The Ruins


The Ruins (2008)

Is a bad movie with great special effects. We get to follow friends who's on a holiday in Mexico. When they meet a German man they decide to follow him to a Mayan ruin. But when they get there things start to happen, the plant who souround the temple plant it's seeds in the human body, or just eat it depends on it's mood.
As you might have understood by what I just told you it's is a very bad horror movie... that is if you don't actually like B horror movies with a quite big budget.

The best parts in the movie was the beginning and the ending. The movie starts with a woman sitting in a dark room crying for help. But she gets snapped away by something in the dark.
In the ending they play Yeah Yeah Yeahs song Phenomenon (Me like)
They also had a very grosse amputation scene in the movie, it actually gave me chills. And to see Laura Ramsey slice her self up to get the plants out of her wasen't a pretty sight either.
The acting was great and very beliable for a movie who should not even be alowed to be mentioned.
I like both Jena Malone who played Amy in the movie and Laura Ramsey who played Stacy. They have both been in some of my favorite movies and they are just superb actresses.
I'll have to give this movie a 4/10... and 3 points of them are for the effects, Jena and Laura.

I just saw the movie and I agree, the best part is the ending with Yeah Yeah Yeah's song ;) The lead actors put up a believable acting, which IMO saved the lousy story of the movie
