OK, now you have to trust me on this one....think Mexico, think beach holiday and think evil in the jungle. I know, it's a bit of a stretch to think that this heady combination could ever be scary but believe you me, it is.Not only is this very scary, it is also completely gross which gets extra points in my book! If you're as squeemish as I am, you will be REALLY uncomfortable with some of the scenes on the ruins -eeeuuuwww! There's no-one you'd know in the cast but really well done and probably quite a good starting horror for anyone wanting to dip a toe in the water.
SECOND OPINION: I had no idea what this film would be about, which helps. If you'd like to play the game, stop reading now and risk a rent.
The set-up is pure slasher, young college kids get bored of sitting poolside and decide to check out some ancient ruins. Ahh, the guy who suggests they go is setting them up, right? Nope. So there's a monster in the ruins? Wrong. So it's the locals stopping them from leaving the ruins then? Think again. This film does nothing you expect it to and, as a result, churns out some really inventive horror pieces. Watch carefully people, the detail and really creepy goings on happen almost out of sight in a 'did I just see what I thought I saw' kind of way. You did, and you'll see a lot more before the night is through!
