Description: STOCK PHOTOS ONLY The Ruins Your perception of plants as either fearsome or not will ultimately influence your reaction to the gruesome horror film The Ruins. However, director Carter Smith, along with his dedicated cast and crew, truly invest themselves in translating the spine-tingling essence of Scott Smith's novel onto the cinematic canvas. The film features notable performances from Jena Malone (known for Saved) and Shawn Ashmore (from the X-Men series), portraying a pair of American couples vacationing in Mexico. They find themselves ambushed by aggressive Mayans and are compelled to ascend an ancient temple, where a monstrous and cunning entity lies in wait. Although director Smith and his skilled team—comprised of talented individuals such as cinematographer Darius Khondji (renowned for Se7en) and composer Graeme Revell—craft a visually stunning horror experience, they struggle to create true suspense (though the gore is effectively portrayed). Furthermore, Scott Smith's screenplay diminishes much of the character development and escalating dread present in the original book, leaving the likable cast somewhat stranded. The film’s monster, which was both frightening and innovative in the source material, may elicit as many laughs as it does screams from audiences, particularly when showcasing its distinctive abilities.
