A group of friends on a Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they embark on a visit to a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the ruins…
We’ve seen it all before right, not in this case. The Ruins takes a tired formula and gives it welcome twist. They don’t get stuck inside the Mexican temple and get picked off one by one by some crazed monster. Here nature is the monster and the locals who don’t want our holidaymakers to leave the camp at the top of the temple.
The acting is more than average for this type of movie. The effects are realistic, the direction by Carter Smith is imaginative and he knows how to build tension. There are enough shocks in the story by Scott B. Smith who also wrote the novel to keep you on the edge.
It a mix of Touristas aka Paradise Lost (UK) The Day of The Triffids and the maze from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire all rolled into an above average horror flick.
All in all a creepy horror tale that will stay with you…
