natalieApr 8, 202165 This is one gnarly genre exercise, which morphs from a 'dumb American tourists' survival thriller to a 'killer plant' splatter fest. Gorgeously shot by DP Darius Khondji, The Ruins is lean and basically trimmed of anything extraneous, and it features a likeable…

More than anything, this uncompromisingly grim horror film reminds me of the best segment in the anthology CREEPSHOW 2, entitled "The Raft," in which a group of friends taking a swim in a secluded lake find themselves trapped on a raft, surrounded, and preyed upon by an…

- Brook is "meh" onThe Ruins
It was a decent movie, not my favorite type of horror. I feel like they could’ve expanded more scenes inside of the ruins. I also really disliked all the characters, they were incredibly dumb and it physically pained me.
ofi dislikedThe Ruinsim currently watching it and its so bad omfg blonde girl is kinda cunty (se calhar porque parece a ricky d h2o)
MovieDaddy likedThe RuinsThis is a top five most underrated horror. The log line makes it sound so lame and unworthy, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t a solid flick that any horror hound will appreciate, maybe even the average movie goer too!
- Erika Quijano likedThe Ruins
This movie freaked me out when I was little. Now older and having watched a couple more times it still makes me uncomfortable
delal likedThe RuinsGeisteskranke Szenen manchmal. Mir hat ein bisschen Backstory gefehlt zu den Charakteren & zu den Ruinen selbst. Man hätte mehr rausholen können, aber das Konzept ist schon krass. Hab es schonmal geschaut, wo ich viel zu jung dafür war. Jetzt weiß ich warum es mich so verstörte
Dark Sun likedThe RuinsThe movie is really underrated. I get it has some flaws; everybody other than Jeff is really irrational. But nonetheless, I really liked it. The concept of the “monster” is super unique and unlike anything I’ve seen before. There was also some really well done body horror.
- Amy Pike lovedThe Ruins
Perfect 2000s horror🥺 I do wish they could've explored the ruins a bit more but I suppose the horror comes from the unknown! A fave I always come back to. (BTW this movie has 2 diff endings! Search up on yt) each one completely changes the tone of the movie so it depends!
nurii is "meh" onThe RuinsUnsettling but way too weird for my liking. I was missing backstory to know more about the ruins curse and characters were plain, basic, even frustrating. It's not that bad, but it's not the kind of horror movies I'm into. I'm not sure if I would recommend it.
alexis butler presely dislikedThe RuinsThis film was so fuxking bad wasted 2 hours watching it the end bit w Stacy and the knife was just like no thanks. And it wasn’t even scary just stupid??? Like the concept could’ve been so good but like it just wasn’t wouldn’t watch again

Metacritic
The Ruins is, with one major caveat, about as good an adaptation of Scott Smith's bestselling novel as Hollywood was ever going to make.
Rene Rodriguez

Ultimately less dependent on suspense or even scares than on squirm-inducing grossouts, this tale of Yank hardbodies vs. carnivorous creepers should flower briefly in hardtops, then spread like an invasive weed in ancillary.
