Summary: YES, this movie is in RUINS.
Comment: I've not read the book this film was based on. Despite that, I still find this movie delivers no suspense nor thrilling. There are a couple of scary scenes. For example, it's the scene where one of the girls cut off the flesh from her leg to get rid of the plants that had eaten it way into her body. The acting is below par. I do not feel sympathetic for the characters. The worse thing is the special effects. The devilish plants look fake.
It's a typical bad B movie. I am glad my friend rented it for us.

Summary: Waste of Time and Money
Comment: I have long accepted the fact that horror movies will almost never receive the best film award. But we still keep watching them because there is a certain entertainment value. We like the suspense, the horror, the shock and the surprises. This movie has none of it. The acting is bad. The story is bad. The "monster" is laughable (can anyone say Little Shop of Horrors?). The entire feeling of the movie is as if someone was under a two hour deadline to come up with and write a story. It was very entry level. Sorry, if I could give it less than one star I would.

Summary: What would have made this movie better!
Comment: The reviews have it, this film is crap.
Seems that maybe if the kids in this movie had the amount of warnings posted by reviewers (stay away the film it's crap) then maybe we would not have another movie about stupid kids being preyed upon by some sort of unworldly killer. Recycle, recycle, recycle, the same boring elements and add killer plants instead of redneck mutants, evil doctors, local natives (although the film had a few), or someone taunted as a child now seeking revenge. The characters are so stupid and annoying, you can't wait for them to die. Too bad it takes over an hour for it to happen.
It would have been more fun if it happened in a subdivision with soccer moms and their snotty ADD suffering offspring getting victimized. For all of you Chemlawn zombies, the crab grass means to "ruin" more than your perfect lawns! Or maybe, "they ate the salad, but it was not organic, and now they will pay the price." Just a few thoughts for a better script next time.

Summary: Sincere acting keeps this movie from tanking
Comment: lets face it, killer vegatation isn't high on the list of most horrifying things that can kill you. But, this cast manages to keep a straight face. Not great but not terrible either. Mild chills, nothing that will keep you awake though. Enjoy.

Summary: Underrated Horror Film
Comment: I had not read the book, in fact, I didn't even know what the movie was about. I was bored one afternoon, so decided to go to a matinee. The theater was almost completely empty and I wondered if I had wasted another $7 on a horribly boring/lame scary movie. I didn't. I loved this film. Considering that the only horror movies getting made are crappy remakes of classics and asian films, The Ruins was a breath of fresh air.
