The Ruins (2008)



The Good:
The concept was semi-original I guess.
It surprised me once.
It was...
The subtle special effects were alright.
I like the poster a lot.

The Bad:
Really there is so much to go into here: the problems with the believability of the plot and the concept, the acting, the lack of explanation, the length, the dialog, the movie.

Overall: I am sure that in novel form this idea would have come across much better. Don't waste your time on this one.

This movie was just bad. I too was sucked in by the poster - I think I even got up a couple of times while watching it, walked around, came back, and hadn't missed anything at all. Never a good sign.
