I didn't see this on the big screen, but it got some good reviews from a lot of horror sites. http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/the-ruins.html

I also heard some good reviews about this one. Not sure if I'd blind buy it, but if I hear some more good things I might grab it on sale.

Rue Morgue gave the film a good review - I like their opinions on films.

I liked it a lot. Can't wait to see how many microseconds of gore are added to the unrated cut.

I was pretty disappointed with the movie after having read the book just before I saw it, but I'll give it another shot on DVD.

I read the book and saw the movie...and enjoyed both. The book was better...but I still think they did a good job with the movie.

Yeesh. After reading the book, I figured they'd butcher the story for the movie. Reviews generally panned it. Might rent this on Blu though...
