The Ruins

From the writer of the great thriller A Simple Plan comes this creepy tale about a group of friends who become entangled in a brutal struggle for survival after visiting a remote archaeological dig in the Mexican jungle where they discover something deadly living among the ruins – namely vicious man-eating vines!

This is director Carter Smith’s feature-film debut, although he had already won the top prize at Sundance for his short film Bugcrush. Award-winning Lord of the Rings production designer Grant Major was one of his team, with Queensland, Australia, standing in for Cancun, Mexico.
