Movie Reviews

KPBS.org - 9/10 by Beth AccomandoTo sum up The Ruins, I'll quote one of the characters: "This is so not okay."
BrianOrndorf.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfNear-perfect at manipulating its audience...it's a marvelous nightmare machine.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris HewittIf you're into grim, relentless drama that acknowledges the grief that comes with unspeakable tragedy (the recent The Descent comes to mind), then you are in luck.
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by David CorneliusIt may be just another white-kids-get-killed chiller, but it's a solidly made white-kids-get-killed chiller; nothing new, yet expertly put together.
WJFK-FM (CBS Radio) - 8/10 by Kevin McCarthyJust when you thought that a horror/thriller movie couldn't get more violent and gruesome; think again!
Paste Magazine - 8/10 by Robert DavisIt's the kind of film that Sam Raimi might have directed 20 years ago, except that Carter Smith plays it straight, even though he seems to assume the audience won't.
ESplatter - 8/10 by Lucius Gore... it's only after you've left the theater that you realize just how totally, utterly ludicrous the movie really is.
Cinema Signals - 8/10 by Jules BrennerNot just if you're a horror fan but also if you enjoy a well fashioned, slimy yarn to get wrapped up in.
DVD Review - 8/10 by Felix Gonzalez Jr.... soft-core torture porn that quite literally sets up its pretty, Hollywood protagonists for brutal sacrifice.
Reverse Shot - 8/10 by Leo GoldsmithSo bereft of creativity that it fails even to deliver to its base--teenage boys--the ghouls and boobs they so desperately want to see.
