 ... fact, the start is very reminiscent of 'The Beach'. Well I have to say this was better than I expected. The reason is that it's actually quite clever and different. The biggest difference for me was the way a lot of the horror took place in day-time, which was a nice change from the obsession with night we normally see. The horror angle is not made clear for a long time, which keeps it interesting too. The film is gory, with some bone shatteringly nasty its to keep Saw fans happy, and I liked that bit.

The ruins is a horror film that was released in 2008, directed by Carter Smith and starring Jonathan Tucker, Shawn Ashmore, Jena Malone, Laura Ramsey and Joe Anderson. The book was originally based on a Novel that was written by Scott Smith. I had the pleasure of watching this film, last week, and I was one of mixed feelings. At times this film was brilliant, a fresh new plot, which didn't have any ghosts, or villains, but at times it was hard to pick up the film, in the sense that there were moments were the film slowed down. A great horror film should be one that has a constant flow to it, one that constantly keeps you on the edge of your ...  Read the complete review

The horror genre has taken its usual slump into the gutter recently with such films as Saw being able to churn out five films of decreasing quality in quick succession. But every so once in a while something decent comes along and promptly gets ignored. The Ruins is such a film. Based on a book by Scott B Smith (A Simple Plan), the story sees four young adults on a lazy vacation in Mexico. Looking for a last fling of adventure, they take up the offer or a trip to an undiscovered ruin in the jungle. But naturally there is more than just old architecture in the Ruins and a Mayan tribe seems hell-bent on keeping our travellers from leaving the ruins. They soon ...  Read the complete review
