Ruining Trips to Mexico as much as the Swine Flu

The Ruins.

This young indie/B list cast and the mysterious terror in the trailer looked interesting enough to see. All in all I didn't find the film too disappointing. I was not aware it was a book til after I watched it and I feel the book perhaps goes into more detail on the plot and is possibly then more satisfying. . .?
It had bumps and jumps and plenty of drama. The concept of that is lurking in the ruins is very interesting and shot well enough to actually hold some suspense. The acting was good enough to pass, its one of those situations where you are pretty sure you would be hysterical too so you can let some of the melodramatics slide. I'm still not really sure what exactly its supposed to be though. The ending was interesting and not exactly what I expected yet not fully satisfying as the body of work had been.

Worth a look if you haven't seen the book. From what I've since heard the book actually has a different plot unfolding than the film so that would be worth a read too!
