The Ruins

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.
That something evil that I thought would be scary turns out to be nothing more than a plant monster.  Yeah that’s right I just ruined the ruins.  I’d still throw it in the average mix of horror films that I’ve reviewed.  It wasn’t terrible and it was entertaining. 
The beginning is a bit slow but it has to be to build the characters toward some bloody violence and death.  Yeah!  Some sweet scenes for you horror fans to look forward include:
Close Up assasinations
Close Up Amputations with Rocks and a hunting knife. 
And a medley of other scenes including blood and pain.
So this one gets a 5/10 putting it right at average.  The ending is somewhat weak as most films are (excluding The Mist obviously)  but overall an ok film. 
again  5/10
