phrases and the vines only moved at certain 'high drama' parts of the movie, made the whole fiasco feel like something a juvenile would have scripted! The actors made the whole thing mildly watcheable in spite of the goofiness, but there's no denying so much more could have been done within the fascinating lore of the Mayan world

DVD Review: YES, this movie is in RUINS.
Summary: 1 Stars

I've not read the book this film was based on. Despite that, I still find this movie delivers no suspense nor thrilling. There are a couple of scary scenes. For example, it's the scene where one of the girls cut off the flesh from her leg to get rid of the plants that had eaten it way into her body. The acting is below par. I do not feel sympathetic for the characters. The worse thing is the special effects. The devilish plants look fake.

It's a typical bad B movie. I am glad my friend rented it for us.

Description of The Ruins (Unrated Edition) [Blu-ray]

Whether you consider plants a source of terror or not will ultimately determine how you feel about the grisly horror movie The Ruins, but director Carter Smith and his cast and crew certainly give their all in bringing the chills of Scott Smith's novel to the big screen. Jena Malone (Saved) and Shawn Ashmore (the X-Men franchise) are the name actors in a pair of American couples down Mexico way who are ambushed by hostile Mayans and forced to the top of an ancient temple, where a monstrous and diabolically clever entity awaits them. Director Smith and his talented crew (which includes cinematographer Darius Khondji of Se7en fame and composer Graeme Revell) create a visually impressive spookshow but can't quite deliver genuine suspense (gore, however, is handled capably), and Scott Smith's script boils away much of the character development and mounting terror in his book, which also strands the likeable cast. The movie's monster, so alarming and imaginative in the original novel, is likely to provoke as many laughs as screams from filmgoers, especially when it reveals its unique talent. -- Paul Gaita
