Luckily, I'm in the latter category. The Ruins takes a simple idea, sets up some characters just enough so you care about them, weaves a simple plot around the idea, and takes it to its logical conclusion. It's not gonna win any awards for subtlety or depth, but there is a nice attention to detail, and it does what it does very well. And what it does is gross you out. Make you squirm in your seat. Maybe even barf a little.
As someone who's watched many, many horror movies, it takes a lot to accomplish that goal with me, but even I found my face twisting with horror at some of the stuff in this movie. If you're into that sort of thing, The Ruins is highly recommended.

What's this I hear about a moustache???
Nothing to do with this post, but did you email Caitlin? She's gonna send you TWO buttons! haha
Sarah: Uh DUH, it's Movember. It's attached to a beard right now, so it's not a true moustache, but that beard is coming off sometime soon.
Sass: Hehe, I did email her. I'm so looking forward to the buttons. I will wear them everywhere.
And the book was 10 times better with a more believable ending, but they did a good job bringing the words to life in the movie
I do! I have her button on the neck of my winter jacket. we're like style buddies.
