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.

No better than a Twilight Zone episode. Really.

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 greatful to be back home safe)

I thought it was a fairly good movie, my wife read the book, didn't like it, but we went anyway. Actually, it was pretty scary, or gross, or both. It was definitely worth the money.

I actually had the pleasure of finishing the book the night before seeing the movie, Everything they could possibly change, they changed. I personally believe to save money on a big money action horror movie. A phenomanal read, great book, really good suspenseful story, and then the movie screwed it up. AND ROYALY AT THAT! MAKING UP CHARACTERS, AND NEW STORY LINES. REARRANGING PLOTS AND CHARACTERS TO DIE DIFFERENTLY THAN THE BOOK. POETIC LICENSE IS ONE THING, MAKING THIS FROM BOOK TO MOVIE IS THE REAL H O R R O R !!

I'm an avid book reader and would have read the book first had I known that it WAS a book. Anyway, I saw the matinee, and it was worth my money. I definitely don't think that it was a waste of my time. I did enjoy the movie, but did not get some of the answers that I wanted. Someone posted a spoiler, so it makes sense now. I also would have like to know the history behind The Ruins and WHY what was happening was happening. Other than that, it was cool. Worth seeing.

The two guys in the end were the 2 greeks. The other greek left them the map in the begining while they were past out and everyone was debating wether or not they would actually come and they did. I'm assuming the girl in the beginning was the girl Henrich (Mathias' brother) oringinaly met and went to the ruins with. You should definitly read the book if you liked the movie. The characters are actually alittle different and each of their fates is different then that of the movie.
