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 too painful to watch, making those scenes the worst in the entire movie.
Overall, The Ruins is a horrible movie. Unless you're looking into something that would be bad, don't watch The Ruins.
