The Ruins

The end ruined this entire movie

Damnit!! I really wanted to love this film and almost did. Sure it didn't have the greatest actors, the plot was a bit shallow and Carter Smith hasn't really directed a notable film. Still -- I fell for the previews and the original story that looked mysterious.

Throughout the movie I was surprised at the gore but disappointed at the lack of genuine scares. I was still enjoying the movie, that is until the very end.

What the F$#K! It never reached a climax, it just ended. Nothing.... It was going just fine and then it was like a bad episode of Law and Order where it just stops before justice has been served. It desperately needed a climax and I can think of 100 ways to end this film that doesn't involve making the movie into a piece of crap.

So for all the directors out there looking for an ending, do not do what "The Ruins" and "No country for old men" did.
