The Ruins
04/15/2008 Posted by IMHOpinion
IMO this was a low budget movie with a comic book storyline from the 70's (though I can't put a name to what comic book it was in I can't help but feel I have seen this story line in a comic book format as a kid, even the "unique" story aspects were not new to me, just cute). The one redeeming feature was how laugh out loud funny the shocking scenes were-over the top doesn't express it well enough. Robert Rodriguez "Planet Horror" type of funny. Sadly the movie takes itself seriously-but that makes it even funnier. Go for a laugh but not for a good horror flick, this one isn't it.
Pros: Jungle was real enough, pretty actresses, funny horror scenes
Cons: The Pyramid was a bust. Better Maya-like pyramid replicas are at putt putt golf courses.
