Edmund J @EJay_89 3 days ago Absolutely horrible movie with an atrocious ending. See more Justin W @RT37619642 4 days ago I don't get why people don't like this movie. If you are a horror fan, this movie is actually horrific and one of the few actually scary films of the 2000s. This is a Lovecraftian dark film that has no happy ending. It is filled with unrelenting darkness and is very unforgiving. Don't expect a feel good movie, but it is definitely a good watch! See more Brandon L @stoopih 5 days ago I hate movies where the entire plot is derived from really idiotic choices. It's just fustrating and bad writing ability where everything stems off of bs sequences of events and conveniently dumb characters. If anything this represents disrespectful american tourists pretty well. Can't recommend, not scary, not much of a plot, not entertaining, bad dialogue writing, whole movie can be summed up as evil carnivorous vines and terrible makeshift surgeries for "survival". Feels like I just wasted my time watching bloody bodies and dismemberment for the past hour. Movie could've wrapped up in the first thirty minutes if they didn't keep stalling and padding for time. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 23, 2026 This was not a great movie! See more hardy C @hardy00 Sep 22, 2026 "The Ruins" must be describing the script, acting and directing. Look, I get it; horror movies typically have young nubile people doing dumb things and making it soooo easy for monsters and villains to do bad things to them. But the trick is to make it ENTERTAINING! Someone evidently did not get that memo. See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Sep 9, 2026 No, this was not a good movie. I just watched it because it was 18+ from CSM. The problem was that it was too short. And the complete lack of action and scares is what made it bad. In the beginning they spent the time doing nothing, and when the "action" finally kicked in, it was dull. We also know NOTHING about this monster, where it comes from, and who the hell those Mayans were. Even if if it was ambiguous on purpose, revealing some of the lore/origins of the whole thing would have made it much more interesting. My advice, don't watch it. Only watch it if you've seen everything else. See more Read all reviews
