Diagonaldi Very well executed

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

murray_johnc A horror movie quite a few notches above the usual affair. An innocent looking vine that has the virulence of a cordyceps fungus is quite a novel idea. However, a plot flaw - in my opinion - was the reasoning behind those brutal methods employed by the Mayan villagers to keep the lethal vine contained. The vine clearly had red flowers, so it would not have relied on infected humans to spread itself beyond the confines of the pyramid and invade new territory. Flowers are not there to make plants look pretty, they exist solely to be pollinated by insects, bats, hummingbirds . . whatever, germinate and then scatter their seeds to the four winds. Besides, wouldn't any fauna that pollinated those flowers become infected and fly away from the ruin before succumbing to the parasite?

shadowfax73 Some years ago I read the novel this was based on and I have to say it left a real bitter taste in my mouth - too depressing, too intense and too obvious that it would not have a happy ending. I figured that, as usual, the movie would be inspired by the book and go in its own direction. Er.....no. The movie follows the book about as closely as any movie has and has the same oppressing sense of doom all the way through. If you are a gore fan,enjoy. I personally was left with the same depressed feeling as I had with the book.

hellholehorror It looked nice. The blacks were crushed and the whites too hot but that seems the style now and it looks fine. I would have rather seen it in high-def due to the lovely landscapes but I'm not that arsed. I liked the sounds actually. The sound effects were convincing and the music was unnoticeable (so it must have done its job). It has the slowest pacing. The most shocking scene is where the guy is shot but that takes place early on and is soon forgotten amongst rather boring plant attacks. To be fair there are some gross bits but it is not enough to stop is being boring. The characters are too annoying and you want them to die. There is no emotional attachment. It reminded me of Hostel (2005) in structure. For a horror film it is not scary. It's not even that gory or anything. It is boring though!

OneEightNine Media This film starts out like every single horror movie involving a group of young sexy people going somewhere they shouldn't be going, so we've seen this plot a million times before but the only difference is the "monster." The straight up evil a$$ plants or vines slowly make their presence known and that is about the time this movie gets fun. If there were a few more dollars pumped into this movie, as well as a good script scrubbing and DEFINITELY a different director, this could have been a much better film and maybe even a timeless cult classic. The vines are honestly super refreshing in these times we're living in where zombies, vampires and etc are pretty played out. This is an "only if" kind of movie. Only if they had another director mainly; but whatever, at least whoever doing the special effects did his job right.
