Farah R @Farah Apr 14 Not bad but not good either, The Ruins is perfectly mediocre in every way from plot and acting to effects and scares. It’s worth a one time watch for genre fans. See more Lee T @Nice-and-Swarm Feb 25 My review may be biased because I watched this film immediately after finishing the book. That being said, I wasn't a big fan of the book either, yet I found this to be worse than the source material. The pacing is far too quick, the vines far less expanded upon and, therefore, far less scary, the characters were incredibly one-dimensional, and by giving Stacy and Amy more of the spotlight, Eric not only became more of a background prop than he was in the book, but the female leads went from just milling about and having no agency but still having some character, to "I'm going to be completely hysterical and irrational the whole time". Jeff and Eric were just there, watching things happening around them. The ending was crap; great job you guys, can't wait for this carnivorous vine to take over the planet! And the final, most DETRIMENTAL sin in my opinion: I will never forgive this film for giving Mathias the Pablo treatment. He was the only one I liked. Justice for Mathias.

Embora exista uma burrice dos personagens, ele é totalmente justificável e que causa todo o enredo do filme. Mas depois as atitudes deles são bem plausíveis e não beiram ao besteirol. Os efeitos visuais são bons até para hoje, e bons momentos de tensão. O final sugere uma continuação que não veio infelizmente.

I enjoy this film because most of the characters actually act realistic to the situation that they are put in and they do not come out and act like cartoonish over the top characters from other horror movies that I have seen in the past.
