Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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?

OK I saw this film near when it first came out & it was one you remember. So just come back from Mexico & it brought it back to memory & I decided to watch it again. But I'm shocked to see such a low rating this film is about a 7.5 The story is such a original idea unlike all the constant crap coming out at the minute & none stop remakes. The cast has decent acting & there's.some lovely photography. I knew before I watched it there was some scene that I didn'tlike (goryness) but tthere's actually more than I remember I felt myself nearly throw up a few times.. As for the plot I'm not going to write anything as wouldn't want to spoil it .

Not on the same level as the Silence of the Lambs or The Shining, but that's because it isn't a horror psychological thriller, it doesn't have deep meaningful conversations or writing... and it's amazing. The directing is okay, it doesn't try and pass the movie off as some artsy film and pan up from the gore often. It doesn't leave you with questions relating to the duality of man (any Kubrick fans?), but a hell of an adrenaline rush. Well worth the watch, one of the best pure horror movies i've seen. I'd rate it 9/10 for it's genre, but IMDb doesn't work that way. I love meaningful movies, and I love the art in movie making but sometimes you have to sit down for an hour and watch something that gets your heart pumping.

This was not an entirely bad movie, nor was it a very good movie. The story was good. I really liked the mysterious plant idea and I don't care that after warts you don't know how and why. The only thing I am really bugged about is this. The Mexicans chased them ( in the begging) on the temple (because they where already infected). Why don't they scare them off before going into the infected area? It could have saved a lot of trouble and the people would still all be alive! But yeah, then you wouldn't have a movie. It's one of those things you think of after seeing the movie. It's just one of those holes you sometimes counter in a movie.The acting was okay. It's just the same group of teens you see in almost every horror movie except these teens weren't dumb, they where actually quite okay/smart for a horror movie.It was an okay horror movie. Not bad not good. It didn't get to me and it wasn't anything special either.
