THE RUINS
The Story:
Based on the terrifying best-seller by Scott Smith, While on vacation in a resort in Mexico, the Americans Jeff (Jonathan Tucker), his girlfriend Amy (Jena Malone), her best friend Stacy (Laura Ramsey) and her boyfriend Eric (Shawn Ashmore) befriend the German Mathias (Joe Anderson) in the swimming pool.
Mathias invites the group to visit the ruins of a Mayan temple with his Greek friend Dimitri (Dimitri Baveas) in an archeological field where his brother Henrich (Jordan Patrick Smith) and his girlfriend are camped eighteen kilometers far from the resort.
They hire an old taxi and when they reach the spot, they are surrounded by Mayan villagers armed of revolver, rifle and bow-and-arrow that kill Dimitri and do not allow the group to leave the place.
They climb a construction covered of creepers with red flowers, and remain under siege of the locals. When they hear a cell phone in the bottom of a well, Mathias decides to seek the apparatus using a rope that breaks and he has a serious accident breaking his back.
Amy and Stacy go to the bottom of the mine to rescue Mathias and they find many corpses covered by the climbing plants; further, they realize that they had been lured by the plants that are vibrating with the sound of a cell phone. When they are attacked by the carnivorous creeping plants, they understand the reaction of the Mayan villagers.
