I don't understand the bad reviews

Reviewed by Sleepin_Dragon 7 / 10

This is why I hate gardening.

A group of young friends travelling in Mexico, are convinced by a young German man named Mathias, to accompany them to an archaeological dig.I honestly can't believe that this film dates all the way back to 2008, I watched it when it was first released, and have never forgotten a few of the scenes, one in particular.If you're a fan of films along the same lines as Paradise lost and Green inferno, then I think you may well enjoy this, the horror comes more from gory sequences, rather than jump scares. Some of the visuals are pretty gross.It's far from perfect, it takes an age to get going, and there are more cliches than you can even count, plus a set of characters that are a little difficult to like.Despite its many flaws, I still enjoyed it, it's not without originality, and the horror moments still hold up.Time to invest in some weedkiller.7/10.
