I also wanted to know what the hell was up with that place. Were those mutant plants? Possessed plants or what?...

In reading through this thread, I did like 'The Ruins.'

'The Strangers' was godawful, other than Liv Tyler tripping on her face in the yard.

'The Descent' truly is the best horror film in the past ten years.

This movie scared the shit out of me. I moved all my plants out by my back door because I didn't want them killin' me. The next morning I saw that dumb bitch Shawanda's bigass dog pissin' all over them! I hate that fuckin' dog! She needs to put that thing on a damn leash!

I just saw this on Cinemax and I pooped myself a little. It really had some moments, especially with those vines wriggling around under the skin of the sexy blonde. I wish they would've expanded a bit on what happens to the world once the other girl escapes. Does the world get infected? Are we all doomed to die by creeping vines that scream?

The best script that has never been used is Alien 3 when they did not come up with stupid prison colony idea and focus on politic and economic aspect of corporation of company attempting to exploit aliens. Only the android and sole survivor (not Ripley or the girl) attempt to stop them on their own.

In the book they weren't, but saying that was the perception and Stacy got upset. And that she would have to die because that's what happens in movies- and Jeff would save Amy, and Eric would be the one who goes first because that's what happens in...

The guy for our school paper who went to an advanced screening gave it an F and said it was so comically bad people were laughing at it in the theatre.

By changing the ending, they've made it into exactly what the characters were making fun of in the book and if it were turned into a movie. (Amy, heroine; Stacy, badgirl; Eric, comic relief, Jeff the hero) -ugh, I liked the book much better. (but then again, I can't stand Jenna Mallone)

I liked it. It was a good way to spend an afternoon.It was genuinly creepy and disturbing ,and the acting wasn't half bad I haven't The Descent. Is it better?

good for a horror movie.

like a dumbed down version of the descent (which i consider one of the best horror movies of at least the past 10 years)

i kept wondering what jena malone was doing in a movie like this though.

And Katja, they've changed several things from the novel to the film, so it won't be entirely ruined for you.

That is exactly what will bother me if I finish the book first - how it's been changed.

I might watch it this weekend, and then I can finish the book.

The ending is apparently different in the movie. I went and saw it last night. Not too bad.

WTF is this movie about, the trailer was creepy:

A group of friends whose leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they, along with a fellow tourist embark on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the ruins.
