Summary: I knew better; I read the book!
Comment: Adapted by Scott Smith from his novel of the same title, "The Ruins" is nothing more than a ninety-minute advisory against going "off the beaten track" to visit Mayan ruins. There's a reason why tourists flock to certain areas: THEY ARE POPULAR AND WIDELY KNOWN.
The film's six hapless "heroes/heroines," unfortunately, make the decision to follow one of the group in search for his missing brother. In the jungle, they encounter some not-so-nice natives and a wickedly malevolent and highly developed man-eating plant. Though a good portion of the book does not appear in the filmed version, there are enough elements present that the outcome should not be a surprise to anyone that happened to have read the bestseller.
I'm not sure audience the filmmakers were targeting. The film is not spooky enough for a horror film; it's tense scenes don't qualify it as a thriller; and the interaction between the characters doesn't make it igh human interest.
It just seems to be a film that hopes that someone will like it...to which, I'm not in that number.

Summary: Realistic Gore
Comment: I loved this Movie, mainly because it made my Family cringe with the realism of the fleshy special effects.
The storyline was believable although they should have better explained the reason for the vines existance, Blood from the year's of Human Sacrifice on the Pyramid!!! An all around enjoyable movie but not for the weak stomach or faint hearted. A+++

Summary: Little shop of Horrors 2
Comment: 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?

Summary: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
Comment: 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!
