The Ruins (2008). Overall, a fairly solid horror entry. The strength of this flick is in its honesty. It simply tells a horror based story without tricks or winks. Instead, this was a well told, and rather well acted, tale of things gone horribly wrong with nary a chance to get better. Sprinkle in some boobs and some skull-wrenching gore and we have the perfect ingredients for a competent horror flick. There were some beautifully shot scenes was well, making good use of the filming location (which was actually Australia). Definitely worth a watch. Ashe.
