Worst movie ever. So cheesy and predicable. Not even scary.
The book was outstanding! The movie sticks close to the story line. The trailers seem exciting and as intense as each page of this thriller. With a total of 503 pages, it only took me four nights to read it. You can't put this book down and it looks like you can't stay in your seat with this movie.
I just finished the book (which took me 2 days) and now i am watching the clips to see if i want to find the movie. I can already see that they changed what happened and to who so that may be confusing for the people who intend to go from movie to book. Awesome book,, couldn't put it down. Creepy and it makes you question some of the choices you made while traveling in foreign countries (or
No better than a Twilight Zone episode. Really.

More disgusting than scary, The Ruins is the latest in a long line of horror films about upper-middle-class travelers being terrorized in unfamiliar environments. Full Review

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. Full Review

In order to appreciate The Ruins, one has to be a die-hard fan of horror or bloody thrillers. Those in that category will discover that The Ruins delivers the goods. Full Review

In the end, the gimmick is too risible and its effects on the characters too forced to sustain either suspense or horror. Full Review

As it stands, The Ruins is about as interesting as a pile of old stones and a monkey-dumb yanqui falling prey to the horrors of globalization. And that's pretty dumb. Full Review
