The Ruins, the movie

So how did I enjoy watching a movie I had recently read?

 It was a cool movie as gorey as the book was, but oh so very compressed. I understood why so much had to be left out, and maybe even changed, but I felt like I was being zoomed through the tale.

Positives: Two things I wanted to happen in the book did (why don't you just throw the thing at them? and why doesn't anyone make a run for it?). Also! Less leaps of logic are required to watch the movie than to read the book. That's always nice.  

Unique horror movie. Although, I have to say, the book is still a great read, but it ended, and hard.

 The movie, in contrast, might actually live on.
