The Ruins – coming to a theatre on March 8th
The ruins, staring our favourite actress, Ms Jena Malone, is currently in post production and is set for a release date of March 8th. Lets have a peak at the plot shall we?
A group of friends whose leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they, along with a fellow tourist embark on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the ruins.
Can’t think of any scary movie that Jena has been in, perhaps this is a first? Check out the trailer to see what I mean.
Due to the mainly idiotic and somewhat xenophobic US (wannabe) horror films of late (which confuse horror, scare and thrill with cheap gore, i.e. Hostel, Saw, all the unnecessary remakes, etc.), I’m quite sceptical about this one based on the storyline (I haven’t read the book though.).
But having said this, I’m always excited when a new film with Jena Malone is released and therefore will watch this one as well. And, so far, she has always made intelligent choices in picking roles in interesting movies. Maybe Jena manages to raise the genre back to its old glory like Jamie Lee Curtis did 30 years ago…
Well put miniboy! It certainly is a different role to what we are used to with Jena’s choices .. I guess only time will tell!
