Although it has a good premise - more original than another lame remake, it's not enough to make it stand out. Everything falls short is almost every aspect, characters, actions, story - nothing ever rises above mediocrity. |

The Ruins was one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen.
The story was one of the worst I've seen. Let's take a set of ruins, which were hidden by a covered up trail, where some people were quarantined because they touched some vines on the rocks. Then, those vines started to attack at kill them, after mocking the sounds they would make, like a ringing cell phone and yelling. I don't think that any plant could to that realistically, and there was no way they would stay on those ruins, even if people threatened to kill them.
The characters were not very realistic at all. The actors were bland, making the characters on screen seem surreal. Everything about the acting, characters, and their reactions to the problem almost seemed fake and forced as I watched. Some scenes were almost... |

Jena Malone couldn't save this movie. |

Quite frankly, I don't understand how anyone could pay to see this movie. Despite its relatively short run time, it felt like an eternity watching this movie. I must state that I haven't read the book, but I don't see how this flick could possibly do it justice. The dialog was terrifyingly awful (just about the only thing about this movie that can be described as terrifying). The acting was sub par, which is surprising because Jena Malone is pretty decent. The only redeeming quality of this movie was the interesting visual effects. The monster flowers, or whatever they are called, were hilarious, but other than that, I wouldn't even wait for it to be shown on cable TV.

Action: 1 / 3. Comedy: 1 / 2, Good vs Evil: 0 / 1, Love/Sex: 0.5 / 1, Special Effects: 0 /1, Plot: 0 / 1, Music: 0 / 1. Overall 2.5 / 10 or 25%, which gets this 1 / 4 stars per my rating formula.
This really is a below average outting with nothing truly enjoyable to mention. |
