      This story tells us that knowledge is life

      I've seen some people say before, "It's old-fashioned, nothing new, but I've actually passed the period of criticism." There is no so-called novelty in this world. Historians have a famous saying, to the effect that all things have happened. Even if it didn't happen, it's all fantasies. When you feel that something can still make you feel very innovative, then you must be conscious. It is not that it is really innovative, but that you have less knowledge, and you will mistake it for it to be...

      Don't go on vacation! ! !

      New horror movie. What is flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, see it? This film refreshed our understanding. There are no demons, ghosts, or cannibals in it, but it is just a bunch of vines that prevent you from escaping and ascending to heaven. Although those natives are angry, they are not doing it wrong. In theory, they are the best way to prevent the spread of vines. The girl who escaped in the end is really pitiful. You thought everything was OK, hehe, you are already our...

      no horror movie on the pyramid

      This is a very painful movie. It is a bit far-fetched to classify it as a horror movie. The most shocking part of the whole film does not exceed 10 minutes, and the atmosphere and rendering are not in place.
            Mentioning horror movies undoubtedly makes people feel that kind of tense and exciting atmosphere from the bottom of their hearts. In the whole article, I have not found a single episode that can feel tense, even if it is just a few minutes after entering the pyramid. , no...

      Just write whatever you want, there are spoilers

      The girl in the dark at the beginning was suddenly caught by something! Zhen Nima screamed in fright! At the end, the heroine escaped in a car, which made me a little disappointed. I thought it was a tragedy, but the two tourists at the end heralded a new round of torture. In the second half, there is a detail that the male protagonist was used as a bait, but he was shot by a Jew, and then he was entangled by vines and pulled inward. The Jewish boss couldn't bear the male protagonist being...

      Children with intellectual disabilities do not explore

      No waiting for travel companions, no satellite phones, no local guides, no local taboos. After wasting two hours, I only saw four white-skinned pigs with no common sense dying, and basically violated the major taboos of wild adventure. It is estimated that without this cannibal plant, they would also die:

      1. Offending the ancestral land of the indigenous people and then being killed
      2. Being kidnapped by cannibal tribes to do BBQ
      3. Getting lost in the rainforest and dying...

    Evaluation action

    "The Ruins" earnestly follows the classic style of horror films, but it lacks personality. The superficiality of the main characters can be called the primary cause of failure. The nightmarish intention of unfolding the plot fails to be implemented. Instead, the sinister stage of unnecessary undressing and a lot of rain has become a nightmare of aesthetic fatigue   .

    The plot of "The Ruins" is slightly...

    Movie quotes

    • [upon seeing a drunken Amy dancing with Mathias]

      Eric: How much you want to bet she kisses him?

      Stacy: She's freaking out that Jeff's med school is like two thousand miles away, okay?

      Eric: Okay, how much?

      Stacy: She's not going to kiss him.

      Eric: Alright, you know what? Oral sex, the winner receives.

      Stacy: [shaking his hand] Oral sex? Okay.

    • Jeff: People come from all over the world just to see these ruins, especially one that's not on the map. I'm not taking you to some tourist trap, honey. Don't you want to have some experience or something to shoot other than the beach, the pool, the beach, the pool?

      Amy: Well, you're already dressed, so you might as well go without me.

      Jeff: Hey, but I don't want to go without you.

    • Stacy: [hurrying to catch the bus] Jeff is going to be pissed if we miss it.

      Eric: Oh, the terrible wrath of Jeff, followed by I'm sure the more frightening whining of Amy.

      Stacy: She's not that bad.

      Eric: No, but I bet she's feeling pretty awkward right now, wouldn't you?
