no scare effect

The name "Terrorist Ruins" sounds majestic. I thought it was a large ruin with countless dead people, but the ruins were just a small Mayan temple. The content was not very scary or disgusting. Why the ruins are so dangerous and do not do any blocking; why those plants will only grow on the ruins and not spread; why the guards don't shoot them directly with arrows after they climb up the ruins, After all, they've all touched those plants; why didn't Matthias pass out in pain when he amputated his leg... It feels bloody for blood's sake, and the atmosphere, characters, etc. have not been handled well.

Jeff: [grabbing a water bottle from Stacy] We should save this.
Eric: Hey, she's thirsty.
Jeff: I know, it's just that we don't have that much.
Eric: Well why do you get to decide Jeff?
Jeff: Okay, well we can all decide. But just keep in mind that each of us needs a half a gallon of water every day just to survive. And right now, we don't even have a day's worth.

Jeff: One of you has to go.
Amy: Go? Go where?
Jeff: Down. We're going to check the rest of the rope and make sure it's secure, and then one of you...
Amy: [interrupting him] Why do we have to go? Why can't you or Eric?
Jeff: Because you're not strong enough. We need to work the crank.
Stacy: [after a long pause] I'll go.
