![]() As an adaptation to the Scott Smith novel of the same name, I can't judge it. ![]() It's nothing that remarkable but was born out of an original idea and is made pretty well on it's low budget. ![]() As a regular viewer of horror, I found that to be the triumph. The acting is noticeably strong, although it's not explored further with character development it's easy to forgive because of the sheer skill at hand and how effectively filmed and brutally straight-faced it manages to unfold without at any point becoming laughable. But watching this little film my faith in creature features was instantly resurrected. When I look at a lot of the horror films of recent years which take groups of beautiful teenagers into dangerous environments I see no signs of real quality. ![]() While a cheesy poster and an unimaginative title might lead you to believe that The Ruins is probably nothing more than a very generic nature horror flick the payoff is actually an increasingly suspenseful, and blood soaked squirmer. ![]()
