Ruins


This film bombed at the box office. I liked it. I think that I would not have minded paying to watch it at the cinema as well. I have not watched much horror, but I need inspiration for my role playing adventures and this is a plot that I might use.

I watched it when my wife and daughter were out for a meal. My son has gone to a sleepover, his second in both a month and since he has been at his secondary school. My wife had not been feeling that well in the day and had rested in bed. While I had a big lunch, my daughter and her were understandably hungry so went out for a meal together, which is when I watched it (my wife is not a fan of horror).

I thought that the film was put together well, that the plot was sound and it had decent acting, direction and characters. I would recommend it to others, and I might even watch it again in the future. I am surprised that it did not do better when it was released, but if you have Netflix in the UK, it is worth watching. Just not before you eat dinner. 

If you have watched it, these deleted scenes will make sense. Do not watch them. That is assuming that this video is still available when you read this post.
