Loved the ruins. Surprised it was completely ignored when you go online and read reviews about this film most people loved it while everyone else ignored it.

One horror movie i had high expectations for was the orphanage but it wound up just being boring and cliche.

In the book the supernatural force is even a smaller part. The book at times plays more like ‘people lost in the desert’ story then horror, a lot of storyline was driven by them trying to figure out how they are going to get water and what they are going to do about the food. In the movie they basically got rid of all the ’surviving in a desert’ type stuff and kept all the horror stuff. I enjoyed the movie and would give it out a 710 but if the movie was maybe 15 minutes longer with the ’surviving in a desert’ material kept it would have been much better.

I wanted to catch this at the second run theater near me– I think I may pick up the Blu-Ray– $22.99 at best Buy this week.

I’ll second Wolf Creek but I hated The Ruins.

Seen it. The Aussie theme was a nice touch.

Tom, you should check out Wolf Creek. I was pleasantly surprised.

I’m interested in seeing this actually. I love the “Road Trip Gone Wrong” type of horrors.

I liked the movie, but it’s not nearly as good or as effective as the book. No big surprise, I suppose. Read the book. Read it. Seriously…
