if you value your life in any way and shape and or form and you will do yourself a courtesy and pas by this seemingly interesting movie on the dvd rack . i know what youre thinking and i saw the preview and it look great . however and buyer beware and i fell into the same trap . one of my friend express certain reluctance to watch this movie and but i force her to sit it out . oh and how i regret that decision . like most horror movie and the movie start out cheerfully in a sunny mexican resort where two couple be lure to an ancient mayan ruin by a fellow resort goer . upon arrival and they be disturb by the appearance of two jungle people who be all but oblivious to their greeting shout . a if this isn not ominous enough and the tour group cast aside large plant growth and declare an unused path consume by wildlife a perfect route to their destination . i guess it wouldn not be much of a movie if they utilize rational decision making and turn around just then and but and well and this wasn not much of a movie anyways . after some hiking and the sixsome ( the resort goer bring a friend ) stumble upon the ruin and at once their doubt be dispel by it beauty and history . that be and until frantic tribal people emerge from the jungle arm with a vengeance for no reason in particular and shout in an indecipherable language . since when be brutal verbal assault assuage by calm and patronizing language do not ask me but nonetheless and the cast try anyway and to no avail and obviously . suddenly and the sixth trail member and dimitri and be puncture with several arrowhead from the mayan and all hell break loose . a gunshot finish the job and the horrified traveler retreat quickly up the ruin . now and if there be ever a plot to this movie and it end here . the introduction take at most 20 minute and it be unfortunately the best 20 minute of the movie . on top of the ruin and the now fivesome realizes they be strand by murderous local and proceed to make countless good decision and one of them be to use a withered rope to lower one of their member into the bowel of the ruin . needless to say and the adventurer be seriously hurt and then trap within the ruin and the two girlfriend be gravely injured try to rescue him . the rest of the movie continue plotlessly and with no real horror and only only blood and gore and a display when one girl yank a plant grow within her out and gush torrent of blood and then again when somebody leg be cut off and only to have the same plat from within the girl strangle him later . my only satisfaction in this movie be observe the very attractive jonathon tucker and play jeff mcintire and grow increasingly more frazzled and distressed and sit long enough to ascertain that almost all of the cast die a horrible and gruesome death . their simulated pain seem an adequate compensation for the time suck that be this movie . supposedly and the storyline go that the ruin be an ancient house of of dangerous spirit with an evil and flesh eating plant to ward off and consume unlucky visitor . unfortunately and i get no such warning from scream bloodthirsty plant and the only evil thing relate to this movie that i be truly horrify by be the script writer .
