A married couple becomes stranded at an isolated motel and finds hidden video cameras in their room. They soon realize that unless they escape, they'll be the next victims of a snuff film.
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.
In the novel, there are no "ruins" to speak of, just a hill overgrown with the vines and the shaft cut into it. Director Carter Smith suggested changing it to an ancient Mayan temple, an idea with which writer Scott B. Smith agreed. See more »
Goofs
The ruins have an opening at the top. A rope hangs down, and people can lower others by turning a wheel. When one character is going down into the ruins, the camera changes quickly between the person going down into the ruins and the characters lowering the rope. However, they are turning the wheel the wrong way, and the rope is moving up. See more »

Director Eli Roth should take note of and learn from this film. It is what Cabin Fever hoped to be... spooky.
Two twenty-something couples are vacationing in Mexico when they are invited to witness the excavation of some ancient ruins. Instead of fun and excitement, however, the four are held captive at top of the ruins by the locals. But it isn't long before they find they may be in even greater danger. Something cunning, hungry, and green has a taste for human flesh and the four vacationers have rung the dinner bell.
The characters seemed real. The mood was gripping. There were some good scares. I enjoyed it.
