A group of friends whose leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they, along with a fellow tourist embark on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the ruins.
What does everyone think of this?
Even if this was well liked, it was still highly underrated.

I loved it, great atmosphere, fantastic premise, brutal kills, and really great action. A few minor flaws, but nothing too serious and can come off as nit-picking at times.

Terrific film through and through, the leg amputation scene is so brutal, the film has a mean streak as all hell.

I don't really count two scenes (plus the chick who slices herself up trying to get them out from under her skin) being really over-the-top as being a mean film. Brutal, yes, but the fact that it's not a continuous device used in the film isn't enough for me to say so.
Great film either way.

Mean film, I meant it in a way that shows us that there good people but does not go easy on them.

Right, I know that but to me, a mean film is one where it feels like that continuously throughout the entire running time. One or two admittedly-impressive scenes just doesn't register to me as a mean film.

Well, I don't throw labels like that around without just cause. As if I did that, then I could call Malibu Shark Attack brutal for the surgery scene after the tsuami when they're repairing the girls' leg, yet that was the most blood in the entire film and it barely showed much except for a few brief close-ups. I'm just more cautious about throwing labels like that around.

The Ruins was more brutal then Malibu Shark Attack.... True, but the principal's the same: was that surgery scene a lot more brutal than what they usually show on the channel? Yeah (not by much, but it still counts) but still, claiming that it is just doesn't feel right. |

The Ruins just had a nasty edge to it,
It had a mean streak, and not just because of the gore.

I really didn't see it outside of the two scenes I mentioned earlier.
