Kenji Wrote:No-brainer type!? Oh...well,....that's exactly fit for me! :p
Anyway, the novel was pretty good horror. The movie is B-movie. I LOVE B-movies.
Kenji Wrote:Has anyone seen this movie?
I read the novel by Scott Smith, and I enjoyed it. But the movie was un-released in Japan. So I saw it on DVD. Japanese title is "Parasite Biting". (What a.....?)
The Ruins is one of the creepiest, most disturbing story. So this movie was surprisingly well done. Especially the scenes of creepy creepers creeping to 5 young tourists, that was really....ugh! :eek:
The movie was 90 min. First 88 min was okay, But the last three min disappointed me. That ruined the movie, totally.

P.S. I'm about half-way through the book.
The Mad American Wrote:Yeah, I agree with that as well. Not only taking pictures but the way in which it was portrayed. I would have just left her, or at least thrown a good sized rock at her.

saynomore Wrote:Good one, Gerr. Makes me think of the Indiana Jones movie where Indy is on the side of the zooming truck full of Germans, picking them off one by one. Why didn't they just stop the truck and kick his ass? Nope, they had to keep driving until Indy had the upper hand.

P.S. Another one: In War Games, Mathew Broderick's computer has a cheap voice module. When we get into NORAD, we hear that their computer has the same cheap voice module. You'd think the U.S. gov't could afford a better voice module. "Would you care for a game of chess?"
