  • @ductuslupus87

    I just finished watching it on BBC one

  • @oiiReAPeRz me 2 i thought it sucked, they left the guy with the bad legs next to the vines, instad of moving him closer to camp i mean this sucked

  • I've just seen this Film. Can someone explain to me why the females are always the weaker sex in genres such as this?

  • Anyone else think it's weird that the top commets are in a different language?

  • I remember watching this with my dad. I was watching T.V guide to see what was on and he saw that it was on and he was like "Hey the ruins, let's watch that." This was the first movie I ever watched that made me cover my eyes. Besides maybe one of those Saw movies but still...it totally freaked me out! The worse part for me was when they had to cut that guys legs off! If you're looking for a movie that will freak you out...watch this!

  • wait wait wait.....it was eric who cut himself up trying to get the vine out...not a girl....

  • @BatgirlWayne they switched the events of the book and handed them to different characters, to switch it up, so the movie would be shocking and not predictable. i thought that was a good method, it worked. i like the book more, but the movie's a close second. the only thing the movie has over the book was the ending to the book leaves you feeling kind of numb...

  • This was a really good book!

  • Idiots.

  • "Its inside me" thats what she said

  • LOVED this film. SO UNDERRATED/UNHEARD OF!! needs more credit!

  • @RunsecapeDelvelop It worth to watch... but it has got a lot of blood xD

  • I want to buy this movie!

  • wierd top comments :o

  • don't understand low rating at all. it's kind of psychological/psychedelic(?) horror movie. acting is great and realistic that you actually feeling bad for these guys.

  • @earthless1990 word..throught the whole movie i was feelin' like damn thats fucked up...

  • will you ppl ever shut the f *** up with the f***g mayas???? they WERE NOT THE ONLY ancient civilization on this stupid planet! every damn movie you can find out is about mayas.mayas this,mayas that,mayas did this mayas did that..

  • @AlexandarDark1 I know right?! The Aztecs did worse things than the Mayans.

  • @AlexandarDark1 im gay

  • sucked

  • It is sooooo scary I accidently watched this when I was like 6, and now I'm TERRIFIED of bugs

  • @DancinDaisyDoodleBu9 so youre still a little kid, and a movie about plants made you afraid of bugs?... I CALL BULL SHIT

  • I just watched this... Gory piece of shit

  • This movie didnt scare me but I must admit the acting was good & some scenes were super graphic! haha

  • VERY POOR FILM :/

  • Fucking dirty Mayans!

  • although talking plants is pretty lame i have to say the acting was great. you end up feeling really bad for them lol

  • @raquelrawrs123 They actually don't talk, it's a lure mechanism that imitates any loud sound.

  • bad movie

  • the ending sucks. out of all the people i wanted to die, only the dumb bitch lives.

  • αν είστε Έλληνες και μπορείτε να διαβάσετε αυτό το μπράβο (:

  • @MrHamburgerz δάγκωσε μου τον <3

  • @mikethedragonslayer Δεν είμαι καλός

  • my first horror film the harderst part was the cutting herself but those plants that are scrreaming was like my mom that was shaking with her pants

  • Comment removed

  • one of the best horror films i have ever seen.

  • its inside me 

  • @PuffSmelly

    Thats what she said :D

  • I just finished the book. Now to see the movie.

  • I saw this movie (turns out i had it on dvd for like a year and never saw it o.O) and it was ok, but the plot was just pretty dumb, possesed temple/plants? and the ending was pretty lame as well.......

  • just saw this. was bloody good,

    But I think for some films the trailers show too much. better just to read the description IMO

  • Very bloody movie and the most scariest part is when the dead girl in the temple turned her head when the 2 girls Amy and Stacey were down there to look for a phone

  • αν εισαι ελληνας και η αγαπημενη σου σκηνη ηταν η τελευταια, thumps up!!!

  • @KaterinaHatz πολυ ωραια η τελευταια σκηνη..ακουσαμε και εμεις εστω μια φραση ελληνικη!

  • @KaterinaHatz nai otws...eidame ki emeis se mia 3enh tainia ellhnes..

  • @KaterinaHatz what

  • @NoirYorkCity haha it's greek

  • Comment removed

  • I think i remember watching this.... was okay

  • Awesome premise, but they are getting killed by VINES. I mean, really? This is worse than that other movie (The Happening?), where they were running from the WIND.

  • @Blackobluna Hey!.... That movie was good -____-

    haa

  • impressive !!!

  • DON'T READ IF HAVEN'T SEEN MOVIE I found this movie disturbing. It's worth watching, but as per all horror films everyone in it is incredibly annoying. The only person I liked was the Sleepers guy. And it was sad how he ended up dying and the slut from Stepmom, who's fault all of this was, is the only one who ended up living.

  • @haleyteddy03 exactly what i thought, i wanted him to survive, he was smart and cool. The bitch who survived thought it was a good idea to take photos? Got one guy killed, and that little kid after throwing some of that plant at her

  • @Morain42 I completely agree.

  • @Morain42 She didn't get anyone killed. They shot him because he stepped onto the plant and began walking towards them.

  • @GothamRole oh ok yea but what about the little kid? She threw plant at him so they had to kill him

  • @Morain42 At that point they STILL had no idea the plant was the reason for the villager's being so hostile. If it wasn't for her throwing the plant, the tourists wouldn't have known why they wouldn't let them go. She is still just as innocent as everyone else she was with. It was a tragic experience.

  • @GothamRole ahhhh ok so she sort of did something good, discovering the reason for their imprisonment at the ruin.

  • @haleyteddy03 How can you put blame on a character who had no idea the plant she was stepping into was dangerous. NO ONE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON! The Mayan's tried to explain but since they didn't speak spanish and the characters didn't speak mayan no one was able to get a message across.

  • @haleyteddy03 i totally agree. that bitch should've died first with her dumbass.

  • @x0ticShwty Thank You! Nobody seems to agree with me for whatever psycho reason.

  • its a good horror movie without a serial killer in it.

  • parts 0:49 and 1:07 are the grossest parts ever!

    

  • Jonothan tucker is so hot. (:

  • umm not gonna judge the book, but the movie to me was terrible but thats me some parts in it a better than others

  • sooooo goooooooood!!!!!!

  • book was better

  • 0:41 actually they blow his head off :P

  • The book is better! So much is missing here. And I wanted to see Stacy as a shower under the rain fell, just as in the book. :)

  • The book is the most depressing, hopeless novel I've ever read. Extremely well written, but by the end I was almost ready to cut my own wrists. I've never read a horror novel where there were no seeds of hope for the characters. Damn. Getting bummed out just thinking of it.

  • @shiverpunt the movie left out the bast/main parts the book had and i agree the book was deep

  • @shiverpunt

    that sounds just like stephen king's novels XD

  • The happening!!!!! bwahhhh!!! xDD

  • The Mayan's predicted it !!!

  • Not a bad film. Best part to me was when Jeff was amputating the legs of the other guy.

  • I've actually been to Myan Ruins, so I guess I seen this movie in a whole different light than someone who has not been there.

  • not a bad movie, good entertainment and stacy (laura ramsey) was great to watch

  • This movie is titled The Ruins, and yes it Ruined my day. damn it.

  • One thousand years ago, this was a place of sacrifice. IT STILL IS.

    What an ingenious tagline. Brilliant.

  • @VicRattlehead50 was that sarcasm? lol

  • @LeonaRulez Yes.

  • I liked it. I probably would have tried burning that or just trowing those plants on the locals since they fear them so much.

  • This film was so fucking bad

  • Shit movie fuck it

  • Even though the movie didnt live up to my expectations, the acting was great!

  • @1lovealana watching it just now, i especially like the bit where the german gets his legs removed

  • This was F***ing awesome movie PERIOD !!

  • a very entertaining film. Good acting, especially the blond girl, her suffering is remarkably convincing.

  • @mistermendoza agreed!

  • scAryyYuu!

  • funniest. movie. ever.

  • OMG! It's Gretchan from Donnie Darko :O

  • i laughed the whole time while watching this

  • This movie was decent, original... well worth the watch

  • oh no laura ramsey! she's so not like the pretty covenant girl here!

  • which temle is that?

  • @Damondeeh20 It look like Maya Tempel..

  • @GSCookieProduction no shit it's a mayan temple asswipe, I was wondering which Mayan temple is it there are several.

  • I saw this movie yesterday and its absolutely awesome!, really good history and concept, but sometimes is really gross xD

  • Looks kinda gross... The movie I mean..

  • Comment removed

  • I'm greek and it was nice to hear ppl spek greek in the movie.

    But how are greeks and greek language related to mexico? O.o

    Anw i was dissapointed by the movie.I decided to watch it bcoz Jonathan Tucker was in it..Ok pretty much none of the horror movies make sense but this one was way to stupid for me.

    And they tried to make it a lit bit of a horror movie by showing us blood and people cut themselves.And to scare us by the ending and make it look  ''wow scary''. But it was kinda of a failure.

  • @olgakitz The greeks are there on vacation and meet the other characters at a bar i believe. I haven't watched the movie but i have the book and the book is awesome. I want to see the movie. If you read the book you'd probably understand a lot more about whats going on. When movies are based on books they tend to leave alot out because they are usually aimed at people that read the book and also if you put everything in the movie thats in the book the movie would be 10 hours long.

  • @loveabull1988 I didn't know it was based on a book.Generally,movies that are based on books are bad. I haven't read the book so i cant compare them. Anyway i didn't like the movie.I found the plot kinda stupid. I don't know :? Do you mean that the book is really good?

  • @olgakitz Yeah the book is by scott smith i think. The plot is actually kinda creepy and unique. Only some movies based on books are stupid. But shutter island, gone baby gone, jaws, jurassic park, the girl next door, the green mile, the shawshank redemption and alot more books have good movies based on them. I guess it depends on who directs and produces them. books are generally scarier and gorier than movies because the content of a book is more up to the author and not rating associations.

  • @olgakitz Movies based on books are bad?? Some very well-loved and well-known films are based off books: Ben Hur, Bladerunner, Amadeus, Apocalypse Now, Catch -22, Dances with Wolves, Die Hard, East of Eden, Field of Dreams, Forrest Gump, The Godfather, Gone with the Wind, Hunt for Red October, Out of Africa, Pelican Brief, Patriot Games, Psycho, Schindler's List, Silence of the Lambs, The Thin Red Line - think of how appreciated these films are. We wouldn't have them w/o the books.

  • @theultimateotaku you forgot the Shining.

  • i really fukin wish ppl wouldnt mention what happens underneath a trailer!!! Trailers are for ppl who havnt seen th film!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • viva mexico

  • i still can't belive this is from dream works XD

  • What Kind of PLANTS is That......?

  • @JOELers1 the one that fucks you up from the inside out XD

  • I saw the movie when in first came out, thought it was mediocre at best. Found out there was a book last week and just finished it today and needless to say the movie doesn't even come close to doing Scott Smith's book justice what-so-ever.

  • @itswoodie but he also wrote the screenplay lol. i was also disappointed with the movie

  • Are the parasites suppose to be worms or some kind of plant-like organism?

  • @Frost3784 OK whatever question you have about this movie save your breath, the storyline of this movie makes about as much sense as a screen door on a submarine. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Nothing grinds my gears like movies that just do not make any sense whatsoever.

  • @Beholder552

    this means u don't like horror movies bcoz if u do so, then let me ask u a question/

    which horror movie makes sense?

  • @Beholder552 Read the book. then youll understand the movie. The movie doesnt do the book justice. I havent seen it but movies based on books never do the book justice. The book is rad.

  • I almost fainted when they had to amputate the guy's legs ;p

  • the most disgustin part of the film is the rock ;)

  • Wuts the deziese

  • i dont know why i havent watched this movie yet looks great

  • this movie fucking sucked

  • I watched it today, and it was mad gross. Not as bad as movies like Cabin Fever, but still weird.

  • This movie is stupid, but have some interasting scenes (scene with rock) :)

  • dude

    I watched this yesterday and this movie never fail to surprise me o_0

  • Such a scary movie, but good movie

  • I hate that Amy girl! She was the one I was rooting to have the worst possible death! But you know what? That bitch actually survived!

  • @801Milcah Actually, no.

    When she was driving away, she had the vine above her eye, under the skin by her eyebrow.

    So, she dies, we just didn't see it.

    Also, the alternate ending, she dies & is buried in a cemetery, an old man is walking around and sees one of the flowers growing over her grave and making a screeching noise. So, she ended up spreading it.

  • @NicJenkette that gave me more reason to hate her. What a biatch. Go thing in the book, she did suffer. Hahaha!

  • @801Milcah you would enjoy the book then! she's the first to die!!

  • This Movie Is thw woirst miovie of 2008, and its is recomended that u do not go to ruins in mexioc and that ....pm if u want more of mah blog

  • @Heartless11Labs213, wth r u talking about? why shouldn't we visit ruins? -.-

  • its called the ''ruins'' becuz they ruin ur day XD that was a horrible pun

  • the ending was kinda a surprise to me for some reason haha

  • i would of made a molotov with all the whiskey bottles they had and thrown them at the plants.

  • @Evilpinguini In the book, that's what Jeff did in the mine shaft.

  • @mattmaid the first guy went down cuz they heard a ringing and thought it was a phone but it turned out it was the plants -_- ha!

  • what would happen if you smoked this?

  • @giantsrule13 lol why dont you try it well you gota have salt with it ya kno

  • @giantsrule13 you would turn into a bud

  • @giantsrule13 lol!!!!!!!!

  • The girls in this movie where so retarded

  • This movie is great and gorey....this movie is

    4/5 stars if i were to rate it

  • very cool movie.i don't know what was so disgusting about it.too bad i didn't want to see it earlier.

  • Just watched it. Didn't really think alot happened. The ending was a disappointment tbh, WHY they even went down the shaft in the first place is beyond me.

  • haha i just watched this .. did ur wan in the end survive ?? :L

  • do you think they are gonna make a second one?

  • theres soo many things they couldve done to prevent all that shit that happened xD but then where's the fun in that? c: lol this movie was great! creepy and disgusting.. >.> like that part when they cut off that guys legs :D eww(:

  • i just saw it , i just dont call this a horror movie , and for me nothing was disgusting , ive seen worst

  • The movie pretends to be a horror but it's more like a comedy with blood. Mattias from Austria has a very stereotype german accent (more than schwarzenegger back in the days) and what about the plant which sounded like a telephone ringtone lol.

  • I've watched some fucked up movies but hell this was a challenge for me.

    I did like the movie tho.. So if you think you can handle it, watch it

  • Lol there are a lot of things they could've done, and they make it look so hard.

  • is it a good movie?

    i wanna see a horror or something with my friends.

    so, should i see this?

    Or is this a bad movie.

    please say something back

  • @eMKEEE I enjoyed it I say go for it

  • This movie sucks all the way

  • Why didn't they threw the plants at all the people, so that they needed to kill eachother, and they could finally come down. Or they could have burned the plants...

  • @cheristina Yes, they could have thrown plant.. but thats just fucking retarded.. would you watch a movie with ppl throwing plants? :p and it wouldn't work anyway. Guns and arrows > throwing plants. they won't just stand there watching them throw plants.. And if burning the plants was an option, then they would have set fire to it when they walked in the place covered with plants while searching for the phone

  • If there are 60 Mexicans trying to keep people on the temple, why aren't there 60 mexicans trying to prevent people from reaching the temle?

    This movie is fucking stupid and a complete waste of time.

  • @MarcSilvestriFan It's a ritual.
