I found The Ruins extremely enjoyable to watch.It was a nice add to the horror genre, and quite frankly, I feel as if it is getting a lot of unfair treatment.It wasn't bad at all.The acting was great, the story line was cool and different, and the movie keeps your attention the whole time you're watching it.The special effects were pretty good, and the characters, even though I did find a few to be cardboard characters, were all unique and likable.Overall, The Ruins lived up to my expectations, which I was expecting it to be great, and it was.I recommend you watch it if you're into horror movies, because I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
